Imo the applause came about because folk like the scum and sheep embarrassingly couldn't show respect in silence for 60 seconds. So to mark that, it evolved into a minutes applause. If I want to respectfully acknowledge a death or memory ie for our 66 I'll do so with my head bowed, in silence. Just not this Sunday I wont. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None at Ibrox though. We should have asked for a postponement. Lots of our players/staff had close ties with T Burns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA1972 9,494 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Eric Caldow died recently with absolutely no fanfare from the Scottish media or other clubs and I think it’s a fucking disgrace compared to the absolute wank fest over McNeil Will I fuck be applauding for any ex filth player or anyone who even condones the existence of that rancid club. Just another who helped keep their clubs dark ‘open secret’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our own ex players and fans have gone through this and still going through it. Ridiculous to say that. Last part of your sentence was all that was needed.

No probs Mate . However it's 2019 . A lot of things have happened to us in last 8 years . And they have all been bad and caused by our enemies The people that run our institution disgust me at best . I truly despise them for their continuing cowardice in many situations .

sassaaaa 11,406 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Agree with the whole silent stuff regarding McNeil , but when did we start doing applauses ?

Davy Vandenbroucke 26,134 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 His family asked for applause instead of silence so it’s correct that the club honour that request. Silence is obviously better imo but if you decide to hold a tribute you should go with the family's wishes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brubear 2,905 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 44 minutes ago, Colin Traive said: Awkward for the club because they know any hesitation on our part to show respect will be used as a stick to beat us with, especially by the fenian media, still in mourning and unwilling to point out that McNeill could lift a European cup but had great difficulty lifting a phone. Not sure I agree. Are all other games in Scotland having a minutes applause this weekend. If not then we could have let it pass unrecognised and couldn't be criticised. Now if a sizeable % of our support do not applause that will become a headline. They have put fans in difficult position. Most will have difficulty taking part in this applause but will also know that by not doing so they are creating a problem in the media for the club. I can honestly say this is the first time I am glad I cannot make a game at Ibrox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
