I along with the rest of the stadium have just observed the minutes silence etc where everyone was upstanding and paying their respects.

Our ball boys sat through all of this with one even lounging across 2 seats. WHY???

Presumably either ignorance or a total lack of respect

[turrhall]

Why do you care?

[SHAUN]

It's just what the youth do today, They need education of why we pay respect and that comes from all of us

Sack them. They are a ****** disgrace!

Maybe they are from Derry.

It’s perhaps easier to ask why you don’t?

Get your facts right before you vilify them all, I was in the northern section of the west stand and the lad in front of us stood through it all.

Because I think it's pointless to worry about these sorts of things. Is doing what they did disrespectful? Yes, but it's their right to not stand if they don't want to. They presumably weren't mucking about or making a noise and disrupting the silence for other people so it's a non-issue. Maybe next year they'll decide they want to stand, who knows. IMO kicking off at some children on the internet because they haven't joined in with a silence 'correctly' is just a waste of time and effort.

Because those that died did so to allow us the freedom not to be dictated to?

Especially over something as petty as how we respect their sacrifice?

Top rant. Some of it might even be true.

To be honest I work with colleagues from the age of 18 they are no longer educated about the sacrifices of our ancestors. Blame Schools

[Nerima Spireite]

I’m sure most of them were better behaved than Trump, who couldn’t even be atㄹㅌd to go to a memorial ceremony at a French-American cemetery because it was raining. Instead, the rotten tひrd watched telly in his hotel room. No doubt Fox...

I don't believe showing respect for their sacrifice is petty at all. Sad that you think it is

That's not what I said though, is it.

Of all the things wrong at the Club a few ball boys' body language gets attention?

As long as folk observe the minute's silence it flies in the face of the freedoms won to dictate how they do so.

This is not true. My kids school go the extra mile to educate kids from an early age - They also have a remeberance day/evening which is excellent (including where all kids makes poppies and paintings etc etc). I’d bet that majority of schools in Derbyshire also do something.

Parents also have a part to play in their kids education and should bring them up to respect things like this.
