Saturdays game cancelled [re. 10.09.22]

[Elite_Pie]

Turned into a decent discussion again now, despite a certain poster's best efforts to shut it down. At least it wasn't Banjo this time.

I was almost tempted (but not quite) to do a laddo style "what a great thread this is". Instead, I'll say "what a typically NCM thread this is".

It's mostly about the game being off (we won 2-1 on my score prediction), but meandering into a discussion about music genres with a bit of cricket and horse racing thrown in. Add to that some strong differences of opinion without bothering Swale, and love it or loathe it it's the sort of thing that keeps the board going.

I only just managed to stop myself posting #viva.

....What this Thread has highlighted is how dependent some are on 90 minutes of pleasure/ torture on a Saturday afternoon regardless of what happens in life.

Oooooo Keldskye I wouldn't be saying that on here

I don't think the games should have been called off on Saturday, regardless of any fans reactions, but I would almost stake my life on their being a non respectful response from the Liverpool fans, even matching the despicable chants at one of the Irish Premier League games on Friday. Which was 'In a box, in a box, Lizzy's in a box, to the tune of Give it up give it up by KC and the Sunshine Band.
I suppose as a supporter of free speech I would have to say it is ok for that to be sung, but it would highlight what type of people were singing it.

If I had to put money on it, I'd bet on Liverpool breaking into a chorus of "You'll Never Walk Alone", then they can be defended as paying tribute in their own way (which will be genuine in some cases) rather than ignoring the silence to show support for their own team and not the queen (which will be the intention of others).

There's nowhere near enough actual Notts or football talk, and a little too much political comment for my liking.

Saying that for a certain section of NCM, and with a claim of "complete and utter b*llocks", being posted it's very much #viva , so you definitely should have lol.

The key bit there is "for my liking". What you like obviously isn't what everyone likes.

Let the board go in whatever direction it's posters take it.

Yes it is , that's why it put so people could be in no doubt that I was talking about me and not for the board.

Looks like it still wasn't enough lol

That's good to hear, because it's not always been the case.

[laddo]

Agreed, it certainly hasn't lol

Acronyms lol, emojis and hashtags#markit

The reason we now have a minute's celebration at sporting events, is because football fans couldn't manage to respect a minute's silence. I always remain silent for a minute, and follow it with a few claps at the end of that time.
I understand that not everyone agrees with the monarchy, but do think they should respect other folk that do, and show their feelings if they have to, after the minutes silence.
