Thought this was Gaschat not TEDTALK This is a very good point, but when observations change at any ground (bcfc or otherwise) it's Interesting to hear about and discuss.... <iframe width="22.960000000000036" height="2.8799999999999955" style="position: absolute; width: 22.960000000000036px; height: 2.8799999999999955px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_95648154" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="22.960000000000036" height="2.8799999999999955" style="position: absolute; width: 22.96px; height: 2.88px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1089px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_51438552" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="22.960000000000036" height="2.8799999999999955" style="position: absolute; width: 22.96px; height: 2.88px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 85px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_30370345" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="22.960000000000036" height="2.8799999999999955" style="position: absolute; width: 22.96px; height: 2.88px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1089px; top: 85px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_97221552" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Don't know what they are moaning about, there are a lot of seriously big clubs in that league and holding there own should be considered as success for them, but of course they are under the illusion that they are a 'massive 'club , just get real and accept your place in the pyramid and stop having these delusions of grandeur, once you can accept that then you will realize your doing OK! and things could be a lot worse!and by the way 'remembrance'w/end is commemorated with a silence, the clue is in the wording!!

Showing respect is showing respect. No one gets to police how someone feels they should show respect for something. A spontaneous round of applause feels pretty respectful to me. It can be in the appropriate circumstances but a minutes silence was requested in the time honoured fashion. It's not a case of individual freedom to express our feelings in the manner we feel each feel inclined. What next then, Led Zeppelin or ZZ Top at the Cenotaph tomorrow? Not to worry, the clapping was followed by 90 minutes of silence 😂

The same thing happened at ashton gate, well not quite, after a few seconds they all started clapping. They all started with the clap. Diseased filthy scum.

'Such a promising young manager'!
Five and a half years as a manager. No cups, no play-off places, no promotions.

Sadly yes, they're talking about it on OTIB. Some are even quite happy about it. Thankfully the majority are embarrassed they got it so seriously wrong. I applaud your original post Kev and am quite shocked that they applauded when a minute's silence for a long standing tradition is something I would expect is obvious to all but the most idiotic in society. Oh hang on though, I fully understand it knowing who would be in attendance at Ashton Gate! The least I would expect is an immediate appology from the powers that be at Ashton Gate and a substantial donation to the British legion from Mr Lansdown.

Clap through the remembrance minutes silence Sit silently through their teams match Boo at the end. Sums them up.

As much as I hate City. Moaning about them clapping instead of being silent for remembrance is nit picking and pathetic.

When I asked on Friday a sh#thead at work about the home game he said he wasn't going (even though a season ticket holder) because gets this, he is fed up of LJ being in charge, he said they are playing fantastic attractive football but cannot put it in the back of the net and he's got to go, how damn fickle is he and are they, saying that some of our fans are like that. Just remember, we are a class above them not below, through thick and thin we get behind our players and manager, not slag them off when things don't quite go to plan, like that lot over the dark side.

It's a yoyo ride on OTIB.
When LJ wins a few games, it's: "Get ready for Man U next season" and "Shame on you doubters".
When he then loses a lot, it's: "Get him out now or we'll be playing the Sags next season" and "Shame on you rose tinters".
Bit like on here, really.

When did Johnson say they would be playing in Europe..? There’s a good ferry service to France from Poole. I’m sure they could book a Christmas trip.😉 UTG!

I'm with ghb on this.... It's a silence innit.... Of course it is. Blimey how hard is it, for the last 60/70/80 years the ref has blown a whistle people stand in silence and thank god that they haven’t lost their lives in a war and pay respect to those who did. Then he blows it again and the silence ends. How hard is that? You clap in thanks for the life and contribution of (usually) football people. There’s a difference, obviously a bit too much for some people to grasp. UTG!

It’s not because it’s the sh** It’s because it’s weird. It doesn’t surprise me though, they’re not all that bright are they.

If your remembering somebody who’s moved on that did something great for your club like a top player or life long fan then clapping for a minute is appropriate. If your remembering that millions died in a horrendous war then clapping is not. Can’t see how anyone could think it is. For what it’s worth I don’t think they did it to be deliberately disrespectful I think it probably happened because they’re stupid.

I watched the game on ifollow today. TBH it was a carbon copy of most of our season. The ideological thinking constant changing of the team not looking like scoring. Diedhiou looking like Payne. Sideways, backwards passing, the type of performance which would drive any football fan into despair. Johnson got slagged off exactly like DC did, except there is more of them than us. Just remember though the negative fans shout louder and doesn't give a true reflection as we saw by the poll on here. Empty vessels....I can't see the difference really and I know that's not what people want to hear.

Simpletons fail to follow simple instructions, no shock really, doubtless they had good intentions so no harm in it. OP trying to correlate the actions of a dimwitted pet of a billionaire with those of the bloke who dragged our club up from the duldrums is hilarious, however.
