I would personally rather there be a week off, this is a great deal to take in, for me there will be too much passion on the day, the players minds will have a different focus which can be dangerous in our great game. I would hope that at sometime in the future we could get away from a mins silence and go for a mins applause. Reading up on the lad he sounds the life and soul of the party, I for one would rather us show our appreciation for playing the game rather than the silence as all too often the silences are spoiled by the one or 2 idiots.

After the imbeciles disrespecting the Watene minutes silence I would agree with BC. A minute’s applause would drown out crass comments uttered when everyone else is quiet. It also avoids escalation with the people confronting the idiots who can’t keep their hold shut.

It is extremely difficult to hold your tongue when the idiots do this, one day someone will make one of those crass comments whilst stood next to the wrong person and hell could break loose.

This happened at Knowlsey Road earlier this season. I waited for the silence to end before apprehending the culprits with a clip round the back of the head and telling them to get out of my sight and learn to show some respect.

I would not think twice about doing it to someone on Friday if needed.

I, for one, am glad the game will be going ahead. What more fitting tribute to a lad who obviously loved the game enough to play at that level while working, than playing the game he loved (and through gritted teeth) and honouring him with a win.
