No Respect

[peter w]

Its our gesture to our captain. The applause should continue. What should be stopped is the embarrassing ridiculous songs sung after. Maybe those on illa Talk and other Villa sites should spread the word and ask people to stop as we are making ourselves look stupid now. Also, if anyone says no to ask why they think its a good idea.

[andyh]

maybe we should all sing 'No respect' to Kalid Abdo

[Holte L2]

Can Mr Woodhall not release a statement in the Mail with regard to dropping the round of applause?

That doesn't sound to me like Dave's style, in any case although a few people act like knobs with the no respect stuff that shouldn't be a reason for the vast majority, who just want to support the man, to be asked to stop.

The important person in all of this is Petrov and I'm as certain as I can be that he will appreciate the continued public shows of appreciation of what he is going through

Very well said Chris.

I've been undecided as to whether the 19th minute should continue, but having read your post and knowing what you've been through, Chris, I now think it should continue.

Thanks for your input.

Very good point. Suppose the only other we can do is automatically start the One Stylian Petrov chant and drown out the morons that attempt to sing no respect.

Sorry Mr Woodhall, my logic behind is that with you being editor you might be able to send out a message to eradicate the idiots. We know it's starting to give us a bit of a rep and I dont want us to turn into Liverpool.

Turn into a Liverpool? You do realise 96 fans went to a football match and never returned home don't you? That they were blamed for their own deaths and alcohol tests done in a makeshift mortuary, their family's had to read about fellow fans robbing the dead. All of which was untrue and only because of the continued campaign by the family's have we now found out the real truth, so they had every right to do what they did!

What a sickening fucking phrase to be used by a football "fan", if anything was to happen to me or any other Villa fans I'd hope that my fellow Villains would do the same as the Liverpool fans and family's of the deceased.

He didn't mention anything about Hillsborough though.

What else does it mean then?

[claret and blue blood]

I must admit to being dissappointed that we are seriously considering dropping the 19th minute applause at Villa Park. The catalyst for this seems to be the moronic element of our fans responding to the opposition fans lack of participation through innocent ignorance ,in some cases, to the extreme case exhibited on saturday  by that scum who follow Manure hijacking it to have a go at us.
Do we really want that lot to deprive us of the opportunity to show Stan how much we are behind him ?
Only when he gets the all clear should we stop doing it,but only  applaud at Villa Park. Anyone listening to "no respect" chants should try to make the point to them that it only helps the opposition.

Scousers seem to have a minute silence every other week at Anfield for reasons that have nothing to do with Hillsborough. Perhaps that's what he's on about.

Nonsense!

Scousers had (have) a persecution complex that predated Hillsborough. Toxteth, thatcher, docks. When I lived there i knew lads who were convinced that draws were fixed to put everton and lpool together in cup competitions so as to make sure one of them were knocked out.
  But as Hillsborough showed just because you are PAranoid it does not mean they arent out to get you

For fucks sake. I didn't even refer to Hillsborough. I meant that Liverpool are famous for having a minutes silence all of the time. Bad reference giving the timing.

Anyway, I love Stan Petrov as a player and a person but i would be in favour of dropping ghe applause as hes in remission. If not, I'll still applaud until we do decide to drop.

I agree, I think it should stop at away games as it makes me squirm a bit now with the inevitable "no respect" chants, it all gets a bit "Liverpool" victim mentality etc.

I agree with this, the grief junkies are having a field day with the Petrov thing.

Don't mention Liverpool. MonsXI will think you are being disprespectful!!  That was exactly the point I was trying to make - victim mentallity.  For fans, like Fulham to point it out to us, its obviously becoming an issue. 

[Rioch is King]

drowning out the 'no respect' morons by chanting Petrov's name is the best solution.

[Des Little]

We just need to drop the whole m'lord thing, whatever shite lyrics are thrown in.  It's all cringeworthy.  End of.
