As an Irish man I could not care less about the royal family and it annoys me when people from this country do but 99 is a great age. Shame he didn’t see 100
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why would that annoy you ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We’re Irish. Why does anyone give a damn about another countries royal family?

I don’t mind people being engrossed on the Harry/Meghan thing is it’s just celeb gossip but it grinds my gears when there’s a big hullabaloo about royals weddings etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh sorry, by ‘this country’ I thought you meant the UK

Turn it off then. When people I don’t like talk on TV I change the channel.

99 is a good age. Shame he didn't quite reach 100.

Still, on a brighter note, in these times of austerity at least the Queen manages to save a few quid not having to send him a telegram.

I'm sorry but who gives a sh-t.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no love for the royal family either but we are in a minority, an elderly man has passed away. Nowt wrong with paying our respects.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why on a footy forum though!

Not digging you out, but I do find it odd when people rush to post celeb/famous deaths that are not football related on here.

Said this on one of the other threads:

As an Irishman I have no time or interest in the royal family but behind all the BS he was still a human being and she was married to him for 70 odd years.

It is going to be a very difficult time for her also

I wouldn’t be surprised if she goes soon. It often happens that way after these long marriages.

Unless she couldn’t stand the bloke.

This site is used to discuss all types of subjects though, in case you didn’t know there was an election thread that had almost half a million comments.

No state funeral under current covid guidelines then?

The election is a very interesting topic though and getting a wide range of views on a footy forum makes sense.

A 99 year old dying, less so. Just feels a bit like "I need to break this news to as many places as possible" to me.

Still, each to their own.

Afternoon VC, you enjoying the masters?

Not to take the chat off tangent, I think when she does go (and your opinion could very well be correct), I wonder will there be any change in the British public perception of the royals? The Queen is very popular.

I’ve made my views quite clear on the royals here over the years JSPC, but the human side in us want to pay our respects for an elderly man passing away.

It will be a PPV event on Sky Sports to allow the nation to grieve

I’m not even joking, Arab.

I don’t think the human side comes into it. If you massively despise someone then I find it pointless and hollow that you’d want to pay your respects.

I bet you didn’t when Thatcher died (ding dong the witch is dead, if I recall).

Afternoon Irish. I will pick up the golf tomorrow probably. I was out playing after work yesterday.

The Queen is very popular and oddly over here in the USA, which I would never have expected. MSNBC just did a fifteen minute news segment on his death.

He wasn’t even born during the Thatcher years either.

I wasn’t born when Thatcher was PM, and I despise the notion of a royal family in this day and age but it doesn’t mean I can’t pay my respect to an old man dying. Each to their own though.

A bit like Nicola Sturgeon showing respect when we all know she despises the royals.

......

Why despise them. Just be indifferent to them.
