Is it time to end One Minutes Applause for supporters who have passed.

Agreed.

Its a relatively new phenomenon anyway,which has 'coincided' with the prominence of social media/faux outrage/professional grief monkeys and chav society in general - its almost become a competition who can display the most sympathy.

I fully support a moment of reflection and respect but id like a return to the days when it was kept more personal and dignified.

Agree with this.

Also I wasn't aware of the arranged applause so didn't clap. I'm guessing many people were the same, hence why it didn't get off the ground.
 
If it brings even some small comfort to a grieving family then I'm more than happy to do it. Remember that these minutes applause are almost always requested by friends and family.
 
Also, if it was me I'd personally prefer a minute of applause after a game to a minute of silence before it, but maybe that's just me. Would be nice if Sergio scored while I was being remembered ;)
 
Sorry, but on recent clapping I had no idea what is was about, and as substitutes warm up in front
of where I sit I thought it was about them.
It escapes most of the people in the ground whats it's about, and people just join in because thy think they should.
 
So basically, we’re asking for 50,000 football fans to keep quiet for 60 seconds.
No applauding, or chatting amongst yourselves?
Just one moment of reflection.
Will it ever happen?

Nope
 
If someone dies that I like I go to the funeral, seems sensible. Someone supporting the same team as me who dies rates pretty low on the give a fuckometer. Wasn't Facebook specifically designed for this mock blubbing?
