Our team will notice a muffled sound from our section, but no big deal.


In the overall hierarchy of soccer behavior, turning backs to the field is more of an insult than sitting down and being quiet.

It will NOT be done as a group in the Loyalists section, so those of you who want to do it should probalby go find seats a little higher up if you want to be solitary. I mean, show solidarity. 😉 If you want to get your point across, go sit right behind the team bench for a few minutes when you do this. That'll be effective and won't make it seem like it's something "The Loyalists" are doing. This isn't something "The Loyalists" are doing. This is something that SOME fans are doing!
Too bad James Edward of DesNews thinks otherwise.

Now I am thinking its too bad that I mentioned James wrote it...

This is almost as ridiculous as the alcohol sales in Cedar Hills.

People it is 1 minute..1 minute out of 89 min. I know that I have given my all every match to cheer our team on to victory, too bad I can't say the same about the team.

EDIT: Sorry didn't mean to offend anyone. :o


Who wants to be known as the most futile team in league histroy? I guess if you want that title go ahead and cheer for them during that minute that I am going to be quiet and throw my black streamer.

well I suppose that Jules has made the decision for ALL the Loyalists so I guess that we should AL:L ask Jules what we should ALL do as the Loyalists.

Well?

Wow. I am not certain if you are joking or not. Wouldn't it be more fair for you to step out of the section at the appointed time?

I'm curious montgjules, is this your first season following a soccer team? Is this your first time in a supporters club?

This could be a big, big disgrace to the Loyalists if not done right, especially since it has already been announced in the paper that it would happen and the idea had overwhelming concensus prior to today. I think everyone should go look at the posts that started this discussion and see how the decision came about. Then read the more recent posts that challenge the idea.

I will buy plenty....and of course throw plenty.

Ok let stop this arguement people.
I don't think anyone should try to destroy anyone else's potential actions here.

Right or wrong. Lets cool it.
If you want to argue do it thru PMs or go over to BS (I hear no one posts in the KC forums).
I am not asking you to stop posting, but please calm down and just reflect on the other persons POV.
Thank you.

Disgrace to who? And why should we care?
