The_Kincardine Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Just now, Hawkeye the Gnu said: It does't matter if it was a 'small minority' or 'the entire support',or what the silence is for, it's f*cking wrong. It was done to pander to the supporters of one team and was tokenism writ large. Well done the Hearts fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done the Hearts fans. Absolute shite. Regardless of what religion he was, he was someone who many people (not me btw) had great affection for. I strongly feel the decision to have that minute's silence was stupid because it was always going to be abused by some and therefor was ruined for others. It could and should have been marked in some other way at some other more appropriate time. Absolutely no excuse for booing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Booing any minutes silence is idiotic behaviour, not hard to keep your mouth shut and not be disrespectful even if you don't agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin McCann Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 17 minutes ago, MariusZaliukas said: Entire Hearts support? Hardly, it was me and about 20 guys around me. They lie and make things up it's what they do. The disgraceful Mark Walters banana throwing at Tynecastle is often brought up but the fact it happened at Parkhead previously has been swept under the carpet. John Wilsons attempted assault on Neil Lennon is often brought up but a quick google search brings up many examples of Celtic fans on the pitch attacking opposition players, brushed under the carpet. It was a small group who disrupted the minutes silence for the pope but that doesn't fit their lying and making things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the first bit - absolutely absurd to call for such a gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tackle Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 1 hour ago, Your Humble Narrator said: Hearts fans at Hampden 2005 clearly not disrupting a minutes silence. The booing and seethe from the Celtic fans is pretty pleasing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 John Paul II was an awful Pope and a terrible human being. He beatified hundreds of Fascists, covered up child abuse and contributed to the spread of HIV in the Third World.I quite like the current Pope, he seems to be quite progressive... or at least as progressive as the leader of a global religion can be.I generally don't see the point in minute silences for foreign heads of state unless they are revered Worldwide (Mandela) or die in tragic circumstances. Which has me wondering... did British clubs observe a silence for JFK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was absolutely nothing to do with religion and all to do with one-upmanship and was shameful. BTW I also held him in esteem. We also have way too many of these silences and/or applauds.

Falcor Roar Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If you pass up the opportunity to goad Celtic fans then you're basically a shit football supporter. The virgin leader of the sky fairies died. Boo fuckinghoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
