CL teams, and I assume Europa, don't even have a slot to fit a midweek game in I don't think. Would have to be in the new year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused Clarity Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 4 minutes ago, anagain said: What rankles me is people like this act like they're better and higher than those they oppose. To write that shows different. Isn't the saying "be the better person"? Like I said, I'm a joker with opinions but I think I treat people right. Yeah, my opinions on some subjects have been criticised because I'm maybe careless. But you are right about attention and I am careful. You don't know the woman's history. You do not know her families history. If you disagree with her, just move on. It's that easy. What happened under the guise of empire was abhorrent and many people suffered. There's plenty of people on twitter I can see that do not hold the same reverence as we would. They're allowed to view her in that light. That doesn't mean that you or I have to view the Queen differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are banging on about your sentiment on the day someone has died, so yes, you are literally choosing this moment, that's low regardless of the individual. Embarrassing, just say nothing, it shows far more than opening your mouth at this point. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
