Football remembers them

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Sorry - I never meant to upset. The joint acts of remembrence by supporters at games are indeed very moving in their silence - I hope I didn't suggest I thought otherwise and if I did I apologise

And I will add on reflection that it was absolutely wrong of me to raise views on clubs in the context of this discussion and to even imply doubt of their motives in respect of remembrance. I was wrong and out of order.

Sorry I was misguided - and forgot that footballers and football clubs are the upholders of all that is honerable, good and decent about present day society. If I feel that there is just a little bit overweening self-importance with football clubs these days - especially the EPL - then I'm sorry - but that's how I feel. No complaints about them doing whatever they want but I'm not going to be gushing with my praise. Maybe I'd feel different if I felt part of a football family. Sorry- though it is moving that a silence can be observed - that's decent people.

As a football fan, I wouldn't argue that the game and the players sometimes appear to be in a moral vacuum and have posted as much on this forum; whether or not they actually cause the issue or merely reflect a trend in society is debatable. But as someone outside of the game your view will be influenced by the press, who do not necessarily report all the relevant acts or facts that occur within a club. I wouldn't necessarily disagree with the point you make regarding football in modern society, but to raise it here was totally wrong.

And I will add on reflection that it was absolutely wrong of me to raise views on clubs in the context of this discussion and to even imply doubt of their motives in respect of remembrance. I was wrong and out of order.

Thank you.
