Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted December 3, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 3, 2021 Bad news for you all. I'm going and we always win here when I don't go and never do when I do. Think it's a both teams to score banker. We're scoring plenty with 9 in our last 3 (albeit against pretty tame opposition), Maddison flying again, but we're laughably easy to score against.

LFCMike 3,009 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I don't really get having a minutes applause for something as tragic as that to be honest. Same with the Ava White one in the derby on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall around the time of the change (2008ish?) that silences erupted into applause to drown out drunks or singing. Now it is the default position.

I get applause for a club legend who has passed away at an old age and that you could get people disrupting a silence whoever the opposition is. Surely no one is going to disrupt a silence for a kid who was murdered though? They still have silence around 11th November at football grounds if I'm not mistaken?

The only one left, usually marred by cries of "shut up" and "shhhhh". They should do a silence for this poor lad though I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno there’s some absolute dickheads out there, get alcohol involved and who knows I bet at least 2% of the crowd would do something idiotic. I think it’s better for showing solidarity with the family of the poor kid to not have it in silence, so a small minority doesn’t fuck it up.

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 On the applause thing, yes, took me a bit of adapting to, but when it's a former footballer, there seems a nice touch to it. Probably for the relatives. Seeing 1 last crowd appreciation for whoever it is. That can't be rained on by a few loons. It somehow does feel odd in a tragedy type thing. And suited more to a solemn moments silence. But whatever the situation, the chances are someone somewhere would feel inclined. Most idiots do love their country, perhaps to excess, so if not a national pride thing, all loons will have the option to decide they don't get it, like it, want to make a loopy point of some kind. And I guess nobody actually effected would want that all over news headlines or back pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 The first time I saw us do an applause was for Malcolm Allison in 2011. The only reason we did was because we were playing Millwall who absolutely 100% would have ruined it. Instead them chanting and banging seats kind of added to the moment as we out sang them whilst applauding with a rendition of the Malcolm Allison chant we had from the 70's. Ever since them i've always been in favour of them. There's just too many unfortunate things that can happen with a one minute silence. Too many have been ruined by stewards being unaware, people in the bar area unaware, people coming in to the ground unaware etc. I remember two years ago we were playing Newcastle United on Remembrance Sunday weekend and when we were having the minute's silence before kick off the away end speakers were blurting out DaRude Sandstorm. It was really embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted December 5, 2021 KDH expectedly in for Soumare. Daka in for Vardy - presumably Vardy being saved for Napoli on Thursday which is sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted December 5, 2021 Turns out it's the correct decision by the letter of the law, taken from Twitter Still glosses over some very shoddy defending. Seems to be the norm these days sadly. Playing well otherwise and based on the chances reckon we should be ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
