I heard a few in the South Stand, which were quickly shut up I might add.

As did I. I'd forgotten about it until the players walked out side by side, there was a hurried mission to get the people I was with to turn their phones on silent

Yeah a few phones did go off. I thought it was well observed.

I was going to start an O/T on this after watching the start of the England game..
Why in God's name can't football fans keep stum for one loving minute.??

Actually its not a minute they call it a moment of silence...

R.L. fans are no less passionate than footie fans we drink before and during the game and 9 times out of 10 R.L. silences and perfectly observed..

What is the problem with these football Goons??

These are England fans. The clowns boo other teams National anthems, and tarnish the country's name all over Europe. Says it all really.

Don't tar everybody with the same brush.

For the 19 people that died at the Ivory Coast match over the weekend. So many people wanted to get in the stadium because Drogba was making a return to international football after injury.

What happened during the football minutes silence? Foz had the game on but I wasn't really paying attention (I hate football).

Anyone remember the Widnes fans booing during the minute's silence for the Queen Mum at Wilderspool? You're always going to get idiots who haven't got an ounce of respect in their bodies. What people forget is regardless of what they think of whoever the silence is for, that person (or people) was somebody's mum/dad/brother/sister/wife/husband/etc.... and they should try and empathise.
