November 25, 200520 yr They didn't have a minutes silence when my cat "nigger" died. http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID...tn=index-topten
November 25, 200520 yr As a youngster I remember him from Peter Nicholson's testimonial. His and PN's were the last two autographs I was waiting for. Georgie Boy was leaving with yep a babe. However he signed my programme and after enquiring who I was waiting for went back and came back with PN. Not only that but he sorted me out with a lift home. I got the mother of all rollockings of my mother. It was worth every chore I had to do as penance. Yeah he was a womanising alcoholic but those vices ( and the fact he played for the scum ) aside he was a top bloke
November 25, 200520 yr spose it depends on what you want to judge him on http://football.guardian.co.uk/comment/sto...1646611,00.html
November 25, 200520 yr Let him RIP he was a genius at what he did, nobody can argue that, but he had an illness for christs sake - alcoholism.
November 25, 200520 yr I cant say i tend to feel anything when someone i dont even know dies. There will be many losses of friends and family ahead of me and my grief is reserved for them. When the nation mourned Princess Diana, i felt nothing, i couldnt understand all the people who cried, and wrung their hands. it just seemed so ridiculous to me. Some people feel 'touched' by folk theyve never even met, they feel some sort of connection to them, for whatever reason. And thats perfectly fine- but its just not for me. As for George Best. I am not glad he's dead, i am not sorry he's dead. I dont feel anything, he was no part of my life and therefore he's no part of it now he has passed on. Its his family who are suffering,i feel sorry for them, but i wont lose sleep over it. It is of no relevance to me what he did in his private life. The only opinion i have of his life/career/behaivour etc- is that someone else couldve had that liver. I donate blood regularly, im on the bone marrow register ( both of these came about when Northamptons daughter was very ill- and ive kept it up- and always will) Ive had an organ doner card since i was 13, and i am on the official register. I support the cause of giving life through death. And that forms my only opinion of him- that he was given the gift of life, and spat on it. As i say, that doesnt mean im glad he's gone, and i may sound heartless now, but i dont care. Ill care about the people who love me and love me back. I'll grieve when its painful, and raw, and relevant to my own life. Just like Besties family will be doing now. So, to them, to the people left behind, to the gaping chasm of pain in their hearts. I wish you peace, and hope you heal.
November 25, 200520 yr I wonder if people will take the same pity on Gazza when he pops his clogs!? Similar track records! Beer, drugs, women, wife beating and football legends! I doubt it! I totally feel 'nothing'! He was given a 'lifeline' and he still chose to piss it up! Quite a pathetic character in reality! I sympathise with his family and loved ones who had to endure years of his problems and in the end his self inflicted death! I for one will shed no tear and will respect the minutes silence merely for those people who died in similar circumstances who did'nt have a second chance to live!
November 25, 200520 yr Yeah he was a womanising alcoholic but those vices ( and the fact he played for the scum ) aside he was a top bloke Vices Met him when he had his club, Oscars , in Manchester. He used to stand at the door to welcome in the punters. He was at the height of his fame and he still had time for both his fans, of which I was'nt because he played for the Reds and the customers who came through the door. He was bigger then, than any current so-called super stars but he never let it go to his head. He just over indulged in everything and paid the inevitable price.
November 25, 200520 yr Are the munichs going to have candlelight vigils and grief counselling? Life moves on and at the end of the day he was a munich.
November 25, 200520 yr F??ck him Just think of the poor soul who could of had the liver he was given, if he/she had a second chance they probably wouldn't of gone on the p??ss.
November 25, 200520 yr This'll cheer you up Billy! A statement from the Premier League read: "In light of the sad news of George Best passing away referees have been requested to conduct a one minute???s silence prior to the kick off at all of this weekend???s Premier League matches. I can understand at his old clubs but at all the other ones as well!!! [-X thank fcuk we're away sunday or these cranks would have to tell the mass majority of bolton fans to observe it owd elsie bigglesthwaite died last week, are we having a minutes silence next home game for her? And we're away at one of his former clubs! Oh dear!
November 25, 200520 yr I wonder if people will take the same pity on Gazza when he pops his clogs!? Similar track records! Beer, drugs, women, wife beating and football legends! I doubt it! Gascoigne is a legend. He's also a pisshead. The difference is, when he dies it will undoubtably be with all his own body bits; not the bits of some poor accident victim who's family, were they ever to find out their son/daughter died but allowed George Best to carry on drinking, would be ever so pleased! And before anyone tells me that Best had alcoholism as an illness, I had an uncle who was an alcoholic. I know that with a hell of a lot of help and a bit more will power, an alcoholic will soon become a non-drinking alcoholic.
November 25, 200520 yr don't condone his behaviour but as a footballing legend and a human being, rip
November 25, 200520 yr Way I see it, fair enough, he was a top footballer, he may have been a top bloke.. you can go down the 'last orders' in town and meet a few top blokes but they still f??ckhead alcoholic wasters. True.. now he is gone.. get the obituary out in the paper etc but at this very moment.. people are dying all over the world, or starving, like in Nigeria.. the death of someone who had everything and pissed it up the wall, holds more sway in the media than how tens of thousands of people are starving and dying in the world. So RIP George Best you pisspot. Respect - you was top at footie and could pull the lasses ( when you wasn't smelling of stale urine ), now lets bury the c??nt and worry about the living.
November 25, 200520 yr a minutes silence is a scandal. i don't feel anything, and i am in know way glad he has gone, but this is too far. nicked something of the flight home today from portugal that did give me a little chuckle. the little leaflet advertising the tele on board! inflight entertainment... 'Living Legends: George Best' #-o
November 25, 200520 yr Ironic, though, that he died the day after the pubs started opening for 24 hours a day.
November 25, 200520 yr just seen Callum Best on TV - how yellow did he look? a very close relative of mine died waiting for a new liver. that Irish pisspot wasted his chance. I have not one ounce of sympathy for him. hope my relative kicks him in his knackers when he pops upstairs!
November 26, 200520 yr I have no feelings one way or the other for George Best. I didn't know him and have never met him. I don't admire him him because of the way he wasted his talent. That talent allowed him to escape the back streets of Belfast where he would have been dodging bullets and come to England and play for one of the biggest clubs in the world and also get paid a king's ransom of a salary. Yet he could not be bothered to turn up for two hours training every day and eventually walked away from football.
November 26, 200520 yr George Best only played for Man Utd against Bolton once at first team level. He was aged 17 and scored twice in a 5-0 victory for them in February 1964. There was a bigger gate for the game at Burnden than Old Trafford that season.

November 26, 200520 yr I didnt know George Best. Nor did I know this little lad But given that one had fame, fortune, shagged 4 Miss Worlds, had Pele call him "the best footballer I ever saw" and lived to 59 only to finally succumb to a self-inflicted problem while the other had a murderously short life curtailed by the indignity of ending up as vulture shit, I know who I would feel the most sorry for. The one thing that links us all on here is that 100 years from now we'll all be dead. It's what happens - it's part of the deal. You can't whinge about it but you can hope to have a decent innings with a decent chance to make the best of whatever good cards fate has dealt you. And Best did that. Maybe he died somewhat before his time...well I think the lad above would have been happy to live that long. So while I take no particular pleasure in his going, I certainly dont give a shit about it.
