Things are getting to be a bit of a joke

[santy]

I dunno if I'm alone here but things like recently where the woman died serving in our army, now i have the utmost respect for people who serve in the army and its unfortunate that there have been more deaths, but the way the media have been focusing so much on the death of the woman is so disrespectful to the 3 other men that died that I think its rediculous, regardless of gender all 4 died for the country yet the blokes seem to get a glossing over mention whilst they make a big fuss about the woman that died - as I said its unfortunate, but its disrespectful to the others who gave their lives really.

Then there is the deal with paul ince being the first black manager, I got fed up with this story the day it appeared about him possibly being the first black manager in the premiership; like it matters any at all what colour the blokes skin is, it was good to see he didnt play on it but surely there are more important things to ask a new manager other than his ethnic background, I don't know what they were expecting to the news that the prem had its first black manager, outrage, joy? I'm sure most people don't give a toss if he was black, red, blue or green.

Just watched sky sports news & sky news and these things have just bugged me a lot recently.

I didn't even realise Ince was the first black manager.

The 3 blokes who died were SAS reservists so it had to be kept pretty quiet.

I said exactly the same thing Santy. FOUR people died that day, its a tragedy on all counts but FOUR people deserve to be remembered, not just the one.

I repeat...the 3 men were SAS reservists.

As such it needs to be kept reasonably quiet. You don't go shouting that 3 of your most highly trained soldiers have been killed.

Further, no press were allowed at the funerals of the 3 men as members of the SAS carried the coffins and there identity has to be kept as low key as possible.

i didn't even know the SAS had a TA section till these three lads died .

As stated above it had to be kept quiet who they were for a while . but all 4 were heroes following orders to the best of their abilities . More blood on Tony's hands
