The minutes silence for Hillsbrough Disaster

[Harry's Game]

I have just been scanning through the forums and come across a suggestion on a thread on Bladesmad that some people are intending to disrupt the minutes silence at Wembley with the "Always the Victims" chant.

Now if anyone knows who these horrible cunts are that are planing to do this then please do everything in your power to stop them, the last thing we need is that sort of bad publicity, anyone who disrupts a minutes silence for anyone is scum.

 

[TarquinDelouche]

This is why a minute's applause is far better. A minute's silence is basically a free stage for anyone with a loud enough voice and big enough desire to prove their cuntishness to the world.

 

[Superblades]

Really hope this doesn't happen, some really thick people about!

 

[Pedro Verde]

Weve always respected silences etc before cant see why it should be any different this time
Who is actually suggesting doing this ? someone from Bladesmad or somebody else who knows somebody else thats thinking of doing it ?

 

[zablade]

I started the thread on BM asking that even though some may be tanked up I am hoping that it does not mean some drunken pricks would disrupt the minutes silence.

I think it was Scunny who said he has heard some people, and I use the word people in its loosest possible sense, were planning the "always the victims" chant

 

[fortuna93]

Let's hope those delightful creatures are too tanked up to get into the ground. Let's not show ourselves up on such a big stage giving the FA more reasons to shit on us at every opportunity

 

[Bladesman]

What ever our opinions are on the disaster, I think it is always wrong to disrupt a minutes silence.

 

[blader]

Aren't being funny, but so many of the people trying to prevent this bad publicity, are also people who are happy to resign Ched Evans. I want my club to avoid negative publicity at all costs, there's a bit of hypocrisy in this IMO

Some people have made a case for For why Evans should be re-signed, I disagree with them, but I can understand the arguments they have made.

no comparison with knuckle draggers who want to disrupt a minutes silence.

By posting it or here as unintentional as it is you are giving the media a field day!

Many a journalist or media tipster trawl through football forums looking for non-starters to write stories about. It wouldn't surprise me if this has been picked up either on here or Bladesmad now and features in some national fish and chips wrapper.

Personally I think it is very much a non starter. If some small minority of scumbags want to attempt to disrupt the minutes silence I can only see this coming to a swift halt as a majority of Sheffield United fans are respectable human beings with hearts who feel for the poor souls who tragically lost their lives on that day 25 years ago along with the families and friends of these victims.

I will safely say that this will not happen, those stupid enough to even attempt it would have to accept the consequences from those around them.

True but the 'we don't want the negative publicity' argument then is redundant, as re-signing a rapist isn't going to look good either. It seems that because one benefits the team, they are willing to forego the negative publicity. Shows double standards. As it goes, I really don't believe anyone would mutter anything during this minute to be honest. Don't think anyone is that inconsiderate.

Let's hope these nobheads never have to deal with the pain and trauma of the families of the 96 innocent victims of that terrible tragedy. I'm sure and hope we will do our city and club proud! UTB and come on u scousers against city tomorrow..

TarquinsDelouche has a point re the applause drowns it out.

That said I will pay my respects whichever way they do it, but then my focus will be on our 90 minutes of fame.

Absolutely right, they should but opinions to one side and remember and respect the people that died.

 

[wilsden blade]

I will be appalled if this happens i have close ties with the city of liverpool and hillsboro cuts deep with both liverpool and everton fans the fact is 96 innocent supporters went to a footy match and never got back home plus the fact we eve got 3liverpool lads in our team how disappointed would they be.

 

[TAMUS]

What do you expect with things like sickopedia on the Internet , and how do you know these people are Blades? and not disgrunted pigs .

 

[sitwell]

Its more likely that the coppers would break out chanting.

 

[Blade56]

Missed the build up to the arsenal Wigan game. Did they do a minutes silence or applause. Did they sing YNWA?

