[Football] Emiliano Sala Cardiff City update.

[Super Steve Earle]

You wonder what might have been if Sala had made it to Cardiff and scored enough goals to give them an additional 3 points. That would have relegated us, Dunk and Gross might have been sold. Sliding doors moment.

I'll be honest, whilst I take your point entirely, I would truly rather Albion were relegated than the price of survival being the life of a young man in his prime. The fool of a pilot who killed him, maybe less so. He knowingly made choices that risked his life and that of an innocent.

 

[el punal]

Brake pedal not working, mist in the cabin, loud bang in the previous flight, no night flight license, no paying passenger license. The pilot was a fool to fly and it cost him his life and poor Sala. How grubby do Cardiff look too.

Didn’t Cardiff arrange for Sala to fly back to the U.K. on a commercial flight? Sala declined as he wanted to stay longer to be with his friends. The charter flight was then initiated by his agent. On that basis you can hardly call Cardiff “looking grubby”.

I wasn't suggesting Cardiff looked grubby from that perspective. The article comments on Cardiff refusing to pay the first instalment of the fee and that was the reference point for my remark.

 

[Reddleman]

The only solace I take from that is that due to Carbon Monoxide levels the passenger would have been ‘deeply unconscious at the time of impact’. At least the poor guy wasn’t aware of what was happening at the end.

Okay, I misunderstood. Either way a complete, needless tragedy all round.

Why am I not surprised given the club

 

[GT49er]

Sorry, I'm not sure what we are allowed to say these days, but is 'Scum of the Earth' still OK? If not, I'll settle for shit human beings, more of whom should be in prison (but good that the magistrates had the savvy to send a couple of the scum straight to jail).

Whatever the football story, you can guarantee at the end of it there’ll be some Millwall scrotes getting banged up

I think people are allowed to say whatever they like. But they should also be prepared for someone to be offended by what they said.

Either of your descriptions are probably spot on, to be fair.

They may not be the friendliest bunch in the world, but this is one scum family and a couple of their scum mates - not the whole Millwall fanbase.

Hmmm Buddy Holly all over again.

My Buddy flies over the ocean,
My Buddy flies over the sea,
My Buddy flies into the cornfield,
So no buttered corncobs for me.

It was funny when you were 8 or 9

Very true, but when they sing “no one likes us” you sort of guess why!

 

[B-right-on]

True. Just seems like 99.9% of them. Remember some blokes well into their 50s 'giving it large' at some younger Brighton fans and families on the train to the Amex. They looked like they couldn't spell IQ, never mind having one. Me and my daughter got off the train smartish when it pulled up and about 5 mins later a whole pile of coppers barged thru us to get to the station behind us.

So, given the club, I'm not surprised at all.

Emiliano Sala: Cardiff suing Nantes for £100m, chairman Mehmet Dalman confirms

Chairman Mehmet Dalman confirms Cardiff City is suing FC Nantes for almost £100m over the death of Emiliano Sala.

Classy move

How is it FC Nantes fault?

nothing to do with being classy or not. It’s the insurance companies doing their job in trying to determine responsibilities and liabilities.

Talksport covered this yesterday. Cynical Simon Jordan felt it’s VIncent Tan/Mehmet Dalman sending a message to Nantes …. you want to continue seeking the transfer fee, we have deeper pockets for lawyers and will bully you into submission with a protracted counter claim.

There was a brief interview with Dalman who came across as a defensive/obnoxious twat. White said Tan’s a wealthy bloke (£1.3b) who could settle this now, Dalman indicated why should he. The counter claim seems to be that Nantes and a bunch of amateurs used a dodgy plane, dodgy pilot in a middle of the night flight not designed for that aircraft.

A personal view, I hope Nantes get every penny of the transfer fee.

It's all so distasteful.
