Applaud as normal when he smashes the ball in the net.

Couldn't agree more.

Also get fed up with people sharing crap stories that aren't true and they can't be arsed to check.
We are giving away a million iPhones that can't be sold....

Click here for the chance to win a Winnebago, we are giving 3000 away as they were display models and can't be sold....

Click here for a free £250 tesco voucher....

I like the one 'If you get an email from xxxx xxxxxx, Do NOT open it. It will burn away your hard drive, your whole PC, your cat, your dog and your house.'

Sorry but this has to stop. Shoreham, Rembrance Day are different but this constant applauding of folk I do know is not for me. I am 75 so presumably wil pop my clogs sooner rather than later. The last thing I would want is my family to suggest my ugly mug appears on the big screens and you lot have to clap for a minute. It's a football Match not a flipping church . It's never been the same since Diana hysteria.

Do tend to agree. The programme has a page dedicated to this ort of thing, and rightly so, and this is probably where it should stop, unless it is genuinely exceptional, and the two examples you give would surely be such.

No totally no. He had our respect at Bristol. That's it.

Friday night is a football match not a constant sycophantics dream.

Why don't we just show our usual adulation of his many talents ? I'm sure he'd appreciate that like he always does.

The minutes applause idea is in danger of losing its meaning now.

What happens when one of these things coincides with something happening on the pitch?

Surely the respect to AK's father, was the attendance of several Albion players + CH, at his funeral.
As the Albion staff are representatives of the club and the fans, I thought this was a grand gesture anyway.
We can all give our individual respect by cheering on AK. :)

I think that commemorating someone’s death by robotically applauding their image for a minute looks appallingly inappopriate, and crass in the extreme. Silence is far more powerful and moving – but it needs to be used at football matches very, very sparingly*. Absolute club legends only - anyone else of note goes in the programme.

*And cetainly not for that poor, beheaded scouser, Ken Bigley - as happened at Withdean, back in 2004.
