oh ah grantona Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 RIP, a great Hearts fan I am sure. But a minutes applause for a player's grandfather? Just clap for 90 mins now and cover everyone. Its sad and thoughts with family but for me deaths in football should only be remembered in football. People will say im wrong and inconsiderate but death is part of life sad but move on RIP and also a fantastic coffin buried in Tynecastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Nice touch and a good Jambo but think it would be a bit unnecessary and maybe unfair. He died through natural causes as far as I know and bear in mind Morgaro Gomis just lost his father then it might seem a bit unfair that Jamie Walkers grandad gets some preferential treatment.

Darkwhisky7 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 An amazing coffin and sorry for the sad loss and if I get as long a life I'll be a happy man, R.I.P.. Have to agree with previous posters, something at the end of season game similar to what St. Mirren did in the relegation season against us at St. Mirren Park would suffice for this. Dave Mackay and other Club legends etc. still merit a minutes silence or applause because its directly linked to the Club and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunciboyjambo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Some people need to get a grip on here... Does it really bother you that much to clap for one min at a game to show respect to a players grandad who looks to have been a die hard Jambo? It would be a nice touch to the family and especially Jamie... It's not as if it's happening every game, let's show some support and respect to the Jambo family..

sick.of.romanov Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 It's starting to get silly now. Whenever a relative or friend passes people are on social media wanting a round of applause.

If it was a one off I think people would agree. But it seems every match this season has a minutes applause. If it happens every week it loses what makes it special. I also agree with the idea of a minute silence/applause at the end of season for all supporters who died in that year (maybe a list in the program.)

Stuart Lyon Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Not in favour of this at all. If you take it to its logical conclusion we could be clapping all game for various people.

Homme Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 If we can do it for diehard Jambo fans, why not for one of our best players relatives who also happens to be a fan?

pumphyjambo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Sorry but this is getting way out of hand now. As previous posters have said and I said on twitter a while back, do what St Mirren do and read out the names at the end of the season. A players grandfather? Seriously, this is way over the top now.

Gorgie_Rules Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 RIP, amazing coffin. Appreciate the clapping may give the family some sort of comfort, but the more often it happens the more devalued it is. Quite often fans don't know what or who they are clapping for. The way things are going its going to end up every home game. Personally I think it should be left to the club to decide on when there should be a commemorative clap/silence. Perhaps if it is deemed that the players wear a black band then there should be a silence/applause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JyTees Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Some extremely disrespectful comments on here. If you're not for it, why even comment? Let whoever wants to be involved get involved and leave them to it. Incidentally, I don't think I know a stauncher family of Jambos than the Walkers. John was at the head of that family and couldn't have been any prouder of his grandson. A dream come true. An obituary that invited guests at the funeral to "please wear maroon". Don't see why anyone would have a problem with showing a little respect, even if that meant staying away from the thread to avoid being disrespectful. The comparisons to Gomis' late father are pretty grim indeed. New lows set by Kickbacks zoomers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyBatistuta Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Don't have a problem with it, but think a program at the last home game specifically for lost Jambos is the way to go. It would be nice little memory for the families to keep and pass on. Proceeds from the sale of these programs could also go to charity. I would definitely buy one.

¼½¾ Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Scott Wilson could read out something before kick off for any fan who died. People could applaud to show respect,(or not), and it needn't impact on the game itself. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 There are situations where it is absolutely the right thing to do, such as a former player/manager/significant person to the club who has died. Even for those who died young and were ST holders, as those around the (formerly) empty seat will obviously be feeling emotional during the first home game. For a player's grandfather, it is too much. We would be constantly applauding if we did this for everyone who had a relative die. Jamie wearing a black armband would be a good and personal mark of respect. RIP though, will be a tough time for the Walker's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
