    I'm fresh out of the old KY, however I'm rubbing vaseline on my hip replacement scar as we speak. I'll pop into the garage, get the barbed wire encrusted dildo and we're ready to go...<ok>

    I don't see any problem posting it, this is Warnock, quite possibly my least favourite person in football.

    It's obviously an extremely tragic and horrible situation with regard to Sala ..... but even on an occasion like this Warnock still manages to find a way to make an arse out of himself.

    Well you know just before the snap when the wide receivers start doing those pirouettes and changing position?

    I can't begin to imagine how harrowing watching the video footage from that wreckage would be and seeing someone still in the plane. You'd naturally think it would be the pilot, i just hope both bodies are found so everyone close to both families has closure. ****ing horrific and my heart too goes out to everyone connected with them.

    So they've found the plane with only one body. Heartbreaking for the family of whoevers body is recovered. I mean just heartbreaking for all concerned but they will want to give those lost a send off of their choosing. Hopefully they can recover more and at least give some peace to both families.

    my guess is the pilot went down with the plane, in the same way a captain goes down with the ship. My hope is that Sala has washed up on the Isle of Guernsey or summit and he's currently playing keepie ups with a football with his blood stained hand print on. Sadly the reality of the situation is that it doesn't look good given how long it's been. 2 weeks stranded in summer somewhere would be horrific, in this weather at the moment you can forget it like. I think everybody is just praying that their worst fears are confirmed once and for all which will mean they have found the second body and people can get closure from this absolute ****ing nightmare.

    Yep that is it for me. Have to say I'm not one for showing much emotion but that interview with his sister was ****ing heartbreaking.

    Maybe I'm softening slowly. I read a post about Burley Hurley who posted on here and the PL board from time to time. I popped on the Sunderland board as I knew they'd have something up for him. They did and there was a message from his missus on there. Choked me up a bit! Blunham had been posting on these boards as long as I can remember. Always seemed a sound bloke. He didn't seem to carry around any baggage, never seemed to get riled up. Just good banter. He'll be missed.

    For Warnock read Harry Redknapp...both hated by many and yet the latter came over as a smashing bloke when he won I'm A Celebrity. So I don't get it with Neil Warnock, to me he comes over as an alright down to earth bloke. To be honest, he probably doesn't give a hoot what people say about him.

    Nantes will be pleased now I guess, they can start to push for payment again now, i know there there's a contract that won't now be honoured and payments that need to be paid but now isn't the ****ing time to be making demands or even thinking about it to be honest. Putting the footballing thing to one side, there are two devastated familes here, one of whom has finally got some closure, the other sadly not as yet. Unfortunatley due to the circumstances surrounding this, it has made headline news in numerous countries. Nantes would do well to remember this, they aren't painting themselves in a very good light in my opinion. I'm pretty sure Cardiff wouldn't be asking for their money back if they'd paid the whole lot up front so Nantes of course are entitled to payment but can they not just keep it out of the public eye and let the insurance companies sort it out.

    RIP Sala and we can only hope that the pilot's body is found also.

    Yes it seemed very insensitive. The chairman at Nantes is a bit nuts/eccentric so in some ways I'm not surprised.

    In the cold light of day, Nantes would sadly have always had there financials in mind - this player was a commodity they sold for £15m and they want that money.... if the body wasn't found, they still would not have accepted that as an excuse to not be paid. In the same way Cardiff made a commitment to pay them that amount for their player, and Cardiff cannot indefinitely put off paying that amount because of what has happened. The business and financial side of things needs to happen, i.e. Cardiff need to pay Nantes then claim the amount back on their insurance, and this needs to kept completely separate from the obviously tragic and personal events that have happened.

    RIP. Although everyone had hoped for a positive outcome, this was unfortunately inevitable, but at least the families have closure now on a tragic event.

    The strange thing for me is that they have eyewitness reports of red flares going off on the evening of the crash and the pilots body hasn't been found.

    "Sightings of red flares were reported during a lifeboat and helicopter search, but "nothing of significance was found", a Channel Islands Air Search spokeswoman said."

    Obviously anything could have happened but you'd hope it wasn't the case that one of them/both survived the crash in the plane and managed to get the flares off before passing.

    Tragic news though but at least one of the families has some closure now.

    With strong tides and current things can be swept away a long distance over a very short space of time, presumably the flares were set off when they were on the way down and a short while later the debris was far from where the flares went off.

    Considering how damaged the plane looked, it's likely they died on impact, hitting the sea from thousands of feet at high speed, I can't imagine either survived. Although it's horrible to say this, but this would have actually been a better way to go than if they survived the crash and froze to death in the sea over many hours, which would have been a horrible death.
