Frank's cousin Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 Time to show our class as fans I think. Given how lucky we have been, the goodwill and the new owner who we will no doubt show our appreciation for... just thought it might be a decent thing to give Johnny a quick chorus on Saturday to show that we appreciate thats some things transcend football? He would get to hear about it and it cant do any harm to know fans out there are thinking of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 Why? Might seem harsh, but people are dying all over the world, why not sing a song in support of the Armed forces or something. I'm not saying don't do it, just raising the point of where do you draw the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - but we are at a football match and this is a footballer hense the link - and we have been kinda lucky lately, might get us some credit with the foottie gods if spread a bit of that around... and its just a decent thing to do IMHO.

I'm all for being decent but singing about a player is a bit odd to say the least. I would rather we sung there is one Naomi House. if he does pass away then if football decides to have a minutes silence i will adhere to it, but singing his name is a little ridiculous.

Whilst we all feel for the situation with John it seems a little irregular to randomly sing his name. Not like were playing West Ham or a previous club of his OK then, so it's fine to have sung a negative song over and over again, season after season, about a team down the road, even though we do not play them and they are in a completely different division, and it gives them a recognition they don't deserve, but it's not OK to be positive about a footballer who has always tried his best and is at the very least respected, and may appreciate the compliment we send him..?

Exactly - it's not as if we are suggesting that the whole game is devoted to JH - but as FC has pointed out - it would be a nice touch and show some class.

He isn't dead, and there are thousands of people suffering from exactly the same thing or worse. He wasn't anything special to us, so why should we show "appreciation" for him?

SaintDonkey Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 I think a gesture of support toward Hartson would be a excellent and appropriate gesture. (and since he's mates with WGS perhaps a nice way to welcome our new manager ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying don't do it, just raising the point of where do you draw the line. I'm not singing in support of those muppets who CHOOSE to go out and get shot at; couldn't give one iota about them. Young lads dying due to mass conscription in either of the World Wars maybe, not this lot nowadays.

Each to thier own. I think that the OP's idea was to offer a little moral support now, at JH's most critical hour of need, support that he may well hear about and get a boost from, as opposed to assume the worst, whereupon your suggestion will of course be most appropriate. But, as I say, each to thier own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Jazzbo Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 Whilst I have no problem with John Hartson, and my heart goes out to him and his family in respect of his current circumstances. Why is it when someone becomes seriously ill, or dies, they suddenly become 'alright' in everybody's eyes? The Jade Goody thing is a good example, or even Michael Jackson.

the stain Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 Here's an idea, rather than this going off topic and turning into an unseemly slanging match... why doesn't everyone who wants to sing do that, while everyone who doesn't want to can just let them do it. That way nobody has to wrestle with their morals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
