I was hoping there wouldn't be a minute's silence, not because Newton doesn't deserve one, but because I know it won't be observed by what will most likely - and unfortunately - be a fairly large minority of Saints fans. I hope I'm wrong, because not only will it be obviously disrespectful, but because it'll tarnish all Saints fans for years to come.

Agreed. It's therefore up to us sensible types to keep our traps shut, and hopefully the SKY cameras may pick out the inconsiderate twits and give them the visual equivalent of a "name and shame".

i dont think it is appropriate as there are a number of fans who go just to drink, not to watch a game and just to cause trouble.

We, as Saints fans, need to police this amongst our own supporters. Whether you agree with this or not we should not allow our gloryhunters to disrupt this minute.

I am cringing at the thought of some idiots letting us down as a club. This could leave a stain for a long time.

Don't worry you can boo at your TV lol.

ive got a really bad feeling that someone will

Oh, I will!!

The problem is other than giving dirty looks to anyone who does disrupt it there is little we can do to stop the idiots. If they are going to be idiots they will. In a sense its best to ignore it as anything else will just disrupt it more.

I agree. Better to just ignore it than having Saints fans seen fighting among themselves on the TV!

Use the force Luke.

I don't think so, a minutes celebration for a convicted drug cheat who's left his kids in the lurch because he couldn't face up to what he'd done? That's a step too far IMO.

I think a minutes silence is pushing it personally, but I will be honouring it regardless, as should everyone else in the ground.
