Mr. Tom Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Worst thing about when one set of fans screw up a planned 'silence' is when the other lot start booing them. Might just as well start a barmy army as boo the noisemakers - same net outcome. Hope we keep it quiet even if the opposites don't. We won't though, obviously. Some wazzock will start booing, nailed on. Edited October 20, 2016 by Mr. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViolaOwls Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 2 hours ago, Holmes said: Well, its better than reading the Daily Mail and the beano, there is little evidence to show that a living royal family is more of an attraction than a defunct one to the tourists. They don't come all that way just on the off chance they might get to see them. They come to see the palaces and castles etc. It's also a little disrespectful just to have them as another sight to see on the old tour of the UK. Would be interesting to see how the British public would take to them, if one of the heirs to the throne married an illegal immigrant, but thinking about it isn't that what Queen Victoria did? They come to see the palaces and castles. Sorry I forgot the queen lives in a 2 bed semi. Just which family lives in the palaces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahrain Owl Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I have seen a few comments referring this request to the money that Khun Chansiri has put into the club but it isn't just about the money. DC has involved himself in the club in many other valuable ways - do we forget how he turned up at the hospital when one of our supporters was taken ill last year? Have we forgot the 2 girls singing with him (now....when we talk about something being wierd....??)? I am sure there are more events that I have missed but it illustrates (I hope) his passion and commitment for the club and the people involved at the club. Respect is very, very important to people in Thailand and I, personally, do not see anything wrong in this mark of respect. Although I see a caveat in 2 minutes and 1 minute silence would be sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 not a fan of silences 99% of the time and I'll be honest I have know idea who this bloke is/was. That said it's standing quiet for a minute or two so is it really worth debating in such great detail . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I agree with the fact that DC gets to hold a tribute to something that he holds dear and I will of course respect it. As I'm sure will everyone. But I also agree that it will feel quite strange and alien. The death of a very old man that we had no attachment to, even as an outside observer, will not feel like a tragedy to many. So the emotional response won't be there. But I'm sure people can respect it all the same. all it is really is an owner interrupting his business affairs briefly as a sign of respect. Just like a factory owner asking everyone to down tools for a moment of silence. I'm sure that has happened all over the world; wherever there are Tai owners.
