canary cherub 1 Posted August 2, 2009 Announced yesterday at the Wigan game - 1 min applause before the game next Saturday. Ipswich''s two deadliest rivals uniting to pay tribute to the man who won them the UEFA Cup - ironic but somehow fitting.I''d prefer a minute''s silence but these days you can''t get people to turn off their mobiles, so better applause than a silence not properly observed. And it would only take one attention-seeking idiot shouting "Scum!" to bring shame on the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excited Canary 19 Posted August 2, 2009 I went to the Forest game after Brian Clough died, and they did a 2 minutes silence but instead it was 2 minutes of singing "Brian Clough''s a Football genius" repeated. That was good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firstly it is more celebratory but probably in this day and age it takes care of those who who cannot keep silence for a minute or who think it fun to keep on talking/shouting.I do agree that if the silence is held for a minute it is awesome but this is now............When Sir Bobby''s widow turned up today to view the tributes at the Newcastle ground she was applauded all the way along. That was moving, too, I thought.So bring on the applause. We''ll do our best to join in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisr 0 Posted August 2, 2009 Obviously it''s good to celebrate Sir Bobby''s life in any way, however I can''t stand the minute''s applause. Anyone can make lots of noise. It takes some sort of discipline to stay silent and the whole point of being quiet is to reflect on the subject. And as has already been pointed out, 25000 people silent at a football match is a very powerful expression of feeling. 25000 people being noisy at a football match is pretty much business as usual.

linco88 0 Posted August 3, 2009 any tribute to the great man will be muchly greeted by me. i think if anyone had the nerve to shout scum if we done a silence then surely they could be singled out with the technology these days? lets give him the send off and the song he deserves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
