Nobody Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm all in favour of standing up and clapping during the entire 90 minutes tbh. Maybe with a bit of singing involved as well. Would be like it is on away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Correctly speaking the 17th Minute clap has been in the 18th minute of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 It absolutely has to stop. Wallsendmag is bang on and it needs someone with a bit of power to come out and say something like that. Unfortunately it'll not happen because if you display anything close to a sensible opinion in opposition to grief junkies then you're at a high risk of being labelled a monster who disrespects the dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mourning_sickness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The 17th minute clap has to stop. People need to move on, if people didn't then the whole world would just be grief all the time. Do it once a season or something. It's ebbing away anyway, fewer people are doing it game by game and I couldn't really give a toss if people want to do it or not.

Theregulars Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Could it not be solved thus? 1. Clap if you want 2. Don't clap if you don't want 3. Don't get angry at people who take the opposite action and carry on supporting the team. Onto the game, I'm eagerly looking forward to watching the referee. The one against Blackburn was crap and the one against Forest was in the Ali Dia school of con-men/incompetence. You'd think that the referee put forward will be one of the best in the division / under stern instructions to not fuck it up. Just want things to return to normal with a routine win and put that week of insanity behind us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an odd phenomenon. There's nothing technically harmful about it though, you're right. It's just something which really shouldn't be happening anymore.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 It's just virtue signalling. For some it's showing that you're not racist, xenophobic, islamophobic etc by going massively overboard with disdain towards those things. For others it's going massively overboard with their supposed respecting of the dead/soldiers etc. Either way it's a completely phoney, selfish act considering the victims families themselves specifically asked people to stop doing it about 2 years ago.

I don't understand the whole applauding of people you don't know. Anyway, 4-0 on Saturday. Shelvey to score direct from a corner at Gallowgate and go wild.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This will be my first match since this debacle http://www.nufc.com/html/2014-15html/2014-09-20hull-h.html which was my first match since http://www.nufc.com/html/2013-14html/2014-05-03cardiff-h.html. I've been to about 5 or so games since we were last relegated in between those matches. Only going because I have family coming from the West Midlands, my cousin who is a Brum fan will be among us. People I've seen once in the last 20 years. My sis is also coming from London, her first match since QPR away final game of our last Championship season. As a company we are treating some of the lads too with tickets, drinks and a meal. Don't know how I feel to be honest, based on watching us on telly this season I'm not too sure the passion will be there 100%. Cheers Pardew btw for fucking ruining my love of NUFC!
