Some sick bastards about. Using this lads death to fuel their own sense of victimhood that they wear like a cloak around them. And you know full well that most of them will be backing a call for YNWA to be played hoping that it isn't so they can wallow in the perceived snub and boost their victim status even more.
Their sense of outrage at everything is an outrage in and of itself.
this is my final word on this thread, I've said enough. To be honest I feel a little guilty of doing the same, stoking it up(by posting the link), as ultimately there was only the odd poster making it 'about the football'. As RadioFriendly said, someone's died, its gone beyond all that. Beyond scoring points. whose got the best fans etc.
I'm confident 99% of blue and red fans share similar feelings about this (i.e sadness that this happened, best wishes to the family etc), and only a sad minority on both sides will want to use it as a hatred thing between the clubs, or to prove that one set of fans are better or whatever crap.
Let's not look for hate or anger; chances are we'll find it somewhere - sometimes its an expression of ourselves. Lets look for what's mutual between the two clubs. Its the only way to lessen the animosity. They proved to me, during the Rhys Jones tribute they weren't a bad lot (y'know many reds are our brothers, our sisters, our mates, our sons - as we are to them). I'm sure we've proven the same thing to them before now.
We can do all that, and still want to see them beat on derby day...or get relegated or what have you.
(if you want to reply to me PM me as I'm out of this thread)
RIP James.
