There is a minutes silence scheduled for the game this Saturday

, do not abuse this minutes silence.
Whatever you thought of the player or the man, please observe the minutes silence.

I'm sure the majority will, I'm equally sure some people won't unfortunately.

Yes the beer monster will probably take over a few people but if your with one of these people please try to stop it from happening. It will be cringeworthy at best.

every idiot who never goes to league matches will be there and will have been drinking all day, it'll be a miracle if its observed

Agreed, im dreading it already.

Maybe the rfl should have missed this game and had a silence at a England 4 nations game?

I'll go for a number two then

Well said Mr. McManus, as a Wigan fan i'm hoping for the same he was a troubled lad and if Sean Long can forgive him i'm sure the fans can. Looking forward to a great game.

I really hope it will be respected but fear it won't be. A minutes applause would've been much more fitting

Just observe it, it's players like Newton who makes derbies extra special. A ban is worth the banter but not death.

can see this going wrong big time. Can even see the singing of the song idiots sang when he played, I hope i'm wrong but think a mins applause would of been better

Exactly. 80,000 people at Old Trafford, it's fair to say that if just the regular fans who attend Knowsley Road and the DW attended that it would be nowhere near that figure, fans of other teams or not. It is also safe to assume that 3 o'clock kick off on a Sunday afternoon at either place and the silence would be served impeccably.

Therefore, if idiots decide to outwardly show their lack of dignity, they should be ignored (or preferably thrown out of the ground and banned from finals for the rest of their lives, seeing as that is probably the only game they attend)

I can remember the Manchester derby a couple of years back for the 50th anniversary of munich.People were saying that the silence was going to be totally abused but i think but for some firecrackers going off is passed off well...think they came from outside the ground well away....Piont is both sets of fans United (which you would expect ) and City (Thought were going to abuse it) respected it..

Exactly.

I like most hope that it is observed but fear that the idiots will try to spoil it. I don't see why anyone would find it that hard to stand in silence for a minute no matter what your personal feelings are.

That said appealing via boards like this for people to honour the silence is pretty pointless when I would imagine most if not all of the posters on boards like this wouldn't consider deliberately breaking a silence.

For me a minutes applause would be better. That way any idiots would be drowned out if they chose to disrespect the minute.
