I see there will be a minutes applause at all Premier League and Football League games this weekend.

I'm liking this 'minutes applause' thing better than a minutes silence. Seems more of a celebration of life than a mourning of a death.

Depends though Sam. I think the point with the minutes silence is that it is so different and stands out from the usual noise at a game.

I like the minutes applause because you don't get 10 seconds in an realise in a panic that your mobile is still on full volume.

or get the urge to sneeze violently and follow through at the same time

Or you don't get to hear the hoolies outside the ground shouting 'C'mon let's have it!' at the Shrewsbury hoolies.

I actually watched the 1966 World Cup Final (yes really) and I appreciate what Alan Ball did for our game and our Country.


80% Bollocks :

However, it was announced today that David Beckham is to drive the hearse at Alan's funeral as he's the best we've got at delivering a dead ball.

RIP Alan

I think I prefer the minute's silence in general, unless the person was somebody as special as Clough or Ball where the applause reflects their incredible talent

Ha ha quality.

Never really saw much of Alan's work, just the average managerial career he seemed to enjoy.

61's not the best innings in the world, my deepest sympathy to all that knew the bloke.
