Stuck the news on there and the BBC have a crew outside the Reebok Stadium and there is a sea of flowers, shirts and other such stuff for the young kid Muamba. They interviewed a guy and he was waxing lyrical about the young guy being an inspiration to young people. I had to hit the mute button as I do when things like this are on TV, dead soldiers coming back from the middle east and stuff like that. Makes me cringe and embarrassed at the same time. Is this all over the top or am I an insensitive arsehole?
Yeah that the same... people moping about a footballer and families mourning their sons! NB: Just and arsehole by the way!
Who mentioned sons or parents dicknut? I'm talking about the media. EDIT - I couldn't give a **** about their sons btw. Don't want them planted don't let them join the army. I don't want to see their mopey faces on my TV.
It's people wanting to share in other people's grief. It makes me sick. If someone famous dies and you respect them, have a day of mourning and move on. Days of faux grieving started with the death of the blonde bimbo princess and now any time someone famous or even semi-famous dies the whole country is expected to join in with the mourning. He's still alive for ****'s sake!
It's not similiar situations - no comparison ****face... Coverage of people moping about a footballer (alive or not) or coverage of people grieving over dead friends or sons etc
Cieren has a point. What the **** do we know about these dead soldiers? The could be complete dickheads for all we know. The fact they joined the armed forces in the first place would be pretty good evidence that they are.
**** off spastic... No need for you to even mention the british army when talking about mopes mourning a footballer whose alive! No way comparable but you can't help yourself can you ****knuckle! We get it you hate the british army... [video=youtube;gb_qHP7VaZE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE[/video]
They are not comparable situations... Coverage of football fans showing respect to a footballer who not even dead or coverage of people mourning loved ones... His point is medroesque... Oh, here is a viepoint but guess what, british army = bad Oh here's a viewpoint but guess what, catholics = bad same rules
I'm thinking more of the people of places like Wootton Basset who turn out and line the streets for people they don't know. And all the other ****s who show fake remorse.
Agree, its going over the top fo'****sake, he had a bit of an heart problem, he's gonna be ok, lets move on to the next ****ing "tragedy"
Pud, I am subjected to whinging faces of the families of dead British soldiers all the time. I don't need nor want to see it. Some tart all dolled up for the cameras telling us how much of a hero her sociapathic husband was. She was probably getting pumped rotten while he was over killing dark people. It's tiresome.
I actually agree to a point, but more on media coverage of princes di, jade goody, gary speed, paul mcbride etc Cheers for the tag... you are correct, my dad is a dead brit
It's mad. You can be the most horrible **** on the planet but if you die of cancer or in a car crash or something suddenly the history books get rewritten and you' were a wonderful person. It's like charity - who the **** does Gary Lineker think he is telling me to give my money away - if ****s like him paid their tax we could pay more in foreign aid so we didn't have to give to sport relief and all the other ****e that masquerades as charity but is for ****ers like John Bishop to show the world that they're actually nice people. "oh look everyone - the camera is on Gary just as he starts to pretend to weep - shower of cock juice the lot of 'em.
'****'sake, why don't they just knight the poor **** http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-17498947
