With all due respect to the recently fallen , why don't we just have a minute of silence prior to kick off at EVERY fooking game ?
I really do feel sympathy to the relatives and friends of these six chaps that unfortunately lost their lives on active service in a foreign land , but to be fair they mean no more to their families and friends than my dad meant to me , and we didn't all stand in silence for him . Death is a consequence of armed conflict . Yes they were brave . Yes they were young . Yes they knew the risks .
Due respects to all involved . But what has it got to do with us ?

| Heroes? Not really. A tragic waste of life in a a pointless conflict.
I feel so sorry for their families, these lads should never have been there in the first place  |

Sadly it's a sentiment I agree with. The sentiment of the minutes silence has been diluted by the fact we're having them all the time.
The Dewsbury Celtic v Shaw Cross game tomorrow will feature several of Corporal Hartley's schoolfriends, so we shall be having one, it being his 21st too. But I can see where you're coming from, in a way, undermining the will to continue by creating public outpouring of grief is kind of what the Taleban are working towards. |

A terrible tragedy for their families. I feel as sorry for them as I feel angry at the gutless swine that sent them there.

It's a brave thing to come out and say. Many wouldn't, but many would agree I suspect. |

Fair enough. On a personal level, I'd rather be outlived by my kids than my dad. But re your point about a one minute silence, I tend to agree. Having said that, I don't really mind respecting it if it genuinely means something to others. |

It has nothing to do with ignorant s like you.
It is an opportunity to express some measure of condolence for a horrific incident in which 6 young men lost their lives. Most normal people with a spark of compassion will understand and appreciate that.
Tossers like you can confine themselves to the bar area, whilst the rest of us will stand quietly and be grateful it wasn't our son who has fallen. |
