Dick_Turpin Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 2 hours ago, WC1Owl said: If a British businessman owned a club in Thailand, and the Queen died, would it be weird for his business to pay tribute to the Queen? I submit that most people here would consider it a perfectly natural thing to do. This is unrelated to any opinion I may have of either monarch. Maybe not for the people who work for him - but not 20,000+ customers. 2 mins is an Armistice Day thing. I've never noticed it done in this country for anything else. Given the nature of football and the way away fans are it may not be respected. I'm not worked up about it at all - it's just a peculiar sign of the way football is nowadays. Better be careful though:- http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/09/18/world/asia/thailand-king-lese-majeste.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thailand embraces in its bosom all people of Thai blood, Land of Thailand belong to the Thais. 11 minutes ago, owlZfan84 said: Get learning lads..

Long maintained its sovereignty, All Thais intend to unite together. Thais are peace-loving, but fight with courage They shall allow no one to rob them of freedom. Sacrificing every drop of blood for the nation, They will serve their country with pride and prestige, full of victory. Chai Yo (Cheers). No idea why it went like that, but anyways there's the english version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Just been dealing with some Thai blokes. Very nice, polite & punctual. Had a chat about king & they said young uns living in uk & back home not that upset. More like parents & grandparents who were. Not certain who might take over yet either.

But i don't see much wrong with showing a bit of respect to the owner of the club. We do minutes silences all the time for people we don't know, albeit i know many of them have had affiliation with the club. Players and fans all over the place pay respect for things that have no affiliation to them personally. And why is this suddenly a competition for minute silences - comparing it to remembrance sunday and aberfan "well Aberfan only got a minute" Christ. We don't half have a whining fan base. Stay in the boozer at 3pm. I wasn't suggesting that it was a competition, I was just making the comparison in order to illustrate why I felt it was a bit excessive. If you'd rather people with a different opinion to you stay away then you'd be left with an empty stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbloke no1 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 was over there last week ,all bars had to close on night of death and no loud /live music for at least a month.everyone wearing black ribbons and pictures of king and book of condolance in hotel.so wont hurt us to show respect to our chairman by keeping quiet for 2 minutes then let rip for 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after previously living there for nearly five years, and fully understanding how important he is to the Thai people, doing a two minutes silence for 25,000 or so English people is almost unprecedented. Anyway, let's hope there's no cretins there on Saturday. the average football fan is a moron, no way it'll be silent for 2 mins, some haven't got the brain capacity Edited October 21, 2016 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Now this is a but stupid ---> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-37731709 Football officials from Thailand and Australia have banned chanting at next month's World Cup qualifying match out of respect for the late Thai king. Football associations in the two countries have also said fans should wear black, grey or white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CE-Owl Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I don't even agree with our royalty and now I'm effectively being ordered to pay 2 minutes of respect to one half a world away. Let's call a spade a spade here. It's ridiculous - it's laughable. It's also a cultural and political imposition that if we reversed i.e Englishman doing it to an Asian club - the liberal media would be up in arms screaming colonialism and the like. My opposition is not personal to Mr Chansiri (we are lucky to have him given the way other clubs have gone) or the King of Thailand for that matter. It is just a sad state of affairs that so many English football clubs are now so dependent on needing huge cash injections just to get out of the second tier that we have become the playthings / pet projects of billionaires. Take a look around during the 2 minutes today, at all of us paying the money we do, at so many wearing those new shirts, and now stood in silence for some far off foreign king (of a country where to criticise him in any way means prosecution), and tell me we dont bear some resemblance to zombies!
