Can you really see this working?

I take it you've seen the forum and thread i'm on about.

I think so mate but I haven't looked at the picture you mention. Got a couple of pages through it and couldn't stomach anymore.

Not sure what to think of this tbh. Seems a bit of a farce really.

If they did it as a minutes silence, and audible booing and chanting was heard, think it would bring shame and scorn on the fans, or would it get brushed under the carpet???

Doing it as applause (as is the custom in Italy i believe, and seems to be catching on here?) would mask any dissent, but it seems odd to applaud those who died in vain?

I'd rather they done **** all and left us to it to be honest. The applause is an absolute disgrace, a 10 year old died, loads of 14 year olds, what the **** would they be applauding, their life? They didnt get to have one!

It seems a bit of an empty gesture really, I'm sure it would be respected by the majority but it's open to abuse.

I don't think a minute's applause is remotely appropriate.

Totally agree.

A no win situation to be honest, which would be best left alone.

You just can't do a minute's applause were this is concerned.

Completely agree, totally inappropriate. They wouldn't honour a minute's silence so they shouldn't bother.

This strikes me as such a bad idea that only the FA could think of it. What are they trying to achieve?
