albluenose1990 29 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 It was the Dunfermline fans that started to clap, then quite a few followed. We wondered if the Dunfermline fans thought the rain hitting the roof was clapping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JograBear 1,074 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Minutes silence is being replace by applause in the modern era. Get with it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooler 4,509 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 As I said in another reply...this is nothing like a Tim disruption of a silence. Misguided maybe, but well meant.Misguided?How would you feel if a minute's silence was requested for one of your family, and some cunt started tae clap through it?I doubt you'd very happy aboot it.Serious question by the way.

GF John 169 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Write to The Times. Seriously...why disgust at people who were doing what they thought was a tribute?Because what they thought was a tribute ruined the club's tribute.If you're going to have an organised event as a mark of respect to someone, all of those present have to be together on it. The club announced a minute's silence, everyone knew the club wanted a minute's silence, yet some dickheads decided they want to be like the English fans and start fucking clapping through it.What if someone decided they wanted to applaud the war dead during the Rememberance Day silence? Do you think most of the stand would join in then?It was an embarrassing shambles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the brown brogue 1,934 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Socrates, true legend of the game... surely he has to be worth a minute's silence?He had just as much connection to Rangers as Gary Speed. (I think my wife might be right, and that I am indeed a heartless fucker)I agree completely, the whole thing was OTT as Speed has no connection to the club or scottish football whatsoever, so if you go down that road of a minutes silence for anyone connected with football then yes indeed it should be a minutes silence/applause for Socrates next week and probably every single week after that too.

If this "clown" had jumped in the Clyde after the game, would they all have jumped in as well?The guy was wrong to start clapping, but that disnae excuse the others who also clapped when they really should have ignored the "clown".

1873bear 192 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I was at the Chelsea game yesterday and they had a minutes silence which turned into applause I prefer a minutes silence end of....In Scotland we always had a minutes silence it was the tarriers who changed it because they were uncapable of being silent they always managed to chant IRA shite everytime...

blueismycolour 0 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 What? You guys really to get a life TBH. Timfoolery? What other Timfollery did I agree with? Just for a laughMany people/clubs around the world adopted the minutes appaluse before Celtic did it. Do you consider it disrespectful?I consider it disrepectful and even more so when you consider it was a MINUTES SILENCE that was asked for over the tannoy yet, some goons decided just to ignore that and do their own thing!why! Rangers do a silence to mark the passing of someone because its the dignified and respectful thing to you. We don't need to copy anyone else at all.To those that clapped yesterday, you should be ashamed of yourselfs that you couldnt even follow a simple rather basic instruction!

They had instruction to observe a minutes silence so that should have been simple enough for them to do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamd1986 8 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 It was very odd yesterday. I just can't understand why it would start off silent, then after 5 seconds one person starts to clap than several thousand others join in when it was CLEAR as day that it was a minute silence we were observing.Why could people who were clapping not then realise that there was a huge number of people keeping silent as well as the players? if they were confused as to what they should have been doing, this surely would have made the penny drop. Instead we ended up with a bizarre mix, which frankly looked terrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
