Minute Silence

[Truered]

Liverpool are going to hold a minute silence before the Boro game tomorrow in honour of the legend Emlyn Hughes.

Followed by "The Mighty Quinn"

Liverpool are going to hold a minute silence before the Boro game tomorrow in honour of the legend Emlyn Hughes.

A minutes silence for a legend followed by another 90 minute silence if Saturday's atmosphere was anything to go by.

I blame the paddock....

A million threads on this, but this is the oldest I could find. 

 

I dug it up because apparently all the third-round FA Cup ties are being delayed for "mental health awareness". 

 

What a load of old SHITTTT. Not mental health awareness. Being dictated to by (presumably) the FA for what is, or is not, worthy of such recognition. Which cause is sufficiently deserving? More importantly, which cause ISN'T sufficiently deserving? Who decides, and why? Fucking bollocks, that's what it is. 

 

I need convincing that ANYTHING demands a minute's (or, worse, two. What next three? Five?) silence. Or, come to that, applause, or any other shit someone cares to invent if they haven't already.

 

And yes, of course Hillsborough is a strong case.

A minutes silence from Robbie Savage witterings is to be welcomed

But they've made a special film featuring one of the Windsors.  (Can't remember if it's Charles's lad or the major's bastard.)

 

If that doesn't convince you that it's worthy, I don't know what will.

Fully agree. It will be a mass ego trip for those saying they participate in it rather than those who actually need the help benefiting from such things.

Too much cynicism in this thread- the FA's eradicated racism and homophobia already, so it should be a doddle to cure everyone's mental health issues.

They are thinking of doing 90 minutes of silence for the deaf.

Good to see Man City have been fully participating in this worthy initiative for years.

I’m sure I read or heard that the plan Prince William had was for everyone in the crowd to spend the minute talking to the person next to them about their feelings.
 

Be like standing next to me if I’ve been on  the gin

So the person next to you gets to moan about stuff that's nothing to do with football. 

 

What a refreshing change that will be in the Lower Kenny.

Imagine that, if the derby had mixed seating. One full minute of Everton bile since most of their feelings revolve around hatred for the RS.

[Dr Nowt]

Minute silence? Is that where Guardiola doesn’t say anything for a while, or what?

Be funny if you said that to someone at the match, after they told you that they were depressed.

In all seriousness men’s mental health is a big issue these days, it’s why so many medicate through alcohol or coke. Tony Soprano’s rant was later in the series proven to be a defence mechanism, a macho front to distract from a deep depression and suicidal thoughts.

I hear what the OP says re the FA, but if this helps someone talk to someone and get help I’d say it’s worth it.

[Lee909]

You really think I'm being fucking serious. 

 

 

Instead of giving a minutes silence to highlight it, or the Royals idea of just talking to a stranger how about they actually put some funding in place or pressured the government to do so

I wasn’t sure, it’s hard to tell the sarcastic tone of a video on the internet

You should gave seen his reaction when someone suggested two minutes.

I'm assuming by "OP" you mean me? Whether it "helps someone talk to someone" really is not my point. It's why mental health? Why now? Why ever? Why ever anything? I don't want to be dictated to about what I should or shouldn't be considering, and certainly not by the fucking FA. And I want to know on what basis they're deciding which are "acceptable" and, more relevantly, what are "unacceptable" causes? And why in these matches? And why in football? I don't even want to be dictated to by Liverpool fucking FC.

 

They can all stick their minute's and minutes' silences and applauses up their fucking arse and arses. I really find it more than a little demeaning.
