Steely 58 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 If O'Donnell's family have requested a minutes applause then I think we should respect that, although we may not agree that it shows the respect he deserved. However, I am embarrassed that the club has no plans to honor the 66 absent friends we lost that day. An absolute disgrace. But they did honor them. They laid a wreath down at the memorial site to the 66 who passed away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelle1880 242 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Indeed. I am sure that a lot of Bears who will attend the Dundee game will want to remember the 66 in their own way, a wreath is not enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that a lot of Bears who will attend the Dundee game will want to remember the 66 in their own way, a wreath is not enough for me. But Rangers PLC are laying the wreath. Rangers PLC would not be having a minutes silence, that would the fans at the match. So if you want to you ca have a minutes silence to yourself and remember the 66 who passed away. You can also hold a minutes silence to many who died in the first Ibrox disaster, which never seems to get a mention at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The club should be doing more to remember the 66 who died that day. There are a number of things they could do:Video Tributes on the big screenThey could sell a special programme remebering the disaster with the proceeds going to charityA minutes silenceThere are endless possibilities, we should never forget them and should always be educating younger bears to this part of our history, its because of that dark day that we have such a magnificent stadium which stands as a tribute to them.

I agree there is more they can do. But people just seem to be vocusing on a minutes silence. If they get a minutes silence they will walk away happy. That was the point I was ttrying to make.

BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 There will be no applause from me on Saturday. I will simply bow my head and remain silent for the duration of the minutes respect. POD deserves more than his tragic death to be half-heartedly applauded. As has been shown in some Premiership games, some fans even talk to each other during what should be a minute to reflect on the man's life. I urge every Rangers fan on Saturday to remain silent throughout the minutes applause, we have more dignity than those who run our club and it's about time they were told so.

A minutes silence is the only way to show respect to the man. However, if its what his family requested... I will clap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledWeegie123 1,274 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 ye good idea bazza if every rangers fan remains silent during a minutes applause we'll get lynched by the media and allsorts as the club who disrespected a minutes applause for phil,christ guys can you not see that maybe we dont feel its a good way to pay respects but phils family hasnt came out and said it would disrespect his memory so swollow your pride and applaud his life if only for rangers.

WATPRFCNo1 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 im pretty sure they will have the Absent Friends banner out in the crowd, plus people could make their own. as exilled said, staying silent will only back fire on us. minutes silence is more appropriate but what can ye do?

Arsenal were not criticised for their impeccably observed silence. I don't see how the media could possibly use the fact that the Rangers support decided to show their respect in a way that they have done for decades to criticise us. Phil's family have not condemned the minutes applause, but they haven't condoned it either. Show the man the respect he deserves and remain silent.
