Had to go up the stairs and tell the stewards by ML to shut up last night, talking extremely loudly throughout the whole thing. |  |

I've been told several times we should be keeping politics out of football. |  | | |

There's a difference between touting a political agenda and observing a rite which transcends football. The minute's silence was totally appropriate and I was pleased that it was well conducted by the club and both sets of supporters. [Post edited 6 Nov 13:21]

The poppy isn’t political. People make it political and shame on them. It’s just showing respect to men and women who gave ultimate sacrifice. | | | |

The sound of fireworks booming in the distance and the occasional burst and crack of the aerial rockets during the silence and Last Post added to the poignancy of the moment. |  |

I thought that as well....
Also the children around us... fantastic in their respect... old facts like me whose parents were active during WW II, so understandable, great to see the next generation also honouring it | | | |

I do find it odd that people are so outraged by the idea that wearing a poppy is a politically symbolic act. I mean, view it as commendable, important, poignant etc by all means - but if we understand "political" to mean "relating to public affairs" then of course it has political meaning to it, Shirley. |  | | |

And to insist that an act is non-political but also demand that people comply by performing that act is just an untenable position! | | | |

Do you know what stunned me? Just how long it took the announcer to read the list of former QPR and Southampton players who died in those two wars. I was genuinely shocked.
Looking it up - 28 QPR/Former QPR players served in WW1. 10 were killed. More than 1 in 3.
I knew about 800,000 British soldiers died in WW1 - but it's hard to relate a number like that to real people.
But, that list of names. I just thought of the survivors looking at a team photo post-war and seeing the faces that didn't live. | | | |

Fair play to you, as you and everybody else Included have that choice, and long may It continue.
On a complete side note, I'm ex Military and during the playing of the last post our Regiment would be on the parade square (near to 600 Squaddies) standing to attention, total silence and all of a sudden one solitary bugler would start playing the last post.
You stand there motionless, struggling to keep your emotions In check, as long as I'm on this planet I'll never ever forget those moments back In the late Sixties In what was then West Germany. | |

My father-in-law was in the London Scottish Regiment,and he says that their troops were the 1st soldiers who went over the top in one of the main battles in WW1.They lost 400 men in one night,which is a staggering number compared to modern warfare.
The regiment has its annual dinner on 31st October to remember those poor souls who were killed on that day.
I’m lucky enough to be going to the Albert Hall on Saturday for the remembrance service,and I’m sure that will be an emotional experience.
RIP to all those who died for the freedoms we enjoy today. |  | | |

It's ridiculous how some people conduct themselves. Words fail me. But the ignore button never does.
Anyway, I always fine the way the club conducts the minutes silence deeply moving.
RIP those who fought and gave their lives to give us a better life. |  |

In large part it is remembering working class people who died fighting facism under a coalition government which included the Labour party. | | | |
