  • I'm normally just a cynical old cunt, but I was absolutely gobsmacked & gutted to hear the news.   I was born in the same year as Speedo and you just don't envisage people your own age dying and

It would be fantastic if they got some of the old boys back to pay their respects but I can't see it happening.

 

 

If they do get some of the old boys back, give them a strip and let them play as well!

You can't pay enough respect to a great player but, just an observation, this will be Villa's third game, each with a minutes applause/silence for the legendary Gary Speed.

Personally I would prefer a minutes silence - I think applause should be reserved for someone with no direct club connections

Minutes applause are pretty underwhelming, minutes silence would be much better.. have they gone out of fashion?

I agree. Keeping quiet for a minute shows a bit of respect, whereas at Spurs, with the clapping & the attempts to start chants ,it all seemed a bit undignified.

i'm having a quiet minute

How about I throw in the odd 'tard?

Don't let this thread end on silly stuff.

 

Gary Speed was a true star for us, and deserves any tribute we give him.

 

R I P Speedo.

 

 

A minute's silent reflection for me.

it's tactical to unnerve Shay Given early doors

it's tactical to unnerve the injured (hamstring, out for a month) Shay Given early doors

I guess it should be up to Gary's family whether they would prefer a minutes silence or applause.

then it worked

A minutes applause is a fad..

 

A minutes silence is mourning and proper respect.

 

Everyone should do that.

 

I hope they do on Saturday.

 

Gary Andrew Speed . God Bless.
