No it’s not a rule. It’s another example of the utter poovery that’s far too prevalent in modern Fitba. Guard of honour - what a load of shi’te.
No way the Huns would do that and quite right. The fact we did it a few years back made me sick.
Congratulate them on winning the league by all means and say well done to them in the boardroom or even in the match programme - but f’uck that pandering, snivelling, supine guard of honour sh’ite.
Nobody should do it.
