I understand all this has been done in close conjunction with sala's family so i do hope people stick to it.
Arsenal sounded a bit of a mess with some people (perhaps the arsenal fans?) clapping instead.
USW stand (think that's the canton?) will also have a tribute to unveil.
Absolutely the right thing to do and I am sure it will be observed.Quote:

Probably just whoever phrased it. Although perhaps, if it is less than a minute, it's the family's wish, maybe a minute would symbolise death and they see him as missing? Or maybe so it's less likely to be disturbed? I reckon it'll be a minute, they just used a different word for some reason.Quote:

I read somewhere in all of the stuff that's been written since the plane went missing that Sala would be described as something like "missing, presumed alive" unless or until a body was found.Quote:

If there is some noise building, accidental or otherwise the ref can blow his whistle to end the 'moment' at any time
better than having to abruptly end a minutes silence
