GeneralRam Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 We didn't think it was silly to be doing it for Bloomfield yet some people wave this away like it's gone too far? Bloomfield has a connection to the club though so you can understand that the fans were showing their support to him. Sad news but don't understand why the parents would want it to be honest, I would have no interest in football or 30k strangers clapping for a minute but each to their own I guess. Exactly. I just see it as the parents gasping for attention. My dogs getting old and don't think he will be around in a couple of years time, when he finally goes I will not certainly posting a ton of messages on Twitter to get a ton of people who have no connection to me or him to do a bloody clap.

Fair enough you not agreeing with the thought of it, each to there own, and I wouldn't personally want it to happen if god forbid any of my children passed on. But your original post is very distasteful and making it out to be a trivial thing. And to say the parents are after the attention?! Just my opinion of course, feel free to rip my thoughts apart on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion of course, feel free to rip my thoughts apart on this I don't understand why we should be clapping for someone who has no connection to the club what so ever. If the parents were doing for charity charity etc I'd gladly give - like when that Leicester fan was cycling to every away match last season. As I've said - it's a tragic event I wouldn't want to wish upon anybody. But getting everyone to retweet "We lost our child, we want a minutes applause" isn't the right way (in my opinion) to go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Got a baby due in 2 weeks. If something was to go wrong, which it won't, no amount of strangers clapping would help. Are we trying to make football depressing? Supposed to be a laugh and a bit stressful. Emotional but not quite like this. And people clapping on Saturday won't be remembering this tragic story. They'll be clapping because the guy next to them is. Is that what you want football to be about? Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 If we're going to be clapping recently deceased relatives of the teams supporters at every game then everyone would be stood banging their hands together for the entire 90 minutes.

Tricky1884 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I agree we have alot of stuff like this however, maybe this wasn't this time to bring it up no matter what you think of the monther or father or their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 What a bullsh*t thread this is, and I'm not talking about the OP. Clapping in memory of a fan's deceased daughter is the stupidest thing I've ever heard and just devalues minutes applause/silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 My life, if those feel so strongly about it don't do it! But to criticise someone for making some sort of effort. I didn't agree with the lad who was campaigning for the minutes applause, didn't mean I admired his effort for a cause he firmly believes in. Apologies to general ram for me coming over a bit aggressive. Felt I was calling you out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the Scottish blood in him. 3rd biggest club in Scotland apparently, Carlisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC_17 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm sorry but this child has absolutely nothing to do with football, Sheffield Wednesday or Derby County. Time and effort would be better used on running a marathon to raise money for a charity which helps with the reason his/she passed away. Not clapping at football match which seems to be done every week these days. yeah i'd prefer it to be done via marathon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't see the problem with it. Anything football connected happens before the match with a minutes silence/applause whatever. The fans can organise anything they want. They could have a funeral service in the Wednesday end if the supporters really wanted to... For those that don't care, don't clap. You're not forced to clap and if I was there I wouldn't as it has absolutely nothing to do with me or my time spent watching the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
