PAUL 4 Posted September 17, 2013 Will there be a minutes silence on Saturday for Trevor Lemmon? would be good particularly as we are on tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowfuture 71 Posted September 17, 2013 A minutes silence or applause or whatever seems to be in vogue, personally I think a minutes silence at a packed football stadium is a much more moving tribute.Condolences to Gavin and the rest of the family.

PAUL 4 Posted September 17, 2013 I agree. Lets hope the club get something organised. And if one is organised lets hope it isn''t ruined by anyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFruit 28 Posted September 17, 2013 With all due respects to Trevor - I''m sorry I don''t agree, where does it stop? There have been many connected to club who were not players, managers, etc. who have passed away, nothing done for them & we should not start now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowfuture 71 Posted September 17, 2013 Did the many that you speak of have the honour of the players making an official request to wear black arm bands as a sign of respect. The circumstances for each individual are different! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PAUL 4 Posted September 18, 2013 Minutes applause is horrible I think - there is no respect. A minutes silence is much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings of a Sparrow 1,415 Posted September 20, 2013 Personally I don''t think so. I couldn''t pick him out of an identity parade and that''s not meant to do him a disservice.Did the players request black armbands did somebody say? That would be quite an honour.

Yellowfuture 71 Posted September 20, 2013 Yes the players wore black armbands on Saturday at their request, but if we are going to get comments about identy parades Wings I think it it best this thread is removed. I have never reported a thread before but out of respect for Trevor I will now report this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,415 Posted September 20, 2013 Woah! Hang on a minute at what point do you think I was being disrespectful?The OP asked an opinion and I gave mine and in no way was I being or intended to be disrespectful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowfuture 71 Posted September 21, 2013 Maybe being a bit over sensitive Wings, you weren''t being disrespectful agreed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
