Kanji Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Strong woman, that Louise for showing up to the tributes, brilliant show of public strength. Glad that she will be coming to St James for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It would be equally inappropriate and unfunny in my opinion. Even if it was someone like say Saddam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 We do what she wants, as simple as that, in the end two tributes will go ahead, the unofficial one tomorrow, and the official one against Swansea. Heza, hanging, really? Sorry. If it was anyone else who had done this though, I would make similar jokes as would many others. As much as I love Gary Speed and I'm gutted by this, I think hanging yourself is a cowardly act. There never is a right time to say that, and Joey Barton (I think) saying that so soon after was particularly inappropriate, especially in the public eye. I certainly wouldn't do it about cancer or something of the likes. I guess it's my (and others') way of dealing with it, by making an ocassional funny. Don't say it then. It's my opinion, more people died allowing me to have one, so tough s***. Fair enough - you're entitled to your opinion. Just don't think your joke was any less inappropriate than what Joey Barton said. Fair enough, I guess. Would it be different if it was someone we don't give a s*** about though? Like Steve Bruce? What you said wasnt funny. Depression is an illness that is widely disregarded by ignorant people like yourself, dont criticise unless youve been there yourself. Your "joke" was tasteless and you deserve any stick you get for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Glad there's not going to be a hymn. Don't think it's appropriate for a football match. Show some humility for gods sake.

SEMTEX Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's pretty ridiculous to get a "warning" for that tbh. Shite joke, yes, especially for this crowd, but giving him a warning is ridiculous. Just ignore it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 This was the first song that came on my ipod when i shuffled it. All i could think about was when the club adopted this as our Cup Final song. I was gutted listening to it and thinking about Speed Always reminds me of the SBR days. Hearing that prematch was pretty much your call to get to your seats because the match was kicking off in 5 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I respect the family's wishes to have the tribute postponed. I can understand the reasoning for doing so. We, as fans, can still commemorate Gary tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

womblemaster Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 tbh I am glad this emotional stuff isnt happening before the game vs chelsea, as i think it would be a distraction before a very important game. Better when a lesser team is in town+ the welsh lads might be better at singing that hymn. `Glad there's not going to be a hymn. Don't think it's appropriate for a football match.` You mean a league game? OR do you not approve of `Abide with me` before fa cup too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 As mentioned before, there's no comparison with Abide by Me as that isn't being sang in honour of a player who recently died. It's simply a cup final tradition and an uplifting moment rather than a somber reflection on a recent tragedy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Drove behind Shearer for quite a long section of the A69 today and it really hit home when I thought about the fact that he'll be doing that trip again soon to go to Speedo's funeral.
