elderslieblue 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 As I said on another forum bud.................. if the Club don't change their mind, the fans should stand in silence OUTSIDE the Ground. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraser54 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 also what makes it worse is that it is on the 11th never heard of a minutes clap on the 11th 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I think the minutes applause is as good respect as a silence. I first saw this last season when West Ham were supposed to have a minutes silence for John Lyall and the whole crowd started chanting his name. Im sure the big man above would have actually preferred this as it showed the fans were passionate for him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest honeyi Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 A minutes silence is much more respectful IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a disgrace. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudbertz 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I think the applause is as good as silence. You always get some part of the ground that doesnt stick to the silence and that pisses me off more than not having some part of the ground clap. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,665 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 chris: Maybe at other grounds you do but not when it's at Ibrox where Rangers fans always immaculatley observe silences. Applause is ony for club's whose fans cannot be trusted to do that. We can and by having this applause we're only once more patronising our fans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
