    Don't know if it's just me but it seems really tacky, a bit americanised and above all lacking dignity

    What's wrong with a minutes silence?

    Instead of mourning the death they're celebrating the life.

    It's easy for the idiots to spoil a moments silence.

    Blame the idiots who refuse to remain silent

    One example been the scum fans down at Bell-end Road when George Best died.

    I think a minutes silence is an excellent mark of respect, however certain sets of people just can't help themselves.

    "WHAT'S UP ??? SOMEBODY DIED??!"

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Not sure where it originates.

    But I know the Italians have been doing it for years. Not sure which I prefer, but as others have already stated, at least applause can drown out the idiots.

    Agree with you there. I much prefer a minute silence and think it's more dignified.

    It's so all the knob-heads can't boo or chant whilst 'observing' a minutes silence.

    I think it originated in Italy.

    In America they have a "moment's silence", and it really is just a moment - went to a NFL game just after the attack on USS Cole in 2000, and they announced a moments silence....I've known longer silences in a conversation!

    And when Charlie Williams died

    "HALF-TIME DRAW". It was quite funny though, and given the person it was quite appropriate.
