for once , i totally agreed with the game stopping and players applauding, 

[Tombo]

Pleasantly surprised to see that the game totally paused for the applause. Great gesture.

Quickly twigged the applause was starting, and a quick glance at the clock (showing 31 mins) confirmed my suspicions, thanks to @CBRammette's related post on here yesterday, so quickly stood to join the masses.
I soon noticed that play had stopped, and that players (of both sides) were joining in... as well as the benches and even the officials too.

The only thing I didn't notice was when/how the game stopped?
Was it an official signal from the ref? 
Was it a case of the ball going out of touch (or becoming dead due to a foul etc) by coincidence, and then a deliberate act to not immediately restart?

It matters not, of course... am merely curious.  🤷‍♂️

Either way, as already stated, it was most moving, and for want of a more appropriate phrase under such sad circumstances, rather magnificent.

I didn’t officially stop, the ball was back with Wildsmith (somehow), on the floor , and everyone just stopped playing.

Cheers.
Forgot to add... I didn't notice how the game recommenced either (thus adding to my curiosity), but I think that was due to having something in my eye!

 

👍🍻

It was a genuinely lovely moment that just seemed totally right - as you say very moving. I was surprised when I saw play had naturally stopped and officials and our opponents also clapping.

Derby players started clapping, Cambridge joined in, then the ref, nice gesture from all concerned, including the Cambridge fans.

Yes, just watched it, same as at our ground, the game stopped and was observed by fans, players and officials.
