Unfortunately I think clubs in general have started to change other minutes silence (not remembrance one) to applause because a minority of idiots can’t keep their mouths shut and applause covers this up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don’t think anyone was trying to replace the silence with a minutes applause. It was a misunderstanding following the bugle that snowballed. It was just a very unfortunate incident.

Once the last post had been played some of the stewards allowed people to start walking up to their seats, where we had all been held back beforehand.

handsofclay Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Although the minute's applause was a misguided show of respect, I felt especially sad that the silence hadn't been observed because this year is especially poignant as it marks the 100th anniversary, as we know, of the ending of the Great War in 1918. If the Tommies who perished in that conflict were looking down they would have been touched that their sacrifice was still being remembered and ceremonies conducted a century on. However, they wouldn't have understood the applause when the call was for silence to remember them and might even have thought it was some kind of joke.

That’s clearly a ridiculous thing to suggest. No I’m not suggesting that, in the age when any tragic event occurs people are so quick to take to social media and virtue signal how much there care and claim to be so upset and full of sympathy for what happen by taking 30 seconds to write a tweet . But when we are all gather has one has a community people don’t know how to conduct themselves in a dignified manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People know how to do a minutes silence and we’ve done it impeccably as a club many times before. It was simply a very unfortunate misunderstanding.

I don't think anyone was activly trying to replace the silence with a minutes applause, I think it's a general misunderstanding that we always do a minutes applause now. It only takes a few to mess it up and a lot of others feel the need to join in as they are unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few people were applauding the bugler, thinking that the whistle marked the end of proceedings. And it snowballed from there as everyone panicked and joined in.

BristolCity1992 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 What's most embarrassing is the amount of hand wringing in this thread to be honest. Compare it to the reaction on the Preston forum for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t Remembrance Sunday or armistice day after all. A simple minute’s silence would have sufficed, and had more dignity I think, without all the add-ons. Exactly this. There seems to almost be a competition to see who can remember most conspicuously these days, in football and the wider country. Simplicity is far more dignified imo.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 It was a mistake. No disrespect shown intentionally, I'm sure if many of those soldiers who died were here today they'd have laughed it off as a balls up and that's it.

Laner Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Interesting that in the Manchester derby it sounded like they used the Last Post to be the period of silence. Ref blows whistle then they clapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 There was, however, no excuse for club putting it on social media. Appalling behaviour from all who took part Simply reinforces view of rest of the country that Bristolians are thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 It’s the ones who started the applause I’d aim the blame at, the majority who joined in where probably caught by surprise and then caught in 2 minds, but the instructions were clear as day. As for the two faced Sags who are reading, and sticking the boot in and trying to point score on such a low level, aren’t you the ones trying to flog a Memorial site?

Not a clue why anyone would start clapping anyway, but as I said before the majority including the officials and players were caught in 2 minds so just went along with it, the people that started the clapping obviously were thick as shit as it was said over the PA about the ‘period of silence on the referees whistle’ which was also clearly written on the 2 giant screens.
