Believe The Hype Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Always been my impression of it. Despicable scumbags refusing to respect a silence on the basis of political views they know f**k all about led us to this applause nonsense. (Both sides as bad as eachother but im afraid Celtic have to be singled out based on what I've witnessed at TFS in the past) All for fans organising in game applause/songs whatever, but the respectful gesture for me before KO is a silence. Never seen anyone bursting into respectful applause at a funeral, or any other sort of memorial Wasn't the applause a foreign way of showing respect that we adopted in the UK. Pretty sure the Italians have done this for a long time, I remember watching a European tie years ago where a UK team had a minute silence and the opposition fans applauded instead.

I think a minutes applause is used as a celebration of some ones life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambino7 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 A very good standing ovation he had tonight. I never actually realised how many teams and how many players actually knew and really liked "Mitch" rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
