63rd minute applause for Patrick Knockaert

[Herr Tubthumper]

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

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

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....

It's the 75 anniversary of the founding of Lidl so we are giving away free £150 vouchers....

GAH!

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.'

 

[Marshy]

This is not a good idea.

 

[LlcoolJ]

I blame Farage.

 

[BN9 BHA]

So AK dad, the palace tram victims and this young villa lad ? Is there anymore we can add in

Don't forget to applaud the away attendance

 

[Hastings gull]

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.

 

[LamieRobertson]

This is getting silly.

Knockaert just wants to play his game. Let's just let him get on with it, eh?

Sums it up nicely...do we really want his mind to be anywhere else but on the footy?

 

[Aveacarlin']

My Albion mug got broken at work last week, had it 22 months, please can we do a round of applause on 22 mins?

I chuckled at this

I think it needs to be said, on reflection, that the OP was only trying to do a good thing.

It may be misguided but all the same.

When the 2 minute silence replaced the 1 minute silence, our grief became a product to sell.

You mean the two minute silence that has been in place since November 1919 on Royal decree from King George V?

 

[Giraffe]

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

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

 

[AK74]

Christ.

 

[Invicta]

I'm out

 

[Eeyore]

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.

 

[Pevenseagull]

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

 

[AmexRuislip]

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.

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

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.

Generation snowflake innit

Yup, this. Maybe instead of a minute's applause they could do a minute's fannying around with the light on their phones, while the rest of us sing up and get on with following the game.
