nice outbusrt, and completely out of order.

Nowhere has it been said it was the families request, although Wilf has alluded to the fact that it could have been.

It has been mentioned it was the families request by at least 3 people.

Thanks Paul!

none of which are officially in the know from the club or the family.

anyway, they are my respects, it's down to me how I show them.

Standee

Maybe you are in the fortunate position of not having lost someone close to you.

Because i know that even at church funerals, the families wishes are one of the first things asked about the most importnat thing to consider at a memorial/funeral.

I would find it massivley surprising if HullFC didnt ask how the family how they would like to the tribute to be conducted.

Maybe your natural pesimism is to blame, but i dont think any organisation makes it public knowledge that they are consulting the recently bereaved family on how a memorial is conducted - its just a given fact that they do!

As for them being your respects, youve clearly lost the concept, its not how YOU show them, its how you respect the wishes of how the deceased person would WANT you to show them!

As i said before, if a family requested you wear white to a funeral, you wouldnt wear black just because thats how YOU want to show it.
The fact you wore black would be disrespectful in its own right.

Im just glad the club are doing something .

On the last few occasions where "noise" has been requested there has been a direct comment about it.

I am not saying it hasn't been this time, just observing that it's a few posters on the mb that are stating such.

I am not a pessimist, I am realistic, this is a discussion forum, hence we are discussing the ways in which we find it appropriate to pay respects.

not a fan at all of a minutes noise i think its disrestectful i be having a minutes silence still. its about reflection not here and now

great way to show your respects to a legend - by doing your own thing!

marvellous attitude!

Whilst I will disregard my own feelings and do what has been asked.

show me where the family have been quoted as requesting this, that is my point.

While I see your point, it does seem to be extremely unlikely that the club would opt for a minutes noise unless it was requested by the family. If in any doubt, the 'safe' option would have been a minutes silence.

I don't disagree Kosh, it was simply an observation, but that hasnt stopped a few getting all self righteous as they always seem to do when responsing to my username, as opposed to the content of my posts.

Anyway, so long as people pay their respects in a way they feel comfortable I don't see a problem.

Ive been to a funeral were the request was to wear red n white


needless to say i never obliged to that
