While we're on the subject of matchday experience ,and again not wishing to sound like an old curmudgeon, did we really have to have the minutes appluase at the start today .i'm chuffed to bits that fabrice looks like he's going to make a full recovery but found todays tribute a bit too over sentimental.

No kD thats how i genuinely felt .wtf ? That's a joke
My bad lolNo I meant its a joke having a minutes applause
Waste of money, time and effort.

Have to agree about the Muamba minutes appluase though. I sincerely hope he makes a full recovery but I have never seen that sort of tribute given to somebody who is alive. Completely over the top.
Over the top?
The bloke died, but by some miracle work by some amazing doctors he's still here. Any little piece of hope / support being shown to him is going to be a massive help to him whilst he's still in hospital and continues the rest of his rehabilitation.
If you can't bring your hands together for 60 seconds of your life to "help" someone in their recovery then that's just sad imo.
A little story:
My old man had cancer years ago. In my head when he told me (I was 12) that he was ill I thought I'd lost him. The MacMillan nurses that supported me, the rest of my family soon put that thought out of my mind with positive stories about other patients they had looked after.
So my point:
That little bit of positivity has a MASSIVE influence on the bearing of how someone deals with a situation. Muamba sat there seeing hundreds of thousands of people showing him a little bit of support must help, mustn't it? But nah, it was over the top......
Did I say I didn't join in? Of course I joined in, but I still think it was over the top.
Where does it end? Do you start giving a minutes applause to somebody like Aron Ramsay after he had that bad leg break because nobody knew at the time whether his career had ended? Did we have a minutes applause for John Hartson when he announced he had cancer? Before you know it we'll be having a minutes applause before every game at which point surely it becomes meaningless?
But yet I am sure that we applauded Busst when it was seen that he could walk again? Maybe it's because it wasn't one of our lads?

Exactly! A minutes applause at Bolton and even at Spurs was perfectly expected and acceptable. The others tbh I can understand at former teams (Arsenal and Blues) everything else is conforming to what people thisnk is the right thing to do. Christ our idiots had to be told to do a silence after rememberance day (when we were teh only team in the FL who hadn't already done so) and as I said last week on a similar topic there was no mention of the people I can relate more with like the six servicemen who died in Afghanistan. Tbh the more often these thkngs are done, the more they seem diluted.
