Minutes Silence this weekend?

Does anyone else think we should have a minutes silence to mark the passing of one of the all time greats?

Yawn. Already posted on the next thread down the page...

 

its an important issue worthy of its own thread

 

Well said Alan. The man was an inspiration to millions around the world and was a truly dedicated professional role model to all aspiring young leaders. Many of the game's best coaches have modelled their managment style on his and it is right and fitting that his tragic and untimely passing is respected by all of us.

 

i tip my hat to your superior mock grief chippy, we can all learn from your statesmanly decorum. Did you study under the great mr Kim by any chance?

PS a thought provoking article is it not?

 

My grandpa died on this day the 24th November 1982 and we have never heard from him since. I feel he should be given a minutes silence as he was to all intents and purposes fairly inconsequential in this mire ridden world.

Please respect him. I know you shall just like the others that none of us really knew.

 

He truly was a great man, he even inspired Korea to this famous win:

Here's some pictures of the great man's life which may cheer some posters up at this difficult time.

 

We should also lower the flag at Buckingham Palace and have a day off work as a mark of respect.

 

Herro.

 

Really and truly we should cancel Christmas. How anyone can sit and eat a massive turkey dinner less than a week after such tragic news is beyond me. The way this country is losing its moral compass so badly is very depressing.

 

I'd still shag um.

 

Here, here.

 

Supplies!

 

Racist.

 

**** you and yer supplies party then.
