This allowed players, management and fans to show their respects. They do. And my father was honored this, way, and it's a great way to respect fans no longer with us. But I feel when younger guys who die suddenly and we're a huge part of the club deserve this at the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was merely replying to BuddieinEK about doing something pre-game that allows players and management to participate. I don't think the 58th minute applause will particularly put players off, nor do I think every supporter's passing requires an 'organised' pre-game silence or applause as it is done for all at the final game anyway.

BuddieinEK Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Worst case scenario... What if the opposition score in the 58th minute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, however, have preferred it pre-match. I can't help but feel that tributes during the match can act as a distraction to the players. Pre-match, the players and management also have the option of joining in should they wish. Honestly? Let's just leave things to his friends who can do as they please The idea that this will distract players is one of the great overthinks of our time I am so sad you think this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll think they are receiving polite applause. I imagine Raymie would have had a chuckle at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 What a performance from the players on a day where almost every saints fan in the stadium got on their feet pay their respects to one of our own. Raymie's wife and daughter must have been humbled to see such a show of respect, from both sets of fans. Much respect to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
