Applauding the simplest of headed back passes should be worth 10 bonus points.

If members of my 'Stoke family' get any kind of solace from this small gesture what's the fucking harm ? |

I wasn't aware of a minutes applause last night? I do kind see where the OP is coming from though. Although it's a really nice idea, it kind of loses its significance when it's every other match.

FFS does it really matter.
If it brings an ounce of comfort and pride to the bereaved that people are thinking of their lost ones then suck it up and enjoy...
Failing that STAY AT BLOODY HOME.....

Are you having a laugh? Are you seriously suggesting some fans should stay away from a FOOTBALL match because they deem clapping death annoying at the match? I don't know about you but I go to the game to watch football not for a remberance service, the club rightly so around Christmas/new year run a tribute before and at half time for stokies who we have loved and lost. So unless it really is a tragic situation like a young child then the clapping should be left until this remberance the club operate. |

What next, blast your horn at a funeral procession cuz they are driving too slow and making you late... Live and let live... If you don't want to clap, then don't, but if others deem it fit, then so be it... |

If you don't want to clap, then don't, but if others deem it fit, then so be it... Yesterday for example. Was on the 80 odd minute started with a small ripple of applause. Then Grant made a save which rightly so got a round of applause then everybody got confused, it lasted for about 3 minutes with nobody having a clue as to why they were clapping...which resulted and a very half arsed "gooarn" afterwards. It is a nice gesture when tragic circumstances. I clapped (and got somewhat choked up) last week for little Stanley. Awful circumstances led to that little boys passing. I did this not because of any social media campaign from fan pages or the media but because I saw a message from the family and I chose to do so because I wanted to not because I was asked to by the sentinel I don't know what last night was for... With it being so late on in the game, I would guess it was for somebody of 84/85 which for the family is probably heartbreaking but it's a relatively good innings that is. I would imagine that every week, a stoke football fan of most ages between 1 and 90 would unfortunately pass. You rarely see other teams doing it unless it's for a player. It just seems as though at Stoke it is every week. If I had lost a loved won this week who was 50 years old. I perhaps would have felt an unfairness last night that my loved one wasn't remembered because I hadn't asked SLP or TBP to share a post. One time a season to remember all is a lovely gesture by the club and the Stoke fan pages should support that IMO |

Truth is the club do have a memorial at the turn of the year when we can pay our respects to every lost Stokie, so why do we applaud during a game for some and not for everyone? Is it not disrespectful to all those other families who don't start media campaigns but are grieving their own loss just the same. |

It's only become 'a thing' of recent seasons.
Everyone of us will go through tragedy, heart break and losing loved ones. And sometimes losing loved ones who are Stokies.
However, there is a time and a place for the applauding and memory. And it's at the last home game of the year where every single Stokie who the club are made aware of who's passed away will be put up on the big screen.
Although I sympathise massively and do understand why people want to clap on a certain minute which represents that person... I think it's gone abit overboard now and someone needs to reign it back a tad.

They don't bother me but each to their own, if a family puts out a message requesting a clap on x minute then i'll join in, a small gesture like that can go a long way for some people. |

only on here could people bloody complain about the dead being remembered because it effects their.....well, fuck knows why it bothers them actually, as yet no-one's even explained why it's an issue.
If someone i knew had died but i didn't inform anyone about it, then i wouldn't be offended if someone else WAS remembered that game because they HAD let people know because i realise that people aren't psychic and it's down to me to let people know!
I also don't see how anyone can arbitrarily decide it lessens the significance. Shouldn't we leave that up to the family members who requested it for that game to decide that themselves? If they though that, then surely they'd never have asked for it to be done in the first place?
Does it actually cause anyone a real issue and if so, in what way? genuinely struggling to understand it myself.
Amazing how people complain about this, yet were more than happy to spend months singing about Muniesa every fucking game even though he wasn't even on the pitch.

It's been complained about before on here and Twitter so that a bit dramatic. I guess it's a continuation of what I call scouseitis. Peoples morbid fascination with death and celebrating it. It used to be just them (and I'm talking generally) and JoeInOz, now death seems like a national fascination. |

Amazing how people complain about this, yet were more than happy to spend months singing about Muniesa every fucking game even though he wasn't even on the pitch. It just shouldn't even be a 'thing', Mick. The home game after Christmas is good enough for everyone else, why do a handful of people have to feel like they're celebreties that everyone cares about & get thousands of strangers 'clapping' for someone they don't know who died? What if it's someone who is 27 years old who died but in the 27th minute the referee gives the opposition a bullshit penalty? Are we all okay to jump up & shout "Oi you fucking wanker! Boooooo!" Or do we have to sit there & clap for someone we don't know instead? If we are allowed to give the ref/oppo shit, do we then have to move the clapping untill after the incident has passed? I mean, the last person who died got a full clap on their minute, it's unfair that this person didn't get their full clap. What if the person who we're clapping for is 'Dan, 19 from Bentilee', and his sister has spammed Facebook with what a lovely lad he was, life & soul of every party, loved Stoke City... Aww, it's all so nice, I'll clap for him, what a shame.... Turns out Dan has never been a Stoke match in his life, he used to rob old women of their pension to feed his smack habit, and would go home everynight & knock ten bells of shit out of his wench.... But of course we don't know any of this, we just hear from his sister what a stand up guy he was & we're all supposed to clap for him. It's all a load of shit to me. No fucker ever says "Dan used to love buying bread from Tesco, so can anyone going to the bread aisle in Tesco today please clap for him".... We had one, I think it was last season, maybe the season before, where everyone was clapping at some match for some fella who'd died about six months earlier! I mean come on! Really?! A minutes applause before kick-off for some (ex-)player/manager/important figure at the club, yes, by all means do that. For some random person who just (maybe) happened to be a Stoke fan? Nah, if it means that much to have it done at a stoke match stick it on the big screen after Christmas like everyone else does. |

The minutes applause against Utd, for my Stanley, bought me and the family much comfort, and the support from the club and our captain who signed a shirt, and the fans, was incredible. Also the fact that his name was mentioned on 5Live commentary and on the international TV live commentary makes us all extremely proud and gave people the opportunity to hear his story and raise awareness for organ donation. This is just my personal experience mind, but that minute and the goal that followed immediately afterwards, will stay with me forever.

Can we get rid of those charity cunts at the bridge too? It's getting beyond a joke now.
Every fucking week I chuck a quid in the bucket for some cause or other.
I think I even adopted a child with muscular dystrophy before one home game but has the lazy schlepper turned up to carry out the menial household chores I assumed I was paying for? Has he fuck.
This country.
