WadeWilson 4,670 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Would prefer everyone standing on the 7th minute and observing silence tbh but great gesture regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersFanBase 611 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 I think the reason it's a standing applause on the 7th minute (rather than observing a minute of silence) is because Dundee United fans are standing and applauding on the 7th minute as well, and it'd be pointless for us to all be silent, whilst 12,000 of their lot stand and applaud. So it's worked out, both sets of fans will be standing and applauding, rather than one being silent, and one making noise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,705 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I wondered how a game down south was kicking off at 12:22 tomrorow. Thought hills had fucked up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that if it was an silence, it would be observed impeccably at our end. Of that I have no doubt.All the rest of 'em... Well, you'd need to take a leap of faith, I would guess.

BigJig 76 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Was caught in terrifying crush at a Parkhead the same day, only a whipper snapper too Scottish Cup Semi v St Johnstone I think that was, I was at the game to I think I was only 10 or 11 and was nearly crushed on the way out, quite frightening!!!

Shortbread 28 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Scottish Cup Semi v St Johnstone I think that was, I was at the game to I think I was only 10 or 11 and was nearly crushed on the way out, quite frightening!!!Yeah it was. I'd have just turned 8 and had been given tickets for my birthday. First time I'd ever been to an all standing game and remember being able to see pretty much nothing for the full 90 minutes. Game ended up 0-0 and we won the replay 4-0.Still remember it was an absolute scorcher of a day. Old boys with the transistor radios passing messages that something had happened but never knew the scale of it until we saw the news back home.

RangersFanBase 611 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 To be honest; I'd hope we'd even do something if there was ever a disaster at Parkdead. As much as you hate someone for supporting a certain team or whatever, no one deserves to go to a football match, and not come home. It's just not right. This is a sport we all love, fellow supporters of the game dying in a disaster is something that shouldn't be joked about, not pointing any fingers.... King Jela.
