what was going on at kick off. No organization between the ref and stadium management and the pitch announcer. The announcer was half way through announcing a minuets applause when the ref blew his whistle.

Sorry if its already been mentioned but I haven't seen it

Yeah pathetic wasn't it

Even Sky where wondering what the feck was going on.

forgot the big screens didn't start showing the game for a few minuets into the match either

Our pregame and announcers are getting worse and worse!

Eddie hemmings did mention that sky were,nt aware of the clubs plan to hold a minutes applause, it should have been done earlier, tim was associated with both clubs and the pa would have had no probs getting the attention of both sets of fans. Poor show

The announcer did mention a life long FC fan who had also played for Them. Didn't the announcer ask everyone to remember him as the teams kicked off? Apologies, but I cannot remember his name.

when i saw the subject headed kick off i thought it was about the fisty cuff in the east stand !

Im sure it got mentioned a fair bit before kick-off, so I was expecting a minutes silence/applause. It was a right cock-up!

Tim Sage

That's what I thought, I thought the announcer just asked for fans to remember him as the teams kicked off. Didn't hear any mention of minutes applause.

cant say I heard a mention of it but I assumed there would be by the way they was mentioning it. either way it all seamed a bit unorganized

sure he said a celebration of Tim Sages life yet the game kicked off whilst he was building upto it.

It was very poor organisation, there were a few in the South stand who knew Tim already stood up in anticipation of the annnouncement.

Even though he was very ill he was at the game a few weeks ago, as said by the announcer he was a Hull Fc fan and ex Rovers player.

RIP Saggy.

About 20 mins before kickoff, they announced that there'd be a minutes silence before the game, but obviously the players and officials hadn't been told.
