I see no point whatsoever in holding a minutes applause tomorrow. Its an event completely unconnected with football - this desire to have football crowds show their respects to unrelated world events is puzzling.
The minutes silence held at the Amex on Remembrance weekend for James Brynin, the Albion fan tragically killed in service, was entirely justified (and beautifully and poignantly obvserved). There's a real connection there. But much as we all (well most) respect and admire Nelson Mandela and his extraordinairy life, surely anyone wishing to pay their respects to his passing will have done so in their own way. Why it apparently has to be publically observed and foisted onto all football fans who happen to be going to a match this weekend is beyond me.
