Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[Mac]

I beg to differ Risso.

I thought that it summed up my feeling totally.  

(I was not the OP either)

[Mac]

I'd also add that the RIP message deflected criticsm from the content and misleading quotes on the back.  It was a poorly thought out piece of paper that was distributed.   - Not  petty point scoring but my opinion.

I seem to recall that Doug's slip of the tongue "Nobody is less ambitious for Villa than I am" was the first point on the back.  Funny ha ha, but it was a slip he made it years ago.  Does anybody actually believe that's what he meant?

What was worse Mac, a small tribute to Terry on a piece of card handed out to 1000's of fans, or the sight of Villa fans slagging each other off because of it, on a message board that his daughter had posted on that same week?

[Mac]

Well if you didn't have the former, the latter wouldn't have occured.

As the former did, if we didn't have the latter then perhaps VFC had have thought that everybody thought it was hunky dory.

As I said - it appears that the VFC, even with hindsight, still don't think they did anything wrong.  And that's the really sad thing about all of this.

Who are YOU to say it's wrong?  I don't remember seeing anything from the family about it, and to be honest, they're the only opinions that count.

So why weren't they consulted? And that's my only view on the matter.

A fan?

I think Pete puts it best (as usual)

 I know that the comment was not meant in any way to insult the memory of Terry Weir, or to upset his family. I am genuinely sorry if it did upset them. It's a hard call to know whether to "ask permission" (if such a thing is needed) to write (for example) "Pete Bland RIP" on a document, or (heaven forbid) in a Newspaper obit, or wherever, or just to simply go ahead. The person who added it, genuinely felt sorrow at his passing and wanted to express that, simply. Would asking permission have been an intrusion? It's not an easy protocol.

I can see why some people would find it inappropriate, but I can't see that it justified the self righteous invective that followed it on here, with people pretending to be oh so outraged, when really, it was just another excuse to have a pop at VFC.

I can't see that that's really got much to do with it, in this instance.

Maybe not on the card but i doubt anyone would've criticised if the tributewas in the press release before the boro game.

Can we please move this debate on from something which has been picked over endlessly, if only out of respect for the man? Thank you.

Agreed.

Ooh, Dave said it best (as usual).  Suit you, sir!  

Actually, Risso says it best…













…when he says nothing at all.

I'm bereft of ribs, ooh me sides, stitch me back up etc.
