Aye not on then, it seems to have taken over the last couple of years. You don't get clapping during the Remembrance Day and rightly so. Personally I just don't think it is respectful.

That I was in SJP one year and people started clapping the remembrance day silence ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't win an award, the poor fellow was killed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's no excuse mind as this wasn't an occasion for clapping. Clapping in my mind is not showing respect in such tragic circumstances. I think it was handled badly from our side tbh. We got stuck between honouring Bobby Robson and paying respects to our fallen. Just a really hard day to cope with so many conflicting emotions.

80 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Was just thinking about them the other day because of Liverpool's supporters coming up. Glad the kid is doing ok. Amid all this joy it's easy to forget some terrible things are going on. Would be nice to think the club have given a bit of quiet support in the background.

He came up in my thoughts as well recently. To see one of our recent players involved in a natural disaster is quite a shock to the system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
