Minutes silence

[MatthewC]

I have a senior cup game this afternoon with the rare treat of NARs :O The respect handshake is mandatory, and I am anticipating being asked to hold a minutes silence before the game for the Chapecoense disaster. Which comes first? I'm assuming you'd lead the teams out, do the minutes silence and then the respect handshake, but whichever way I imagine it, it seems like it's going to look clunky!

My view would be respect handshake first, then coin toss as normal and then minute silence straight before kick off

I'm expecting this too (and also have the rare treat of NARs). I'll lead them all out, respect handshake, get the captains in for the coin toss then, when all the usual stuff is done, I'll get the players to gather round the centre circle and observe the minute's silence.

Usual bits, RESPECT hand shake, net checks, coin toss, then call the players in for the minutes silence.

Nice one, thanks. All went well!
