Why can’t football fans be trusted for a minutes silence?

[pace89]

City are incapable of orchestrating a minutes silence these days. The second the name of the person whose died is mentioned thousands of emotionally incontinent halfwits start applauding. It's like X-factor. They did one at West Ham a few seasons ago where the man on the PA basically told everyone to shut up as there was going to be a minutes silence and there actually was a minute of silence.

I tend to regard the proliferation of random minutes applause to pay tribute to some fella who once did something as a symptom of a society that becoming ever more sentimental as it also becomes cruller.

It's 1 minute every now and again you mard arses, game still kicks off at the same time. Why is everyone so miserable ffs.

Because they are reminded about death before every match,thats why,and often during the match too. Ffs
