7 minutes.

Change the thread name to at the coin toss friday??

Just sing it through the game whenever. Hillsborough doesn't dictate anything to do with that. We might have seen the last of Loft now so he needs some sort of send off - absolutely gutted if that is the case mind.

[Little_Al]

That's fine but pick another appropriate time. Agree that Loft needs and deserves support. Hope the club will support him until he's fully fit again.

[Little_Al]

On second thoughts - is it possible that Lofty will appear pitch side - could the club arrange it?

Doubt he wants to looking like that

[Fosse69]

Would the last home game against Sheffield U be more appropriate? Loft looking better by then?

Anyone saying it is disrespectful because of Hillsborough is a clown. Doug Loft is our number 7 and that is why the opening poster chose 7 minutes. I personally think these round of applause things have gotten a little a bit silly mind.

I'm not sure anyone said it is disrespectful because of Hillsborough..the reason for selecting 7 minutes was well known

 

I agree re the round of applause things

Hardly a clown, I understand the reasoning for the 7 minutes and never said it was disrespectful! I'm sure in the grand scheme of things the seven minute is the appropriate time to celebrate Lofty's contribution but it is too soon after mark of respect for the 96 which was also marked at the seven minute mark and that doesn't sit right with me personally.

I'm not knocking the OP, it's simply a case of bad timing

...Absolutely, totally disagree.

...Absolutely, totally agree.

Indeed it's hardly about what we think as we will know why it was done at the 7 minute mark but those not in the know will indeed wonder why PVFC seems to have hijacked the Hillsborough 7 minute tribute for one of its players..an unfortunate coincidence but one we could do without

Applauding a player who's more interested in his next payday elsewhere ?

Don't get me wrong he shouldn't have to suffer what he's gone through but his comments about being in the " shop window" means he doesn't give a stuff about Port Vale and it's fans.

Good luck in your new employment
