Same here. A minute's applause seems inappropriate to the way he died, anyway. Those in ISIS will probably think we're applauding in approval. I think a minute's silence for all those who have passed away, at the last home game of the year, with their pictures on screen is more suitable.nobody can eat fifty eggs said:I'm with you on this, plus with the sensitive situation over there at the moment its best to keep out of it as a club.mammutly said:Much sympathy to Alan's family and not in anyway minimising what a terrible thing his murder was, but we are not Liverpool. Let football be football. A lot of us go to the match to enjoy it.

Not really. Applauding someone's death is a relatively new idea AFAIK. Applause usually means approval. We know why it's done (especially at football games because it's easier than a minute's silence), but do all other cultures see it the same way.oakiecokie said:willy eckerslike said:Same here.