Not sure about YNWA but they were applauding at the end of the minute

 

[fortuna93]

Minutes applause no singing

 

[Blade56]

Prefer the applause to drown out the idiots

 

[Hull City Fan]

Every team has it's knobheads ... but I can't see anyone wanting to make such tossers of themselves on telly at Wembley.

I'll be at Wembley, 112 coaches leaving Hull at 8am. I'll be on one of them. I don't think Hull City are taking Sheffield United lightly. No-one gets to the semi finals by accident so, regardless of your division or place in it, you're capable of doing serious damage .... whatever the result, you can be proud .... if Sheffield United are anything like Hull City, you'll know how you're capable of raising your game against teams allegedly better than you .... then, next week, lowering your game to someone you should hammer ... with Hull City perhaps lowering their game and you raising yours, I'm taking nothing for granted. Looking forward to tomorrow and if you win, I'll clap as loud as you! Hull City fans are so used to their team being the underdogs some identify with the team not expected to win.

I'd take Ched back tomorrow. The trial was a travesty in my opinion. We'd be going up if we still had Ched. I really hope the minute's silence is not disrupted - even though I think Liverpool overdo the victim tag. But the victims themselves were innocent and what their families and friends have gone through is awful.. Could be some chants from both sets of fans I think so a minute's applause would be better.

 

[Kendal]

I reckon if any low life scum tried that, they'd very quickly be silenced by people around them and possibly forcibly removed.
And Hull City Fan - Good to see someone from another club come on here and not spout shite. ;-)

 

[Bulletnut]

My take on it is that the majority who died were the innocent victims of whatever chain of events led to the disaster. Disrupting a minutes silence for them would be a disgrace. Anybody who saw some of the interviews with the parents and siblings of the kids that died would have to be mentally retarded to try and make a sick point from it. I've been a rough arse in my time but seriously, brings a lump to my throat every time I think of some of the images from that day.

I'm old school and prefer a minutes silence as opposed to a seal like display of staged applause, it doesn't take much to be quiet for a minute and reflect on things.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

The "always the victim" was apparently started by Man U fans, due to their mutual loathing of Liverpool and vice versa.

It makes me think that Man U fans have VERY short memories as they go bonkers at the thought of Leeds fans doing the "airplane" gesture.

Trouble with all that lot what goes around comes around - just seems pathetic really that fans have to stoop so low when peoples lives have been tragically lost and I include the 2 Leeds fans also lost in Turkey.

UTB

 

[Lt. J Dangle]

If anyone is genuinely thinking of disrupting the tribute, remember we have a Liverpool player and supporter on our team tomorrow.

 

[sitwell]

Be nice if Liverpool fans would have a tribute for the fans in Heysel too though.

 

[Bayingblade]

I was at the top of Leppings Lane (on Middlewood Road) as the whole thing unfolded and while I cannot give a full explanation for the whole sorry episode, I feel I have a semi birds eye view of what happended. As a result of what I witnessed, my views of the Hillsborough disaster would be classed in many circles as controversial but it's amazing how many hold the same view. They tend to keep these views to themselves or mutter them quietly to those with a sympathetic ear.

By now, you can probably guess what my views are and many will disagree, most of who'm probably did not witness what I witnessed.

You may think I am building up to justifying the disruption of the minutes silence. I am not. A minutes silence is a minutes silence and should be respected whatever the circumstances. I disagree with the minutes silence, I have no desire to be part of it, but I will respect it and anyone near me who even thinks about disrupting it will be advised in no uncertain terms to observe it.

Knowing what I know and holding the opinions I do, if I can do it, anyone can.

And should do so!

I was going to put something similar to this. Whatever your opinion of the events on the day, the ones that died are the least likely to have been at fault. I believe that some Liverpool fans had a part to play, that was pretty clear from the footage that the BBC won't show anymore of hundreds, if not thousands, jumping over the turnstyles and pushing their way in. These were not the ones that died. The ones nearer the front, that arrived in time and in the correct manner were the ones that died. Think what you like about who was at fault and what happened, but there is no need for disrespect.
