BottledDog Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 From where I'm sitting I can see everyone at reception. Don't take this as a definite, but there's a Steve Wraith looking man there dressed as the vicar... That'll be Glyn, the vicar from St Andrew's. Absolutely top fella.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The whole 17 minutes thing has been a bit OTT for me from the off. Fans die all the time, yes they died in awful and tragic circumstances, but this isn't a Hillsborough thing. I'm going to hell I know... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 TBH I think the whole 17th minute thing has been observed as a notion that it's all we have to cling on to at present. I too think it's served it's time now to a point. I don't see what harm there is in singing things like "John and Liams Black and White army" spontaneously though on the flip side. It's a mixed bag. People hate us singing about our past players and managers too as if it's embarrassing. Never understood that. We should celebrate everything worth celebrating as winning trophies isn't on the agenda, evidently. Whether we fucking try or not. Top and bottom of it is that it could have been any of us, but why should that be different to two lads dying in a car crash on their way to a game, or whatever...

BottledDog Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Admirable reaction from the club, and throughout the family has been unbelievably dignified. Fair play to them now in calling for closure. Hopefully the video of the separatists/Russians released over the last few days helps the enquiry in bringing some sort of justice for everyone involved somewhere down the line.

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Best thing the club could do now would be to announce they'll arrange a friendly every year to be played on 17th July and request that that be used as the outlet for fans to pay their respects to the lads.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Tbf, they've provided a Memorial Garden at SJP. I think gestures like last year manager & captain putting wreaths on their empty seats in New Zealand, the season-long minute applause, the garden. The club has acted brilliantly throughout it all. Time for the fans now imo on this occasion to follow the wishes of those close to both concerned, and let the guys rest in peace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 As fans, I've got a lot of respect for the mackems.

Interpolic Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 They don't even respect themselves. Nah I'm sort of with HTT tbh, North East football is an embarrassment and I'd far rather see our 2 clubs up there than the London and Manchester ones.

sbnufc Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Just seen the presentation of the dutch investigation on sky news. Confirmed their findings that it was a missile, which detonated outside the plane, firing shards of metal into the cockpit, ripping the cockpit off and downing the plane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
