Personally I like the 1 min applause better especially when its maybe a club legend, leave the min silences for remberance day and real national tragedies like Dunblane.

An applause is another means of doing it. At least it drowns out the bams.

Sorry if I’m missing the point… but would it not look exactly the same?

In terms of teams form/momentum. Will ours keep up or will a couple of weeks of no games and extra training allow under performing teams to get it together.

I am amazed that there are folk that cannot stay silent for a minute to mourn someone's passing before a football match. Absolute attention seeking cretins. Its a matter of decency at the end of the day.

There is bad energy in mocking the dead. I’m not a Royalist but I’m also not happy she is dead like some folk seem to be.

It is a case of standing and doing f**k all for a minute. 

Having said that, if they had one for Thatcher I’d make sure I was in the ground at 1 minute past 3

I don’t think Thatcher or any politician for that matter can be compared to the Queen

As others have said, the bottom line is that - sadly - it appears that us football fans cannot be trusted to allow others to mark respect by remaining silent. Spoke today to somebody who was at the Hearts game referenced above, and he said it was pretty embarrassing - it got worse as the minute went on despite folk having a go at the numpties. The SFA will see it as confirming their view that fans cannot be trusted not to bring the game into disrepute, hence the cancellations..

Rugby, cricket and racing continue as their crowds seem to be able to keep their mouths shut for 2 mins.

If people really feel that strongly they should just arrive after the preliminaries are done and not shout "f**k the Queen" (or indeed Pope or anyone else). It's simple really - if we act like children we get treated like children and have our toys taken away, 

My "big team" is Spurs BTW and put up with twenty years of unremitting anti-Semitism from away fans at White Hart Lane so I know all about disrespect.

Clearly plenty of folk.

What has happened to simple respect for others? Why is that so difficult to understand? I despair... 

As I said, I wouldn’t boo but I certainly won’t be getting all offended because a few will most likely choose to. 
 

Amazingly, it tends to be those that throw about phrases such as “snowflake” and “woke” that get the most worked up.

It's not all about you.

Any idea why it seems to only be football fans, even if only a small minority, that feel the need to express disrespect out of all our national sports?

I imagine those who attend a working class sport are far more likely to voice discontent about a bizarre class system, as opposed to privately educated Rugby supporters.

It wasn't a like for like comparison. It was an example of when I wouldn't tolerate taking part in a minutes silence for someone......by not being there rather than shouting or singing through it.

There will be a minutes silence at the next round of fixtures, whenever that is. Therefore using that as a reason to postpone games is rubbish. It’s just kicking the can down the road.

Seems the strong expectation is that the funeral will be on Monday 19th so at least that ensures football a week tomorrow. Perhaps all four clubs involved (Ayr, Partick, Morton, Falkirk) can agree with the SPFL to punt the Trust cup fixtures to some time in October, given the next round isn't till December 10th, and reschedule the league games to Thursday or Friday night 22/23 September.

Bash some heads together, get the show back on the road FFS.

 

Not sure if any players are away for international games though.

So we come full circle. There will, rightly, be no football until after the funeral. I would be surprised if there are any minutes of silence after that - the powers that be will regard the suspension of fixtures to be respectful enough and neatly avoid the problem of "kicking the can down the road"..

Largely due to enough people like you, who refuse to be civil for 2 mins until an old lady is buried.

You reap what you sow. We live in a age of rampant egotism and disrespect.

They've backtracked and now offering refunds lol

Surely that's because the no refund policy was illegal. They sold the ticket for a game that was taking place at day and time X.

The game is no longer taking place at day and time X so they have broken the contract and you are absolutely entitled to a refund

SPFL have stated domestic football matches will be played next Saturday unless that’s the day of funeral ( which now looks like Monday 19th ) so off we go to Kirkcaldy next Saturday

Policing likely had something to do with it aswell as i've seen tonight the athletics arena in Killie just off the Bellfield is shut as Police Scotland as using it as a base for the next few days events in Scotland.

So clearly Police from across the land are getting drafted out to assist which would have left resources thin on the ground for policing football games, i know that doesn't really apply to lower league games though.
