Born In The 80s Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Anyone know if there will be a minutes silence on Saturday? Could be one of the strangest 'periods of respect' ever...
Ohio Saint Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 No chance. They would have the sense to realise that it would never be honoured.
doubleonothing Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Dave Whelan wants one before Wigan's game but clubs are not being asked to by the FA or the Premier League @BenSmithBBC: Dave Whelan tells @BBCSport there should be a minute's silence for Thatcher before Wigan's #FACup semi http://t.co/J2Wyn0zB2j

Hedgehog Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Perhaps a minutes applause in appreciation..... hopefully that will be a minutes silence (if you get my drift).
aintforever Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Thatcher f*cking hated football fans, couldn't think of anything less appropriate.
Appy Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 From how she seemed to throw the book and blame football fans i.e Hillsborough, i really hope we don't.
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Bloody tories, can't stand them and couldn't stand Thatcher. She was an awful woman and brought so much hardship upon many working class people and hid the truth from the families of the Hillsborough victims. I certainly wouldn't honour it, if we did have one of Saturday.
Jimmy_D Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22078110 Nothing planned.
aintforever Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 I expect the scousers will have something planned...
Sour Mash Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Bloody tories, can't stand them and couldn't stand Thatcher.

I certainly wouldn't honour it, if we did have one of Saturday. While I can appreciate why some were not fans of her tenure as PM, it's a bit sad that you wouldn't be able to honour a minute's silence, regardless of who it is for.
marc_saint Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Is this for Ben Thatcher? A minutes applause for "that foul" on Mendes would be well worth having!
Joesaint Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Not sure it is needed, she did sort out the country, but was quite brutal. If you have 1 min silence which is ruined, its not that good. Politics should not quite be the popularity contest that it is today, politics is so fake I hate it. (PS, Everyone understands she had a positive impact on the economy, as well as defeating the unions, hence why most political parties are center. Maybe thats the greatest respect. She did make mistakes, but she was great on Europe, thank **** we are not in the Euro!!! I do not want to be part of a Federal Europe, no no no!! ha ha RIP

I certainly wouldn't honour it, if we did have one of Saturday. Unions brough the hardship by going on strike all the time, hardship on all!! Why was she the longest serving PM? Did she personally hide the truth? PS, For what its worth I hate it when a political trys to buy votes with tax payes money, and putting all of us in dept. But thats just me.
bridge too far Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 There's got to be a limit to the number of 'minute's silences' we are asked to observe. There won't be time to play football soon!
shurlock Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Is this for Ben Thatcher? A minutes applause for "that foul" on Mendes would be well worth having! once again in all its glory.
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Thatcher f*cking hated football fans, couldn't think of anything less appropriate. This 100%.

manji Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 I hope they try . I think the likes of the BBC etc might get a surprise at the reaction.
OLDER BUT WISER Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Just let me know in advance and I can stay away until kick off as do not want to get arrested.
UpweySaint Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 While I can appreciate why some were not fans of her tenure as PM, it's a bit sad that you wouldn't be able to honour a minute's silence, regardless of who it is for. Nobody is advocating crashing her funeral with a marching band but plenty might not want to be seen to be happy to nod along paying respects to her after what she did.
Sour Mash Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Osama Bin Laden ? Must have missed him being elected 3 times as our PM.
Wiggles31 Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Given the division of opinion it would be foolish for a minutes silence. I would not want to take part whatsoever. Sod her.

As opposed to trying to buy votes with tax cuts, cheap shares in undervalued privatised state monopolies, and cheap council houses? Minutes silence? Wonder how many Wiganers agreed with that prat.
BallBoy Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 A very silly idea for anyone except a sports person.
rooney Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Dave Whelan wants one before Wigan's game but clubs are not being asked to by the FA or the Premier League @BenSmithBBC: Dave Whelan tells @BBCSport there should be a minute's silence for Thatcher before Wigan's #FACup semi http://t.co/J2Wyn0zB2j Whelan would say that. He is always in the front row at the Tory Part Conference.
IOWSaintDaz Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 If there is a song to be sung it should be this
corky morris Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Never forget what she did to those fans at Hillsbrough!! She was an evil woman!
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 While I can appreciate why some were not fans of her tenure as PM, it's a bit sad that you wouldn't be able to honour a minute's silence, regardless of who it is for. Like she respected the fans that died at Hillsborough you mean?
Joesaint Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 As opposed to trying to buy votes with tax cuts, cheap shares in undervalued privatised state monopolies, and cheap council houses? Minutes silence? Wonder how many Wiganers agreed with that prat. That was not buying votes, that was encouraging people to work, it was also designed to put trust into the business, they can then be made more profitable and successfull, or if running at a loss, take the burden off the taxpayer. Even Labour understand it was required, and will say so now. She changed politics forever, although, like I said, she was brutal. No other polition would of had the guts to stand up to the unions though, who were socialist, and were becoming too powerfull. She is the longest serving PM, as well as only woman PM of the country. I do NOT agree with a minutes silence (as said before) as I don't think it is appropriate.

Fan The Flames Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Must have missed him being elected 3 times as our PM. Must have missed the bit where you qualified 'regardless of who they are'.
doubleonothing Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 And another chairman wades in @NabilHassan79: #readingfc chairman Sir John Madejski want football to mark the death of Baroness Thatcher with a one-minute silence: http://t.co/CCCeX3ZsJy
Hatch Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 how we will tell if the Kingsland are having a minutes silence or not!
View From The Top Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Reading are playing Liverpool. Good luck getting a minutes silence at that!

Dr Who? Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Reading are playing Liverpool. Good luck getting a minutes silence at that! No problem for the reading fans lol. Liverpool will be still having a party.
Scudamore Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Never forget what she did to those fans at Hillsbrough!! She was an evil woman! Was she at the back pushing?
saintquin Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 Why? This should only be for people involved in your club or has done something special in football!
Saints Warrior Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 No Thanks. What a terrible idea. We may be celebrating Pompey going down though
