owls maniac Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Let's be right, the only reason most of us are going along with this is we're scared that if we upset DC he'll walk away. Pretty tragic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyto Alba Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Why should we give a monkeys about the king of Thailand? The fact is we don't and it's all bizarre as we simply wish to avoid upsetting the owner of the club in case he pulls the plug or something. Does he think we want to listen to the Thai national anthem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't it seem peculiar to us as we're not Thai subjects so mourning for a year wouldn't be normal for us would it...at the end of the day we showed our respect...which to you must seem really cosmopolitan but to the people who were there it was just good manners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(AP photo) SYDNEY - Australian football fans must tone down their dress and resist chanting or any "joyful activities" if they want to support the Socceroos at their World Cup qualifier with Thailand next month. The Nov 15 match will go ahead as originally planned, Football Federation Australia (FFA) said on Friday, but both the Australians and Thai hosts have asked fans to be mindful the host nation is mourning following the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) had sought to move the match out of respect for the long-reigning monarch, who died earlier this month aged 88. But FFA on Friday confirmed the would be played at Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium as originally scheduled, and asked fans to respect local customs and a series of requests from the Thais. The Australian body asked fans to respect a number of requests it said were from the Sports Authority of Thailand, including that clothing for spectators "shall be in polite manner with suggested colours such as white, black, grey and preferably with no designs on them". Banners, drums, trumpets, flags, megaphones, whistles and cheering sticks have been banned from the stadium, while FFA said the Sports Authority of Thailand had said fan chants would be strictly prohibited both inside and around the venue.

Beauchief Owl Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 DC is an excellent chairman. He also strikes me as a very decent and respectful man who has largely endeared himself to supporters. He does not hog the limelight nor seek publicity. His acknowledgement of the respect shown by our supporters, and those of QPR, struck me as being sincere, gracious and well considered. It was also delivered very soon after the match. DC has tried to deliver on his promises and is a man who, in return, deserves our support. I thought the two minutes was both interesting and moving. It also made me proud to be a Wednesdayite given the overwhelming reaction at the ground and the respect shown. The QPR supporters did themselves proud too.

But beyond comprehension, really? I see it as the equivalent of a friend asking you to go with them to a funeral of someone you don't know. Of course you have no or very little reason to respect the person who died, but you do it out of respect for the person who asked you. That seems easily comprehensible to me.

Almost beyond comprehension. When did a friend last invite you to a stranger's funeral? Anyway best keep quiet. Another 4 weeks of mourning to crack on with.
