As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
We all can agree that it is a real tragedy what happened to that cardiff striker and the pilot, and I fully expect and understand cardiff football club's need/obligation to pay tribute to the guy, but the reaction of the fans is truly cringeworthy imo. Flags displaying messages about the guy being "100% Bluebird" are ridiculously ott imo - the poor guy had never even trained with the club nor met any of the other players
Heartless bastard.
Nah I'm just fucking with ya augs!
I agree with you and think it is pretty shameful tbh. No harm in being respectful and paying a quiet sincere tribute to a poor young guy that died tragically. But that seldom happens nowadays.
It's the phenomenon of modern social media grief porn. Everybody has to show that they are more affected by a given tragedy than everyone else.

Just more grief porn with fans of other teams going over the top.
Very sad but nobody knew who the fuck he was outside of France and (a few days before he died) Cardiff.
Yes agreed it is sad but people die everyday in one form of crash or another.
What I find mind numbing is even twats like Messi posting on Twitter that they should keep searching, search for what? The guys dead and as sad as it is do they expect to keep using emergency services indefinitely, thus depriving someone else who might be saved
If all these players, club chairmen etc feel like clubbing together and paying someone privately then do it but typical modern day football they expect the public to front up and if it does impact on some other emergency then fuck it, footballers are all that matter.
Agree that the calls to keep searching are just infantile.
The bloke who knows the score basically said that if by some stroke of fortune he survived the impact, he wouldn’t have lasted more than a few hours at most in freezing water.
It’s very sad but he is dead and their limited resources are far better deployed searching for or trying to rescue people that might still be alive.
All the fucking hashtag stuff pisses me right off - none more so than #merciarsene, which was truly fucking cringeworthy. Put a hashtag in front of something and hope it goes viral despite whatever meaningless shit you sprout.
I just know that when Cech hangs up his gloves there will be all this #thankspetr #legend bollocks that will be all round the stadium, and all over Twatter. How about #gofuckyourself #uselesscunt #geriatricprick #chavskiwanker

The focus all appears to be on the player - hardly a jot about the pilot and his family - it’s all social media profiling bollocks

Exactly which is what you seem to get from this reporting, must be sad for the family of the female companion of Leicester chairman as not worth a mention, or the pilot /friends...
Blogger fuckheads quoting stats like "our average position was 5.92". FOAD.
He lives in North America now so that might explain the stats obsession
Just to get the record straight the guy who wrote that post I quoted on the board/Wiggy thread is not a blogger. Here is the original blog post that the guy commented on if anybody cares to have a look.
