Open a different thread if you really must.
It's a bit hard to stomach when it's a player you've known and who you've watched growing up.
It's genuinely rather difficult to accept Gary Speed's premature death. Condolences to his family, he will be sorely missed.
RIP
@ the Mods
Just out of interest why is it unacceptable to make jokes about GS's death but acceptable to make jokes/derogatory comments over, say, Amy Winehouse's or Michael Jackson's deaths?
GB replies - I haven't removed any posts. But I would guess that because this is a football forum and we are dealing with a situation that people would likely have more of an emotional attachment to what has happened to Gary Speed. Likewise, I suspect I would not be looked upon too favorably if I was on a MJ forum or related music forum and proceeded to make jokes about his death.
You asked a perfectly valid question and I hope I've answered it satisfactorily for you. If not, could you please ask further follow-up Qs in the Feedback section? --> http://www.goonersweb.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=27
Sub, there was a specific thread opened for Michael Jackson jokes (at least on the old GW). I've said you can do the same for this, if you really want. I can't say I remember reading the MJ thread much/if at all on here (presumably for the trial).
General Chat is going to have more rambles in it, it's General Chat - I don't think it should spread to every other section though, all the time, especially the football specific ones.
