    Amoral is no particular respect for morals either way whether they be good or bad i do believe. Probably the right word as the chiseled chinned **** probably thought nowt of it.

    This is as close I'll become to being happy at somebody dying as I was when Maggie popped her clogs.

    Both were the only two on my dad's for fun hit list. Who do you want to kill dad? Maggie and Hill!

    In the above scenario I suspect there may be many who would argue he had done the wrong thing for the right reasons but not many arguing he had done the right thing.

    If that makes sense,

    I also suspect that in that situation the BC supporters would hold him in the same low regard as we do.

    If he's buried I hope the worms bypass him as a meal as they don't eat ****e and if he's cremated I hope his ashes are blown into a stagnant pool of piss and stay there as long as his cheating ways stay in my mind.

    That's not strictly correct and certainly doesn't apply to Jimmy Hill and his actions.

    However, to answer your question, I'd have no respect for anyone who cheats the supporters in football.

    Hill deserves no respect because he purported to represent the game and cheated it.

    I'm not comfortable either with the unintended consequences of some of the changes he helped to make - don't think he would be either - but I still have alot of bad memories closer to home about him

    I couldn't care about him dying any more than an African man who's just been murdered in the jungle for stealing another tribe's guano, but...

    It wasn't his fault your players got relegated, there was more than one game in the season. You shouldn't dine out on one game, there was probably 45 other games that season.

    But the result was broadcast at the ground knowing our result would mean relegation for the loser of their all level match - cheating - just imagine it the other way round - what would MrHill have had the FA do - ???????? :emoticon-0181-fubar:emoticon-0121-angry

    He was one of those responsible for making the game all about money and control ......... as a result it's become a shadow of what it was.

    Of course, I'm not refuting that.

    It was your players that put their destiny in his hands though.

    Whatever the circumstances, a man who was the voice of football shafted the game.

    Not just for Sunderland but for all supporters.

    It was a nailed on 3 points deduction for any club .......... Hill made sure he was on the disciplinary panel.

    What about the manager of the team Coventry were playing, Is he equally to blame?

    It's obviously a ridiculous thing for him to do, he's shafted you and taken the opportunity to guarantee his team's safety.

    Your players are mostly responsible though, the tragedy of any relegation must lay at the feet of the people who lost the games for the most part.

    Tel, you are probably to young to remember Hill in the seventies but he was the mouthpiece for fair play etc on motd. No one disputes that the players are ultimately responsible but that f**king hypocrite deserves all of the abuse he gets - he was a c**t
