Lack of Action Man Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 For once Downsy could not have been any clearer. Very disappointed at Sheffield Wednesday fans. On a fixture that is especially emotive for those of us, like myself, who have/had loved ones in the forces, all you ask is for a basic level of respect. I overheard someone mention that the PA system in the Atyeo doesn’t work, I hope this is the case. On a positive note - 3 points and a dominant second half performance. Enjoy your weekend fellow reds. COYR. 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinMan's left peg Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I really doubt it was disrespect from the Owls fans, they were silent for the whole bit before that. I expect they just didn’t hear the instructions. Actually thought it was silly of the city fans to then boo them, that was more of a distraction from the gesture 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasSavage88 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 TBF you can barely hear the tannoy in some places and I can't imagine the one in the Atyeo is any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 If the rest of the ground is silent that might be a clue? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 At least the trumpeter was on form this year, last year's effort was a bit embarrassing. I did wonder if anyone arriving late may have thought that, as much they miss Pearson, the Last Post was a bit over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portred Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Was very disappointed in the Wednesday fans. Clearly a silence was being observed, then it seemed like one Wednesday fan shouted out to start a song and they all joined in. Was only ten seconds from the end. Could they not have waited ten seconds ? As my mate said, we are all one when it comes to respect for our fallen. Lest we forget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was more of a "come on Wednesday" or whatever once the bugle was finished. That often happens after a silence they just got the timing wrong. Could have done with using a bit more common sense/read the room a bit better but it didn't seem like they set out to ruin it intentionally to me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 It was really poor and disrespectful from the Wednesday supporters in the Atyeo. The bugler had hardly finished before they started chanting. There was no silence to speak off and the referee spared further embarrassment by just blowing his whistle as quickly as possible. Not very classy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I don’t think it was deliberate by a few - just stupid. Give benefit of the doubt but yeh not a great look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin101 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 TBF, the trumpeter had finished several seconds earlier. I was wondering why the referee hadn’t blown his whistle as I thought he would at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted November 4, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I felt for the two buglers before the Newcastle match this evening They struggled to hit the high notes and in the last section one stop playing all together Upmost respect to all those that played at the grounds today, I imagine it's very nerve wracking 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsy had said that the reading would take place, followed by the last post, followed by a period of silence which would end on the referee’s whistle. Just my opinion but the Sheff Weds fan who shouted out after barely a few seconds didn’t show much class or respect. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsie had said there would be a period of silence "after the "Bugler" had finished" so there was no excuse to get it wrong. It was a shame the guy playing the "trumpet" didn't risk playing a Bugle (which is much harder to play well) but is the correct instrument to use for Remembrance events My guess is the well-behaved Wednesday fans (the vast majority) would have given appropriate grief to those who shouted out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Is it people pouring in one minute before kick off, fresh from travel and the pub. I don't discount this possibility when a minutes silence is botched a bit by a minority of fans- literally rocking up in chanting mode at 2.59pm.

Dredd Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Some City fan some rows back from me in S18 thought it appropriate to use the silence to make a hilarious joke to his mate in the seats in front - telling him to 'not blow his own trumpet'. To me that was more disrespectful than the Wednesday fans who clearly thought the end of the trumpet was the end of the silence and gave it a big 'come on Wednesday'. Mistakes happen. The City fan was wilful in making his funny funny joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
