Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Really can't stop thinking about this, It's just awful. Really dunno how you can mentally deal with this or ever get over it. Really hope the little lad pulls through.
 
Would be a good idea to close this thread or something? Just gonna seem a bit strange if it goes back to laughing at city fans after this?
 
They have removed the thread. A mod posted up a message a while ago in the thread that people were joining up to take the piss.

What kind of fecker would find that funny

Of course. I get constantly puzzled by the abuse I (or anyone) get when blogging humorous articles about people's teams. Football is an inherently ludicrous obsession we all have, but an inherently ludicrous one all the same. It's millionaires kicking an inflated balloon around grass. It should never cloud anyone's feelings on the real things that matter in life, or indeed real people. This poor bloke must be going through hell, and though internet forums always strike me as an odd place to cathartize (not a word) if it helps, I hope he gets as much as he can possibly get there, and I'm glad to see people on here giving the blues credit for being good genuine people. Because they are, as much as anyone else is. Who really gives a feck what football team you support?

People have been taking the piss? That is absolutley disgracefull, sureley they could almost be a police matter? if you did it in person it defo would be.

And yer i completely agree, Never gone along with hatred of fans as people. If I saw a guy in a Liverpool shirt passed out on the street it's not gonna even enter my thoughts to not help because he is wearing thier shirt.
 
"I have lost my wife, my 8 year old daughter, in a car accident on motorway my 3 year old son is in intensive care i have my 16 month old son with me he wasn't in the accident. Been at hospital all day just got back my mam and dad are away in gambia i don't know what to do with myself. "


Can't do the fancy quotes.... but.... er, if that happened to me, I don't think I'd be on the web posting about it.

Very strange.

Sorry if it's true, but it seems like a load of complete bollix to me.

It's actually one of my biggest bug bears people genuinely holding genuine hate for fans of opposing football teams. It's panto hate, and it should always stay as such.

Unfortunately the internet, and the anonymity it gives, always leaves the stage open for the most cretinous parts of society to have their say. Just look at youtube comments on....well, anything.
 
Sorry if that's genuine... but never got to see the original post.

Don't think your in any position to speculate, and I'm also gonna say we also can't even begin to imagine how something like that would make your feel/act. But I can imagine being able to say whatevers in your head to people you dont have any real contact with may feel like a bit of a healer. Bit out of order to suggest what you've said there mate.

Well thing is is I hate City, Thier fans annoy me but only when thier sort of in thier fan's movement, still wouldnt stop me being friends with one. I have great football conversations with Arsenal and Liverpool fans that are full of banter . Doesnt stop me shouting/chanting at them in a stadium but then that is a collective group so seems different, Your purely mocking thier fandom not thier human side.

He's just lost his family. I don't think his 16 month son is in a position to have an in depth conversation with him. He's alone and he's just lost everything. I'm guessing that he feels at home there and had to have some human interaction to stop himself feeling suicidal or losing it. Have some fecking respect. Keep those kind of feelings to yourself, you don't call shenanigans on something like that.

'I've just lost my entire family.'

'No, I don't think you have.'

That's bang out of order.
 
Wow, my thoughts go out to that man - he must be feeling pretty awful right now. To lose so many loved ones in one go must be devastating. Hopefully he can pull through the tough times and fair play to the City supporters that are reaching out to give him support.

It really puts things into perspective - in the end, this is only a game and has no impact on the more important things in life. I'll tell you what - that man will not give a damn if City go on to win the title. The UTD>KIDS>WIFE banner is funny and all but I really feel bad for the man who truly believes that with all his heart.

RIP and best wishes buddy
 
I've seen people post on the internet about dying of cancer and on one occasion actually post about being dead, only for it all to turn out to be nonsense. Unfortunately people do sometimes lie about that sort of thing.

Makes you feel almost guilty for feeling so upset or worried about something as trival as football.

I get the feeling with this it isnt, People on there have spoke to him personally.
 
There is no way anyway that the thread was a lie. And the only comments on here should be that of sympathy.

If you have nothing but that to say perhaps just dont post anything at all

Maybe not, just saying it's not so ridiculous to suggest its not true.

Well I reckon they thought something was suspect when a guy posted that he was dead

It was supposedly a friend of the guy who came on and said the guy had died, only for the 'dead' guy to return.

My experiences last summer almost made me depressed everyday because of the situations the people I was helping were in. I learned sooner or later that the world is not a very nice place and thinking about it will only make you feel worse. So I rarely try to think about these things since they'll only depress me - I'm still doing my best to volunteer and help more unfortunate people out - but every now and then I have 'lapses' and feel guilty about about any sort of enjoyment when I remember that people across the world are struggling to live. I suppose it's something that everyone just has to learn to deal with.
 
Read through that thread. Theres really no words for this kind of thing.

I'm glad his kid survived, and my thoughts go out to him really.

Put's the beautiful game into perspective.

Yes but why would you suggest such a thing? It may or may not be true but have some sensitivity man. I know you consider yourself a cynicist but if the situation indeed is true, then you end up not only looking like a right cnut but hurting other people even more.
 
Er, I didn't read the original thread cos I think someone said it's gone.

I've read some crazy untrue shit on the web.

The internet isn't "human interaction".

I have respect for real people. Real things that mean something to me. If anthing like this happened to me, I wouldn't be on the computer talking to a lemon like you looking for some sympathy. Sorry.

And, stop being such a drama queen. What I'm saying here doesn't make a blind bit of difference to anyone.

I'm not suggesting it is or that it isn't, I'm stating facts - it might be bullshit, people lie on the internet. As for hurting the guy, I don't think what people say to him on the internet will do anything to hurt him even more, much less comments on a Manchester United website. It's not as though I have signed up and started posting in his thread asking for proof or saying he is lying.

If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.

It's the natural reaction of a nice person to feel at least a bit of guilt about success or indulgence or even enjoyment, but it's not a bad thing to experience any of those, unless it comes at the expense of someone else. We can all enjoy football, it's just when people go to the level of getting genuinely angry or insulting about what other people think of certain teams or players (or beyond football, about acting, or singing, or dancing, or any other rather trivial unpersonal matters) that you can genuinely question said people's perspectives. Having a bit of perspective about your own troubles in the scheme of things is something everyone should strive for...Having a bit of perspective about the differences you have with others over a sport is the least that should be expected, and anyone who doesn't is seriously lost.

I'll tell you what mate, I'll post what I want within the rules of the forum, you follow your own advice and pipe down instead of self righteously moaning at me.

So basically, you're just a dick. Talking to people about something that's just fecked up your life, is talking to lemons looking for some sympathy is it? So I guess the threads in the general about similar situations where tragic events have happened to fellow Caftards are all made up or lemons looking for sympathy?

Grow up. Also, the internet and forums consist of humans, interacting with other humans. I've read some crazy untrue shit on the web as well, it doesn't mean that if you post that your wife and kids have died and you're in a bad place that you're lying.
 
Yeah, close the internet. Someone may or may not have died.

Next time there's a crash in London, we should stop discussing Arsenal.

You grow up, you oul one.
