captain jack Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 To be fair I was being respectful to Chansiri and no one else HAIL CHANSIRI LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'd have understood it if we were a Thai football team. It all seemed a bit surreal to me. I went to Cardiff and found the minutes silence quite emotional due to the obvious links to the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It's done. Was a bit odd, but whatever. Not sure there's any need to cry about it after the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbone Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Further proof that even when the football is great, the team are winning, and we received hundreds of comments from Thailand thanking us for what we've done, some miserable gits on Owlstalk will always find something to complain about the club.

PeakOwl Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 agreed...reading some of the comments on here, seems its just 'not cool' to show some empathy towards a fellow human being (and one that's done a lot for us!) during a time of loss...sad reflection on society, not to mention some Wednesdayites.

Even if doesn't strike a chord with you...I really can't understand how anyone could get so upset about it. I was completely indifferent to the whole thing.

cardiffowl06 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The video has had 200,000 views on youtube. More than most recent SWFC videos and is clearly being shared in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Oh and huge props to the QPR fans for respecting the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a very good touch by us for Chansiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody is crying. Just pointing out how surreal it was. I was coming into the ground just before the singing stopped. Deliberate timing tbh - just too odd for me plus I detest royalty as a concept. The turnstile operator didn't say a word to me when I said thanks. She very pointedly kept it zipped and almost looked worried. Very peculiar. Can't wait for the celebrations when the new King is crowned. That'll be a humdinger. On an even brighter note in patches yesterday i day I thought we were brilliant - some of the best football of the season. We're getting going and and from a strong base points-wise.

SiJ Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I will say one thing though: Whoever sang that anthem/song had a voice like finger nails going across a black board. Think having tinnitus would be a more pleasant experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portugal Owl Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Seeing the video I was impressed that the crowd observed the silence and the rest of it as well as they did. Whatever anyone thinks about it personally it has obviously gone down well with DC and will have impressed the Thai people enormously. I am sure most people as they get older find themselves going to funerals of people we didn't know all that well. We do it out of respect for the deceased, but more so to show sympathy for the bereaved. DC and his family obviously revered their King. So although I wasn't able to be there, I as a lifelong Republican would have stood and observed the silence in sympathy with DC. So well done to all those Wednesdayites. You may not fully understand why you did it. But you will have bought a huge amount of respect for our club worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
