    Fr. Tim Touhy, formerly of Feakle, Hurled with Flannans and Clare. Great club man in the parishes he was in according to the announcer.

    This is one of the way's that the GAA shows it's connection to the local parish. Nothing wrong with that in my view there nothing wrong with it. The respect for those that have worked for the association is shown in this mark of respect. If it becomes too common then it loses value.

    The other alternative is the round of applause used in England.

    That's the thing though, is it going overboard? There seems to be one at every game now, I don't recall them being so frequent before recent years.

    I don't mind them really, my biggest problem is that I spend them dreading the inevitable breaking of the silence with the shout of "COME ON <insert county here>", more often than not a minutes silence ends with frustration at inebriated chaps who are incapable of shutting up for a minute!

    They are becoming too frequent. Who decides which dead person deserves a minutes silence or does not deserve one?
