I don't want to sound arsey about this, but I hate a minutes applause for this type of thing. A minutes silence is appropriate in this case as a mark of sorrow and respect. It's a true tragedy. A minutes applause should be reserved for a person who has lived a long, full life. Like Bobby Robson, 90 today. Mind I guess a minutes silence followed by applause today will be impossible to organise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about if they get someone doing the Bruce Forsyth thing where you lift your arms for applause and drop them for silence. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3418 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Terrible news. A lovely lad by all accounts. Earthquakes are absolutely horrendous. Full well remember the disastrous 8 point something that struck northern Pakistan in 2005 and left hundreds of thousands dead. It's a humbling site to see whole cities flattened and literally no going back for the survivors. Feel horrible for those in Turkey and Syria right now. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17628 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This is so sad. As someone points out on this thread, many celebrating in the crowd would also have died. 😢 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it, far too many dickheads to get through a full minutes silence without it being ruined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh it's not just people being dickheads, its almost impossible to hear instructions over the PA system nowadays, the sound quality is fucking abysmal. Add in people coming in a bit late and not aware, maybe a bit pissed. They did put his portrait up on the big screen (when are we getting better screens btw) which worked quite well.

wykikitoon 16498 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Apparently they announced it would be a silence on Saturday but the PA was fucked so hardly anyone heard it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
