He was the Duke of Edinburgh and a member of the Royal Family. While you're right in saying it's not got anything to do with football, I can't say I'm surprised that both the Edinburgh clubs have extended their condolences.

Sharpie Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I have no complaints about the Royal Family. The queen just like lot of people has had problems with kids and their choices, but this is different. They have been partners for many years, to us Philip must have caused some raised eyes, but to her he was the support, the partner and the love she enjoyed and appreciated, I am very willing to give her my condolences, its not a time for airing ones contrary views of the position or the family.

luckydug Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 31 minutes ago, Pans Jambo said: A man has passed and that's never a good thing. Nothing negative to say about PP. What I do have to say is that a 99 year old man who lived in a luxury that the vast majority will never experience that died should not be "fawned" over. There will be NOTHING but this news for the next week and then a full day of shite when his funeral happens. Sycophants greeting in public and news outlets gauging "reactions"! FFS! The man was 99!!! I would say that was a good innings. Agreed there is a difference between showing the same respect that any deceased would receive, rich or poor and gushing servitude to people who see themselves as our 'betters'. ITV this morning breaking in to programme, with a stone faced female dressed in black pretending to be close to tears. Way over the top for someone she doesn't even know.

The gutter press will be on the starting blocks with this desperate to go, the editors will be holding them back but not for long. The first statement saying “what do you think Harry and Megan will do” will open the floodgates. Lorraine, loose women.....that flat earth, pant wetting twat with the pony tail 😂 on the morning breakfast programs will all have a say.
