Minutes Applause Paul McCarthy

No. Silly time to arrange it for, really. As said, I'll toast him though.

A different kind of pasty
If we have to stick by the minutes applause during the game, why not at least change it to the minute of his shirt number (can't for the life of me remember what it was). The 45th minute idea is ridiculous.

I disagree.
Applauding is not only about approval. It can also be about appreciation; a celebration of one's life - and that's clearly what this applause would be about.

No room for a proper respectful minute's silence for a former player before the game anymore? Presumably it would interfere with the gormless scarf twirling and Ring Of Fire bolleaux.
I am with you on this. It SHOULD be before kick-off but for whatever reason (and I would like Barber to explain it), the club seem to have ruled it out. If the club won't allow us to have our "first preference" then it should be held in the minute of his shirt number, and not at 45 minutes when the stands are already emptying out due to the magnetic pull of the pies.

They should have some clips of him playing shown on the big screens before the game

As part of his family , we have spoken to the club , it is difficult for the minutes applause to be done before kick off due to timings with sky tv and the match being shown live , however as the family , and especially the children will not be attending the game it is much better this way as , it will be shown live , a picture will be put on the screens and the family will be able to see and hear the applause,i hope everyone going can show the respect he deserves

Change my vote to before kickoff. Everybody is at the bar in the 45th minute
Thank you for the news. End of discussion folks, lets hope as many as possible can take part in this.

That's enough to end this discussion then.
Everyone should make the effort to be there for the 45th minute. Is a beer or pie really more important?

This. Let's face it sometime soon. It's simply CRETINOUS to expect people to just switch off from the game at an arbitrary given moment to pay homage to somebody a fair chunk of the attendance never even heard of. Or who we, with drink taken, in an exciting passage of play, completely forgot about.
Sake! Just stick it in the programme or hold a proper minute's silence before the game or don't do it at all. Anything else is just plain DUMB

If that's the wishes on the family then so be it, however for us not to be able to celebrate his life before the game due to Sky makes me horrified of what football has become

Whole thing's a MESS.
It is not ideal , but this way the family who live in Sussex and four children who will not be at the game , are able to see the fans showing respect ,Paul has a lot of family in Ireland , who again will not be at the game and will really appreciate seeing the fans showing there respects , if the game was not on Sky , there would not be these problems but also on a positive side , the tribute would not be seen by his family , and also many friends that have come in contact with Paul over the many years .
