Pata Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I really think it should be a minutes silence when a young person like him dies unexpectedly and young kids (who were there!) are left without a father. Leave the appreciative applause to people dying because of old age. RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing like an impeccably observed minute’s silence for a solemn occasion. Silence marks a tragedy, applause appreciation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Clapping in my mind is not showing respect in such tragic circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think, but as soon as the PA said Atsu's name people just immediately started clapping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
