The minutes applause for Muamba ...... Why ?

[The screamer]

Give us your mate's name and we'll have a minute's applause for him before the Middlesboro' game.

He wouldn't want the fuss... plus he's ugly... no one claps for ugly people!

I think we should have a minutes silence before every game for Lady Diana and another one for Madeline and another one for that school teacher who died in the space shuttle


it's only right

We only do it for people who are still alive though

Those on here making a completely over the top moan out of an incident last night that showed support to a soldier and a footballer in a critical condition in hospital just beggar belief. Do you seriously have nothing better to do?

Yes, its bad for him, but having to watch everyone trying to be more concerned, hurt, blah blah than the next person every time a celebrity of some sorts is ill or dead, seems unfortunately to be the norm now.

Interesting article in the Times this morning.

No-one's going 'over the top' except for the way you are describing the dissenters and I don't think anyone's moaning at all about clapping the soldier.

This really kicked off with Diana, man alive some of that was nauseating

In your opinion, you forgot to add.

Whereas your statement is fact, is it?

I made no statement which would in definition mean a definite or clear expression of something in speech or writing, I made a comment which in essence is a remark expressing an opinion or reaction, and therefore wouldn't expect a reply to claim 'fact'. Bit of a curve ball thrown in there.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I thought all the clapping sounded like doggy style

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I think we should of done the applause for Muamba with the Soldier, who lead us out. Not the one minute applause for him, because it seemed to go on forever.

Semantics isn't going to help you here, sonny. Sorry to break the news to you but your comments/statements/opinions have as much or as little validity as anyone else's on here.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

You might. I don't think I'd be alone in telling you to shut it.

don't make me laugh !!

Oh I like the use of 'sonny', it's a very superior word isn't it? Do you feel superior now? I hope so, you deserve it.

Oh, I'm sorry*. I presumed (correctly) that you were trying to be a smartarse with your pedantic reply so I just responded in kind.



*written for effect. I'm not really.

Exactly. The point is, why have that heroic Albion fan who almost died fighting for our country and the freedom of others lead the team out and then have him stand there while we all applaud for a footballer who is getting better after falling ill while playing a game.

A mention of Muamba would have been fine - even a minute's applause but not in the midst of the genuine outpouring of respect for a true hero.

Assumptions/Presumptions aren't really a good trait to have, and to think I was impressed with your superiority.
