Slack Bladder Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 To be fair the minutes applause was followed by 90 mins of silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolskRed Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 The sentiment was completely respectful. Whether it went to plan was neither here nor there and more or likely not City’s fault. Please let’s not use this to bash the club as well eh??

Jacki Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I found the whole thing bewildering and couldn’t believe it when the applause broke out. Everyone around us looked like they didn’t know what to do. As others have said, it perfectly summed up the day really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RightUpInCider Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Personally... I tweeted the club and Downsy with a request that we had a minutes silence at half time. No such luck. It was really unfortunate but I still s little robbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clapping had nothing to do with a lack of dignity or respect. It was simply an unfortunate misunderstanding of the sequence of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 It was a complete cock-up. I was among those stuck in the concourse during the whole thing. We were all ready to go silent as the whistle blew, but then there was clapping, so at that point the stewards were confused, assuming the remembrance was over, and actually let us in at that point. Shambolic! The announcement should clearly have stated that there would be a minute's silence to start on the referee's whistle and then finish on a second whistle. Something similar has been said previously. To be honest, the whole episode was the perfect precedent to the mess that followed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Utter Shambles. Shouldn't mock the fella's accent but might as well have had Shag Connors read The Exhortation. As for The Last Post, couldn't help but think of that Eric Morecambe line:"..playing all the right notes, though not necessarily in the right order...."

Up The City! Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 4 hours ago, Harry said: This was indeed a shambles. The PA quite clearly said “after the Last Post, please observe a moments silence upon the refs whistle”. The fact people couldn’t understand that simple instruction says a lot about the intelligence of some of our fans!! Can only assume they thought the refs whistle signalled the end of the “moment of reflection”. But my word, what a bloody shambles. Still, long and short of it is, everyone did what they thought was right so respect was shown in a way, but I just could not believe what happened. How dare you insult the intelligence of our crowd! Get off your high horse will you. The instructions were not very clear at all and due to the poor PA even if they were clear then people wouldn't have heard. I think most thought that the silence was during the last post. So in effect there was a minutes silence and a minutes applause so best of both worlds.

Clearly many didn't understand the simplest of instructions and so I question their ability to retain information for more than 60 seconds. I've already said that no one would have done this in a disrespectful manner, so I'm not insulting the intent to be respectful, just the brain to follow simple instruction.

So in effect there was a minutes silence and a minutes applause so best of both worlds. I don't think most thought the "silence" was when a bloke was playing a trumpet. The clue's in the name. I fully expected the silence to follow after the Last Post and I would imagine most other people did. I think what happened was, a few people mistakenly believed the whistle marked the end of proceedings rather than the start. This led to a ripple of applause, which quickly swelled to include the whole ground as we all essentially panicked and joined in. It was just very unfortunate. The instructions were clear to most of us, but it only needed a minority to misunderstand for what happened to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armistice day is always remembered with a moment of quiet reflection, silence. Wether it be in the shopping centre at work, football or wherever, it's always silence. When the last post is playing, that's not silence, it afterwards. No instructions should be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
