By the way if the Queen had a choice, she'd be heading to the races instead of wallowing in grief over someone they didn't know. and Phillip would have loved nothing better than a quiet, private funeral away from gawping strangers. The fuss and blanket coverage with all enjoyment cancelled is for the benefit of the flag waving monarchists who are the same odd balls who attend funerals of people they don't know. The Royal Family only comply with it to show that there is a reason for them, and we wouldn't manage without and to maintain their lifestyle at our expense. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them and plenty of other radio stations losing both listeners and advertisers (for no one is running ads) for the next fortnight so they'll be losing quite a lot of money.

MIR17 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I also feel like the PL have completely misread the room on this and jumped the gun.

Quote Shamrock Rovers have condemned their fans who engaged in “highly insensitive and callous” chants on Thursday night celebrating the death of the Queen. The singing occurred during the Dublin club’s Europa Conference League stalemate at home to the Swedish club Djurgården. “Shamrock Rovers FC has been made aware of chants by a group of individuals at last night’s game,” the club said in a statement. “Such highly insensitive and callous chanting is not acceptable at our club and is against the values that Shamrock Rovers FC stands for. “Our ground regulations issued on match tickets and on signage at entry strictly prohibit such activity. “The following is also announced over the PA system before all of our games in Tallaght Stadium: ‘Shamrock Rovers Football Club welcomes all supporters to its grounds and condemns any form of bigotry and discrimination in soccer. Shamrock Rovers Football Club does not condone hostile abuse of individual players, spectators, or officials based on ethnic or cultural background, nationality, or religious affiliation. Those found to be involved in any such behaviour will face ejection from the ground and will be reported to the Gardaí.’” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
