It is an opportunity to express some measure of condolence for a horrific incident in which 6 young men lost their lives. Most normal people with a spark of compassion will understand and appreciate that.
Tossers like you can confine themselves to the bar area, whilst the rest of us will stand quietly and be grateful it wasn't our son who has fallen.'" Agree with you totally, he is able to express his opinion because of brave people like these 6 young lads, it's irellevent wether you know them or not.

I thought the point Baldrick was trying to make was why have a minutes silence for these soldiers and not the others who sadly seem to die every week? Why do we not have minutes silences after every soldier lost in conflict, and not just these ones? It's very sad, and I give my respects to all soldiers who risk their lives, but I'm not sure why these deaths have been made more significant than any others.

| It's the very least we can do, no too difficult to shut up for a minute is it.

| Working in a poorly paid job? Yes. Defending their country? No. Just hope they have one for the next bin man who gets run over.

| I attended the game tonight . I observed the minute of silence , as did my brother and his two young sons , the youngest of which I had in my arms . His sons , and mine , although only young , have attended services at war memorials and cenotaphs with us , so they have quite a considerable understanding of why it is important to observe the silences and pay respect to the fallen soldiers .
I would have been severely disappointed with anyone who did not shut up for just one minute and reflect on the severity of what has happened . We were stood in the southernmost corner of the Canegie and it was silent . Even the group of a dozen or so rowdy young lads in front of us never made a noise . Respect to those young lads for their actions .
As regards the person who called me a on an earlier page . You really do not know me do you . I meant no disrespect . I thought I made that point clear . I am willing to observe such silences in respect of ANYONE as and when the occasion arrives when I am present . I have no problem at all paying respect to anyone , so please don't just dismiss me as a keyboard warrior . I just think it is going overboard that we have them at almost every large public gathering . The are becoming so regular that they are beginning to lose their true meaning . They should be saved for special occasions .

That's not correct we are allowed to sell Poppys within a 2 week period prior toand just after Remembrance Sunday.
However some people when they've purchased them wear them for much longer.

| These poor men didn't choose their enemy.
If a war kicked off closer to home, they would have been there and no one would be disputing what they were doing, they followed orders and were tragically killed.
The minutes silence was observed brilliantly and when the south stand played the national anthem just after the silence I welled up. A massive pat on the back from me.
