Six minutes

[Glyn_Wigley]

I've just heard at the Den on Saturday and maybe some other grounds (definitely Brum as it was their idea) that there will be a minutes applause on six minutes in memory of the little boy Arthur who was murdered.
It would be nice if you all took part as well.

Absolutely will. Something worthy of applause, unlike the pathetic BLM stuff we are forced to sit through.

Such a tragic waste of a life and as always, the system fails and people paid to do a job get away with it. Absolute scum some of these social workers.

Bout time this dim wit was chucked off this forum surely. Everything he spouts is utter dribble that he clearly picks up from reading The Sun everyday.

Marvellous. An intolerant view from a person criticising somebody that they see as intolerant. Well done.

Judgements about a persons character and presuming they read the Sun. Again, judgment from a person criticising somebody judging others. You can see the hypocrisy here i take it?

If you don't like other people's views then fine. Ignore them instead of subscribing the to the endless cancel culture that seems to pervade society these days.

Just like you've ignored the BLM stuff, eh?

Not to disrespect this appalling crime but I’m not sure that every atrocity can make it into the football arena, there are just too many to be considered more deserving than any other…..
Without trying to sound insensitive ( my daughter works in child protection) I can’t imagine what the clapping is for?
A tragic murder, the parental punishment or the failures within our systems….

But I will respect the majority in this case!

The clapping is to send love and respect to Arthur.  Nothing more, nothing less.

What’s difficult to understand.?

I’ve had a lot of disagreement with the OP too over the years, but why the hell are folks berating him for highlighting this appalling tragedy on here?

As it happens, albeit irrelevant to this thread, we are foster carers so know quite a bit about child protection.

I cried when I saw this story on the news yesterday, that poor little boy so cruelly mistreated and murdered by those closest to him..

The next story was of an Afghan interpreters family who had escaped the Taliban and had been given a home by an extremely generous lady in Scotland.  They had a little boy of a similar age to Arthur..

There is some hope and kindness in this world.  In think we could do with more of that on here.

I get it coming from the Birmingham fans, I get it coming from the local community because they have an association with this terrible tragedy….

Apart from the scum who perpetrate child abuse, we ALL have an association with such a terrible tragedy.

I just don't find somebody who criticises an entire cohort of people, i.e. social workers because of this case worth any time or effort to talk to.

Being married to somebody who has been a social worker, having friends that are social workers I know the incredibly tough time they have and the pressures that they are constantly work under, how understaffed they are and how little money there is in the system to support them.

Clearly this is an awful thing that has happened but to talk about people in such a way is ignorant and abhorrent.

It’s because of people always having to lay the blame  at someone’s door that there’s a shortage of people wanting to carry out this type of very important role and many other roles that winging whining idiots can’t wait to attack
And before anyone asks I have a great knowledge of child protection and the restrictive constraints put on very hard working social workers

That’s not to say that like in all walks of life some aren’t lazy or useless but to categorise them all in this way is a disgrace

We can only hope that the feeling of showing respect extends to the lack of shouting 'scab' at six-year-old Mansfield supporters. Or indeed, Mansfield supporters of any age.

There have probably been quite a few more terrible tragedies all over the UK since….your stance is admirable

I agree.. outdated and unnecessary..
