Applause for Petrov

[Dave Cooper please]

That was brilliant. Kudos to PWS for initiating this.

And to Legion for getting it spread so far.

Indeed, i've thanked him many times but again, thanks for all you did Leeg. And also everyone who helped spread the word. I hope we all did Stan proud today.

And you PWS for the idea, was listening on local radio and even from there you could sense the emotion, well done all.

Celtic are now doing the same thing in their home game tomorrow, clicky.

[Aston Manor]

Didn't realise that this had come from you guys so well done,and a sense a pride that it comes from a family I'm kind of part of.I doff my cap to you all.

I've just seen the BBC website and the Martin Petrov interview is very moving. You should watch it.

You know I may be slightly out of the loop but I only really heard about this late last night/this morning. Yesterday afternoon I was thinking of our player of the season and I was saying to myself that it would be Stan except that he's been off the boil for a month or so. No I know why.

Get better soon Stan. Your illness now could see us go down you selfish sod! But Christ, get better soon.

[Dave Clark Five]

Most organised things turn out to be a damp squib but this was absolutely brilliant. It just shows what can be done where there is a will.

[Pat McMahon]

I agree with everything said re the efforts to organise this applause. Very moving and thoroughly appropriate too.

Thanks to Chelsea too for their players wearing those t shirts before the game and to their fans in joining in the applause.

Good luck Stan. An under rated player and seemingly a really decent man.

Blimey, have you ever seen a more focussed 11 than the Celtic players on this link? Don't know who they were playing but I wouldn't have wanted to be them.

Indeed, well done chaps.

Well done, its something to be very proud of.

[SashasGrandad]

I thnk we should do it every 19 minutes for the rest of the season.

19,  38,  57, 76  - if we can cope with the maths!

We could do with the inspiration!

If we get 5 mins injury time we can do a fifth!

[itbrvilla]

What did stan say before the game? Was he on the pitch?

[JUAN PABLO]

i heard Stan the man actually wanted to play .  top man

[Ghost of Pongo Waring]

I couldn't make yesterdays game for personal reasons but the minutes applause was superb and obviously meant a great deal to Stan.

It's going to be a long hard fight for him and it'd be great to see us supporting him all the way by repeating the 19th minute applause at every match untill he's beaten this.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Excellent show of support for the 19 minutes applause.

Made me very proud.

[preston28]

Here you go. Impressive stuff.

Magnificent effort - goose bumps and moist eyes after watching that!

[Karlos96]

Was great to be part of it yesterday and have got goosebumps just watching the Celtic fans do the same.  Well done to Celtic it was a really nice touch.

[cdbearsfan]

Surprisingly, Celtic did it in the 19th minutes (ie 18.00-18.59) rather than from 19 minutes onwards.

Splitters!
