Guest Back Post Misses Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Can see it now. Think I'm missing something, so you two can charge on tbh. I remember thinking at the time what an absolutely heartless comment to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is football is never the be all and end all. It is just a game. It's 22 men kicking a bit of leather round a bit of grass. It doesn't take the tragic death of a player to come to that conclusion. At no point in that post did I mock a man who took his own life. You lost the bet, BPM. As I said I'm happy to chuck a wee bit extra toward the charity I chose for winning the bet. Your choice whether you honour it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dufresne Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Right here is my take on it,Jimmy your post was tasteless and so soon after Chris took his life not needed,BPM has offered to donate to MIND if you match it.Will you do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost the bet so you cough up. Out of good grace I am more than happy to contribute a wee bit extra to the kitty. 2 minutes ago, keithgy said: Right here is my take on it,Jimmy your post was tasteless and so soon after Chris took his life not needed,BPM has offered to donate to MIND if you match it.Will you do so? There was nothing tasteless about it at all, Keith. And furthermore I certainly did not mock the death of Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made light of it. When I PM'd you you said I was missing the point but never explained your point. So will you match my donation or not?

At no point did I mock the tragic passing of Chris. I made light of the game of football. I've selected the charity so if you wish to donate that would be appreciated. If not that's entirely your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifes Elite Force Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 KH does look utterly raging there tbf Not sure what this argument is about, where in Jimmy85s post does it mock someone commiting suicide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Nothing tasteless about that comment. He's merely stating that it shouldn't take as serious an issue as a player's death (regardless of circumstances) for people to agree that football isn't the be-all and end-all.
