[coventryrover]

Reports on 5 live is that she died this morning due to a stroke

[podrover73]

They will be dancing in the streets of Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Wakefield,  South Wales, Scotland.

[gillinghamrover]

Thank f**k for that and may the bitch rot in hell.

[adamtherover]

[streatham dave]

Knew this would be on here. Ha.  Night night.

[ravenrover]

I hope this is quickly moved out of this section to Off Topic

[SingingPostman]

As a long standing subscriber to the 'Is She Dead Yet?' website, it's been a joy to open the site and see the word 'Yes'.

[podrover73]

I hope this is quickly moved out of this section to Off Topic

Maybe it is relevent to be in this topic as many people were put out of work by this woman therefore depriving Rovers of support for many years since.

A 10 minute applause before the match perhaps?

[ss1953]

Just remember she stopped this country sliding into Stalinist Scargill led society.
This allowed JR to actually make a few million pounds which is subsisidising your Rovers pleasure.

Only when Scargill dies will I open the Bolly.

[MartinB]

Well I for one am not going to pop open the champagne...might have a nice glass of milk though 

[RoversGirl1991]

Does anyone think they'll attempt a minutes silence? I'd like to see them bloody try. Being born and raised in South Wales and now having a very close connection to Donny I for one will be making plenty of noise

So weve got to thank that bitch for our pleasure of watching rovers, what a load of b*llocks.

[IDM]

Sick...

Don't get me wrong, I abhorred what Maggie and her government did to the country and to our communities but to celebrate someone's death, in a democracy, is a bit out of order.

Celebrate her political downfall yes, death, no.

Does her death change what she did in power? does it really?  No.  Had the tories been voted out in '87 and the political wrongs put right, would you be celebrating her death now?

This should move to off topic, it is not about football...

[Mirsad Bubalovic]

Celebrate her political downfall yes, death, no.

Bravo. Civilised people don't celebrate deaths, anyone who does should be ashamed.

[MartinB]

Thatcher is and always be linked with football though. ID cards, fences, Hillsborough...even the famous Norwegian commentary when they beat England mentioned Thatcher! So not really off topic.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

It's politics.....

I don't agree with rejoicing in her depth, but I understand why many do whatever my thoughts politically about what she did and didn't do.  The typical Doncaster person will hate her and that is fully their choice. 

I don't think it's fair for people my age really to be commenting given it happened before my time and we see things completely differently to what those who lost jobs etc do.

[MrFrost]

At the end of the day, what is reveling in her death going to achieve? Her policies were implemented, her death won't change that. And death is a fate everyone has coming.

Maybe its about time people moved on and forgot her now.

Her football related policies yes, her death, no..

[Wiltshire Exile]

I just cannot believe that the number of sick people on this forum who are rejoicing at the death of Margaret Thatcher. Hang your heads in shame the lot of you.

[MrFrost]

Exactly. I suppose those who wanted her dead want the same fate for those who voted her in as well.

How crass to align some one who has done well with that vile witch, where is the connection apart from wealth? I always thought John was a self made man? no?

[IDM]

Ding dong the bitch is dead   

Sam, can I ask you, would you be offended if someone celebrated the death one of your relatives?  I am no way related to Maggie but she does have family...

As I said, I abhorred what Mrs T did, but to celebrate a death, is sick.

Please don't forget the part played by a certain Mr Scargill in all of this I have no sympathy for the woman but certainly will not rejoice in hers or anyone alses death!

[roversam]

, i had Friends and relatives who were miners during the strike need i say more.

[MrFrost]

, i had Friends and relatives who were miners during the strike need i say more.

So, that makes it okay to rejoice in her death? What do you actually know about the miners strike?
