The minute’s applause was because they couldn’t stop having a silence for every bugger going. There’s nothing like an impeccably observed minute’s silence for a solemn occasion. Silence marks a tragedy, applause appreciation. A minute silence should be a minute silence, always. It's supposed to be a time to reflect. Sound like a reet miserable auld bastard but are people so lacking an attention span that they cannot simply be quiet and share a moments reflection :lol: Edited February 18, 2023 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, they actually had one for Atsu at Forest which makes ours look even worse but I think it’s as much people not listening to what is supposed to be happening as much as anything. Not the first time it’s happened IIRC. Heartbreaking seeing his family though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed it wasn’t a silence for Atsu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Tbf with our awful PA system I'm not surprised nobody could hear whether it was meant to be silence or applause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
