    Chelsea and Wembley looking into finding those who didnt observe the silence. Im not condoning what they did but what law did they break? Banning or prosecuting someone for this surely isnt on, what happened to freedom of speach?

    Probably argue it's a public order offence. I think freedom of speech is stretching it a bit.

    Football grounds are private property and right of access is at the discretion of the owners. So the said owners can ban who they like really unless it is discrimination

    If you dont agree with something you have the right to put your view accross, as long as they didnt chant anything offensive and just booed/whistled i dont see the big issue. If people can get arrested and charged for not observing a silence they dont believe should be happening then a lot of people will be charged when thatcher dies.

    It's about responsibility for your actions. Again people trot out the whole "freedom of speech" thing. Firstly there is no such law anyway. Secondly, they can be free to boo during a minutes silence, however the consequences of such is that they are deemed not to be acceptable inside a football ground.
    Same if a newspaper sacks a columnist for something they write, nobody is saying that the columnist isn't allowed to say something, just that the newspaper are entitled to use their freedom and say they won't give them a platform to say that.

    It's about respect. I will always remain silent during a minutes silence, my showing of respect for the person though is if I stand up for the silence, or remain seated.

    Only if the authorities are stupid enough to ask for a minutes silence when she dies! A minutes applause would be better!

    What if you didnt respect the decision for a minutes silence, how could you put those views across?

    i'm a believer in you're always the victim its never your fault with the liverpool fans. BUT i would observe a minutes silence for thr the poor footy supporters that sadly died that day, if you dont want to observe the silence then just stay seated or turn your back to the pitch and think porno thoughts. do liverpool play on the heysal anniversary, rangers on their disaster, bradford on their fire, man utd on munich

    Can someone inform me what happened yesterday? I saw the game but missed the first few minutes, id not heard anything regarding the minutes silence being interrupted by anyone.

    From reading the posts on this thread it appears there were individuals who didn't observe the minutes silence but how can they be in trouble for this? What criminal/civil offence does this contravene then?
