O/T:- Palestine / Israel

[Notts78]

Yep… **** Israel followed by **** Palestine.

Then something about a wedding

Anyone hear what was going off in the minutes silence?

I don’t think I’ve heard a minutes silence so badly observed at Notts. Really poor form.

Sounded horrendous on the TV constant shouting/booing.

No credit to either club, but it was a disgrace that the EFL imposed this on all clubs. As I remember it, the ref blew his whistle and the ground was silent for a few seconds before a Stags fan shouted "F*ck Palestine". This drew boos from Notts fans in the Kop, Stags fans retaliated and some in the Kop started chanting "W@nkers" in response. It was an embarrassment and did the exact opposite of what it was meant to do.

My question is why did it take place? Why does a middle east war have any connection to a Notts v Mansfield game? Why does football need to be involved? The death of innocents over there is appalling, but what has it got to do with an EFL League 2 game?

Unless it was a Stags fan in The Kop you are wrong. **** Palestine came from behind me and to my right…

Low life, how could anyone not observe that minutes silence.

Good point Elite. The football powers seem obsessed with demonstrating empathy for any and every conflict.
You used to have a minutes silence once in a blue moon. Now its every week.

If there were proof then there would be no need for faith.

But I would suggest many "religious" people have very little understanding of the basis of their beliefs as they are likely to have been indoctrinated throughout their lifetime.

A study of the history of Muhammed gives much insight.

Faith in something you can't see touch or feel is exactly what the zealots want. It how they control you.

I think that holding a minute's silence at a football match should only be for a death related to either of the teams playing, a national tragedy, or the death of a national figure. Otherwise it can become pointless virtue signalling and doesn't help victims in any way.
