We sang through the minute's silence

According to some United fans on a banter board :-/

********. There were one or two late arrivers carrying on conversations in the concourse presumably because they were unaware that the minute's silence had started but those in the stand were perfect as is always the case. I've never ever heard a minute's silence spoilt by Reds fans, ever.

 

I did exactly the same - the camera shutter click the phone makes could probably be heard 10 rows away.

 

This.

I actually shusshed a few late comers, but they weren't to know. They soon stood still, shut their gobs and observed the tribute impeccably.

 

We also elbowed Iain Hume in the head, booed him away at Preston for daring - the very nerve of him! - to have his head caved in, sued West Ham, employed a woman-beating car-thief, fought amongst ourselves at Wembley, said that we as a club are bigger than rape, had a Fenerbahce hooligan in a position of some significance at our club, and might yet sign a convicted rapist to represent us, and we'll sing his name over and over again.

Reight set of bar stewards, us.

 

Load of ****. Could hear a pin drop in away end.

 

Desperation. Have to try and get one over on us somehow

 

Total ballacks. Everyone in the the stands were in complete silence. Initially there was some noise coming from the concourse, from people who were not aware that a minute's silence was taking place. Word quickly spread (mostly in the form of shhh) and after about 15 or 20 seconds that noise went away too and you could hear a pin drop.

The ref actually had to delay the start of the minute's silence as when the Utd fans behind the goal put up the poppy it triggered a round of applause from the Barnsley end that spread throughout the ground.

Great tribute organised by Sheff Utd observed impeccably with complete respect from both sets of supporters.
