What can we as individuals and collectively as FT members learn from Vichai?

Vichai was such an amazing individual. We all know that. It can not be stated enough.

 

 

but is there any point in acknowledging that if we don’t in some way allow him to impact our lives?

 

what I am basically saying is that I feel the best tribute we as invididuals and as FT members could pay Kuhn Vichai and his family, is to learn something from him...  to pass on his legacy, so to speak.

 

Basicslly, what I am saying is how he treated each individual he met was top class. He was respectful and gave them all time.

 

i have absolutely loved the respect and more gentle nature of this forum recently... I have been quite uneasy with some of the vitriol that has been on foxestalk the last couple of years and will hold my hand up and say I have been guilty of it myself...

 

 

so in short, can we keep this up? Can we just be a lot nicer and kinder to each other? Let’s just allow differing opinions without trying be so vitriolic in our responses?

 

 

personally I think that would be the best tribute we could pay Kuhn Vichai- moving forward, to learn from him and allow him to impact our lives.

I'm not religious although had a  religious childhood and there's some texts in there that are appropriate

 

Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount -  “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”  Or as written these days - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

The Mosaic law contains a parallel commandment: “Whatever is hurtful to you, do not do to any other person.”

 

Or you could follow this text - “If you wouldn’t say it to your mother or your wife, then don’t say it.” But I guess that's on dodgy ground these days.

Respect. 

This, as simple as that.

Everyone sees the game differently, everyone has differing optinions. And that's great! But try to have a discussion instead of just using negative vitriol. Don't think a player / manager is any good? No problem! But why not try and point out both the good and bad of said incumbent. Try to see the argument from both sides and formulate a conclusion or opinion based on it. 

For me the best posters I see on here act in this manner. Sometimes we agree with one another, sometimes we don't! But even when we don't, we have a good conversation and it's more like a debate in school / university than slinging insults at one another. Sometimes the other person even changes my way of thinking through pointing out some things I hadn't considered.

 

The last 2 weeks have shown what a FAMILY Leicester city supporters and the community is, that was Vichai's legacy. Sometimes your family will drive you mad, you can't believe you're related to them and you want nothing to do with them. But they are your family and then you remember that you love them and would do anything for them* and that actually you are on the same side and probably want the same things.

*Assuming you're not from a Mitchell brothers soap-opera style family where family members want to kill one another!

To add to this, I would say the whole world could learn from his impeccable manners, his dignity, and the example he set to others, and together with his great wealth he showed (with his donations to help communities, people and charities) a responsibility that is greatly lacking in today's society.

I'd been toying with volunteering at our local food bank up the road from me in Luton, and had been putting it off. I think it's fair to say that the Vichai tragedy made me get on with it and sign up, and I did my induction session this morning. Glad I did too

 

Thats fantastic news. So pleased to hear that. I periodically cook for homeless people in a shelter that my church runs.

The "golden rule" in the gospels is kind of an enhancement of the older mosaic law. The "not doing to others what you don't want done to you" requires no action at all, whilst "doing to others as you you would want them to do to you" is proactive. It's a simple idea, not always easy, but if everyone did it, it would be a wonderful world.

Respect. 

 

And as much as I say that most of my problems with other clubs have been buried. But for personal reasons that will never happen with spurs. 

 

Watford fans fans have been great Deeney Day means nothing now. As with so many things. Our local rivals mean nothing now other than match day. 

 

But I'll never forgive someone trying to stab me. And wembley punching women. The salty feckers after our title win is just lol lol.
