I imagine it would have been quite pleasant to enjoy a 60 second respite from the booing and haranguing of your own players.
That said, if previous form of the few is anything to go by, any requests for a short period of silence in respectful remembrance would be outright ignored.

Firstly Gareth, having not been at the game Saturday, thanks for letting me know about this remembrance. I am upset to have missed that and think it really important the club stays in tune with the history of the city. The fact Plymouth were the visitors makes it doubly apt.
Jutland was a hugely important battle, the loss of life was large in naval terms and it was very important in the outcome of the war. Although classified as inconclusive, the German surface fleet which had been bombing England from the North Sea earlier in the war was effectively rendered useless for the duration.

I have happy memories of Devonport Dockyard and surrounding watering holes but the pain of the way we lost Saturday hasn't eased. Never mind Daz is York bound and I'm sure he will have plenty of good things to report. .;D
Must get back to potting my Geraniums when the Selby/Milkins match goes to the break.

I think I have uncovered what he is so happy about. If you look closely you can just see the top of Papa's head bobbing up and down in his lap.

Defeat from the jaws of victory - that takes some skills..
Ronald Koeman: "I'm really disappointed because it was a big opportunity to win the game, right from the start. We had a lot of space to play but in the final part it wasn't good enough.
"At least we had a good reaction to going behind. We got one point but at this final part of the season it is not enough. We want to fight for Europe and it is not a step forward."
