Popular Post tannerall 25,935 Posted April 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2018 One was amongst the most famous British footballers, the other probably unknown to most. Yet both had the honour of wearing our famous colours on the Ibrox pitch in front of 10s of thousands of fans, and we all knew they were loving being here, and thoroughly enjoying themselves in the process. And both apparently great guys too. For me Ray Wilkins was a model professional, not too many players get to play for great teams at their peak like Milan, Chelsea. Man United and the Rangers. He played football the way I wanted to play. Thoughtful, intelligent, playing for the team, consistent, focussed, and with many moments of great skill and brilliance, for both England and us. And Stuart "Broxi Bear" was a model professional too, probably a natural, it's not easy keeping Gers fans entertained, as most of us know, but he did it at every home game we played, a hero for our younger fans In their own way they both brought a special kind of football magic to our club, each to a whole generation of Rangers fans. R.I.P Ray and Stuart, both Rangers heroes. bombaybadboy08, CoopsLaud, bornabear and 30 others 33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s already a minutes silence before the game for Ray Wilkins, it’s a minutes applause at the start of the second half not a bad thing imo.

He spent much of his time, voluntarily, encouraging Rangers fans of all ages to applaud themselves and the team. Quite a fitting tribute in my opinion. bordersbear, CoopsLaud, Inigo and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way everyone in the stadium is going to stay quiet while the match is going on so I don’t see any other way to do it when there’s already a minutes applause before the game.

Not hard to stay silent and pay respect in the proper way though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But during a game I don't see a problem with a minute's applause . As T says , it's more fitting to someone who was encouraging everyone to have a good time .

Why not give the guy the respect of a minutes silence before kick off. Surely the board believe he deserves this having volunteered for years.

Explain to me how we’re going to organise a minutes silence while the game is ongoing, should we get the players to stop playing and be silent too?

It’s very simple the right and proper way to show respect is head bowed in silence the minutes silence prior to kick off for both is all that is required Garnock Blue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
