minutes silence

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Would they be the same two faced Littlewoods fans that booed during the silence for George Best at our place? We spent days afterwards listening to rags in the media wrongly blaming City supporters for the disrespect.

As I suggest, some 'football fans' can be quite selective when they choose to remain silent.

I was about to make a similar point.

I remember Aston Villa fans ruining the minute's silence for Bill Taylor in 81-82, and similarly City fans ruining the minute's silence for an Ipswich director at Portman Road in 87-88

I was also at Anfield for the Busby silence, although I seem to recall the vocal outrage appearing after about 2 seconds: ( "SHUT UP" sounding just as stupid as the original idiots).

Wasn't it because some people were disrespecting the silence (not sure which stadium) that people started applauding instead of silence? Just asking, thinking out loud.

Yes it was though applause in some sensitve cases would be better.

On the concourse bit, surley they could just announce it over the tannoy on there to shut the fuck up prior

last season's against United was one of the best we've done as a club. Just a shame some booed because they pulled out the united flag on the pitch as well.

Going to need to extend them to 3 minutes soon.

Why are clubs doing rememberance silences now and not on their nearest game to Nov 11th?

Nearest home game to the 11th ? I would guess City will do it next Saturday

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Like everything else it will be different / strange this year. Are we not already doing a taking a knee minute of silence before every game anyway? - will next week be not taking the knee, or taking the knee with an additional minute also?

International break?
