We were not going to bring up the subject of the silence, but since you did here goes.
As expected the majority of Celtic fans behaved themselves. Unfortunately there is a sizeable core that cannot, even though one of the people that died - Nigel Pickup - was a Roman Catholic. Once again SKY muted the effects mikes so the viewing public could not hear what was going on.The Scottish Sun It was a strange afternoon, one where the usual poison mingled in the chill air with the raw emotion of remembrance. Where Celtic had made a big show of keeping out a rabble-rousing element of their support but when the cops let others smuggle in smoke bombs and one guy even got through the turnstiles in a Pope costume.
And where the ultra-moronic found a surreal way to try and screw up a tribute to the 66 lives lost in the 1971 Ibrox Disaster.
As the stadium fell still on ref Craig Thomson's whistle, a cough came from the Celtic End. Then another. Then another and another and lots more anothers until it was as clear as the red nose on a flu-ridden reindeer's face that this was an orchestrated effort to make a point.
What that point was, we'll never know. But it seems some lame-brains just don't have the civility to shut the hell up for 60 seconds in memory of others.
As the seconds ticked painfully slowly, someone in the middle of the away support started to applaud.
To the credit of others around him, he was quickly and quietly shut up.

your mobb should try observing the silence respectfully yourselves rather than chomping at the bit, straining your ears for any possible deviance in the away end
