Getstiffed 8,863 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 A minute's silence is appropriate when its the war dead or a tragedy. A minutes applause to celebrate a man who's lived a full life and has made a large impact on society in some way is also appropriate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But silence is appropriate for remembrance and applause to celebrate someone's full life and contribution Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I tend towards silent handclapping in these politically correct days, cant go wrong. Seriously though, much prefer a minute's silence. Provides exactly the right amount of gravitas and allows room for individual and private reflection.Tom Finney R.I.P.

Tontospal 1,116 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 It's simple for me.If you are commemorating the achievements of someone who is alive it is through applause.If you are commemorating the achievements of someone who is dead it is silence.

Ger77 742 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 To recognise the contribution of someone that is dead it should always be a minutes silence.This happy clapping pish started because of the disrespect shown by certain other clubs fans.We should be condemning it instead of accepting it.
