rosa Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wasn't the 23rd minute applause for the 23 years of effort from the justice campaign before they got an official apology? The time wasn't significant. They sing 'justice for the 96/stand up for the 96' and applaud at every game, but it's not at a specific time.

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 At the risk of repeating myself, Carragher's squad number was 23 (nobody has that number now), hence the tribute applause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The Liverpool fans I've spoken to don't seem to think that's what it was for. It seems very coincidental. Also in Carragher's last appearance for Liverpool, the only goal of the game was scored in the 23rd minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Indonesian fans have recreated 'Anfield' in Jakarta, apparently as you do, and they pay tribute to Carragher in the 23rd minute.http://www.thisisanfield.com/2013/07/indonesian-fans-bring-anfield-to-jakarta-in-spectacular-crowd-show/ Edited January 6, 2014 by Diego_Sideburns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelaticsfan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think the 2 accepted forms of respect are the applause and the silence, I believe so long as either is met the show of respect is the outcome and that's all that matters, playitlivo you don't realise how many times this sort of explanation happens!

Monty Burns Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Pisses me off when people clap something like this, especially when repeatedly told not to in the build up. Look at me look at me. Selfish prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Beforehand I wouldn't have agreed with Monty, I'd have said it was a mistake til I read a post on facebook by the person who started the clapping. You are right. "I'll do what I want, I have that right" was the overview of the post. So - If Waynes family were there (they could've been for all I know) they could have asked for the silence? I'm not to know, pretty sure the person in question wasn't to either. Or it very least the family will have been notified, I'm pretty sure they will have been - so it's ok that someone in a chicken hat has the right to do what they want is it? No, it's the families right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The family is usually consulted on these matters. He was 46 for fecks sake, so he probably died before his parents. Lets applaud that eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The family is usually consulted on these matters. He was 46 for fecks sake, so he probably died before his parents. Lets applaud that eh? I think his family would appreciate that no one was applauding any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The minutes applause is an abomination, it was invented to mask people who feel the need to voice their opinions during a silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) But Stevie - they may also not feel that it's a joyous occaision, they might appreciate the clapping. (We are not to know). We were asked to do something out of respect, someone decided "I have the right to respect in another way" - which wasn't asked for, probably at the consulatation of the family. The intentions of the individual were not respectful, the facebook post said everything. I disagree that the silence is an abomination. Someone of for example 90 who had a very good innings, will die. I think their life can be celebrated. It should always be up to the family / the person before they die.

Lags Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) My take. It was previously communicated that a minutes silence was to be observed at the Liverpool v Oldham match in respect to Wayne Harrison. The announcer on the pitch at the time, clearly stated he invited everyone to observe a minutes silence. That is what should have happened, not what one person wanted to do or even 1% of people wanted to do. In life and society we have rules. These are to avoid anarchy and selfish acts. Now I have no axe with a minutes applause, if that is the rule stated. Edited January 7, 2014 by Lags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It wasn't a minute applause sort of day. In effect it could have ruined the minutes silence. However, I found the applause strangely warm and positive. Yes he died young at 47, but I would hope his life was still worth an applause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 You should follow the request out of respect, on the assumption that those who knew him best chose the method. A guy behind me started clapping - a few of us pointed out it was supposed to be silence - he said he wanted to clap: "I want I want I want, and I don't care how it affects anyone else" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the fact Liverpool also announced the death of Eusabio had some effect on proceedings ? Edited January 17, 2014 by Zorrro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
