whoareyaaa Posted 26 March 2012 Posted 26 March 2012 I agree with this, it's a far far more tragic story. As bad as the Muamba incident was I can;t believe how much press it is getting, it was a headline on sky today that he managed to watch tv for a bit. Minute's applauses etc are usually reserved for people who have died, not just in case someone does. I'm starting to find the whole situation very bizarre. Whats so 'bizarre' about the situation?
Guest MattP Posted 26 March 2012 Posted 26 March 2012 Whats so 'bizarre' about the situation? The fact it's a headline on Sky Sports news that he has "watched tv", The fact we are having minute's applauses for someone who hasnt died. Maybe I'm from a different generation now but I have found the whole reaction a bit OTT, don't get me wrong while he was critical in hospital I understood the reaction and the "football family" coming together but since then I really don't get it. Feher and Puerta got nothing like this in 2009/2010 and they actually died on the pitch.

The media are crazy now days I do agree with that and try to feed us way to much information its not like we need updates when he is watching TV, but the minutes applause could be respected he was critically ill and something which doesnt happen every day. The fact Feher and Puerta got nothing like this is possibly because it didnt happen in the UK well obviously?

I agree. I find all this conspicuous grieving for people we've never met a bit mawkish at best and exhibitionism at worse.
EastNeukFox Posted 26 March 2012 Posted 26 March 2012 Do you think we'll get an update when he can go to the toilet and open his curtains? As most people would expect him to go to the toilet and open his bowels, then that trick may indeed be worthy of an update!!
Houdini Logic Posted 26 March 2012 Posted 26 March 2012 Do you think we'll get an update when he can go to the toilet and open his curtains? Bit crude isn't it. Didn't realise he was a girl either

Feher and Puerta got nothing like this in 2009/2010 and they actually died on the pitch. I would rather a minutes aplause for someone who survived than died, I don't get the minutes applause thing for someone who has died (but that is another debate). In this sense we are celebrating the fact he is pulling through and showing support to someone who is actually still alive to see it, whilst I do agree it has been over the top I am pretty sure that seeing all those tributes has given Muamba a massive lift. I will happily applaud someone who has cheated death, the story itself is remarkable regardless of him being a premiership footballer, his heart had stopped beating for 78 minutes, that is insane if you think about it. Finally is anyone actually surprised that the Sun and other such trash have headlines about him watching TV, and will shamelessly exploit this story for as long as it will sell papers, much like they did Gary Speed.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 27 March 2012 Posted 27 March 2012 Can't even make racially offensive comments about a critically ill footballer on Twitter anymore without getting banged up: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-17515992 Seriously though, even if you are a bit of a twat, does this stuff really matter so much that you'd even think about risking getting yourself into this sort of bother? (adopts condescending Daily Mail writer type voice) When will they ever learn?
Guest MattP Posted 27 March 2012 Posted 27 March 2012 Wow. As much of a Cnut that guy is I think jail for a few tweets is ridiculously harsh.
whoareyaaa Posted 27 March 2012 Posted 27 March 2012 Not really harsh is it, its the only the way people will learn. the guy is a A class cvnt if he cant get over the colour of someones skin and feels the need to air it to a audience racially over the internet to look good. Drunk or Soba doesn't matter.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 27 March 2012 Posted 27 March 2012 I blame Diana But, but, she's the Queen of Hearts!!! Or is that Amy? Or Whitney? Or the next one...
Mack Posted 27 March 2012 Posted 27 March 2012 If everyone got slung in jail for posting crap on Twitter half of it's members would be in the nick. What he posted was out of order, and I'm sure plenty told him that. There are people who don't go to jail for far worse and surely a racial equality course or something similar would have been more appropriate. All he will learn in jail is how to be a criminal. I blame Diana Dont say that on Twitter, someone will complain to the old bill and you will be slung in the clink.
AyewJoking Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 this is twitters fault. there are millions of ***** in the world, we all know that. so why give them a voice via a global social network type thingy and get offended when they speak their minds?
lcfcadam Posted 29 March 2012 Posted 29 March 2012 I understand and agree wholeheartedly with the "controversial" cover on this week's Man Utd fanzine the Red Issue. "Grief junkies" is a spectacularly perfect way to describe vast, annoying swathes of our race. Credit to the guys behind this publication for being willing to publish the cynical truth, rather than the pathetic imitation of "emotion" that oh so many try to purvey...

Daggers Posted 29 March 2012 Posted 29 March 2012 Not really harsh is it, its the only the way people will learn. Locking people up for a tweet will not make anybody learn anything and it certainly isn't the only way. Education is the key, that and a properly integrated society and not one based on culture ghettos within cities.
lcfcadam Posted 29 March 2012 Posted 29 March 2012 A very tactless and classless way of going about it though. I thought it was oh-so-desperately-true, and also mildly funny. My days of worrying about tact and class are well and truly over, I'd rather just cut to the chase...

Yes, but had it been a Utd player they'd be calling for a National Week of Silence and Memory.
