Not saying this to be controversial or upset anyone but I don't like it personally, not in the middle of a game there's just no need. I would prefer it before the game or at half time to remember those that have passed, not whilst the game is in play, I just don't get it, sorry.

Also agree with that.
Noticed a nice touch in Sunday FA cup game, Think it was Fulham end but on back of the stands there were R I P banners with names on.

I read this article the other week and thought it made a valid point about the modern game.
