They should have listened to you

What if the current boss of Emirates said something similar?

 

Oh wait he has

where does he suggest the yanks shot it down?

I never said he did

[Spider]

I never said he did

If he said it's been shot down, I might lend the idea some credibility

 

As it is, a nobody who needs a few quid is doing it.

 

Anyway, those ITK know that it landed in North Korea and the passengers are being turned into soup or spies

[Spider]

Well that's a bit shit in Columbia

Imagine being fans of that club. Whole team decimated.

 

Sad news indeed.

It would be grim if anything like that happens to the team you follow

 

Although it happened to a certain team down the road, and now nearly 60 years later some of our fans still like to sing songs about it

It happened to Torino in 1949(?) and took them years to recover.

If only the Muslim countries had decided to play against Israel in the 1958 world cup qualifiers then Israel would not have had to play against Wales for the sole Africa/Asia qualifying spot, and Jimmy Murphy would have travelled with his club team. Instead, as Wales manager he did not, and was able to keep his club viable in the short term.

I wonder if anyone thinks that this plane crash has been rigged to bury news of the rayguns grooming kids somewhere

It was a BAe146.

Ive read other Brazilian teams are waiving loan fees so players can join them to let the club continue. A fine gesture but i cant imagine how difficult it would be to turn out for the club any time soon.

 

PSG also donated 40 million

[MancWanderer]

Read somewhere that their opponents in the upcoming Cup Final have asked that the trophy be awarded to them

 

No idea if it's true but a nice gesture if so

[DazBob]

Attention seekers.

[bolty58]

Nice one Malcolm. I have mentioned Superga to a few people over the years and received blank looks in return. Yet everyone remembers the Munich air disaster.

 

In South America, a great gesture by the other team they were due to play in suggesting they take the trophy. In the history of Chapecoense, that trophy will take on almost religious significance in the future. A poignant symbol of remembrance.

 

Great to see the football community around the world coming together to assist.

 

I wonder if sympathy from around the world will make them into a powerful, wealthy club?

[Traf]

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly sent them 3 million Euro.

Yup. I read that too. Forfeiting the match so that they can win it by default.

 

I hope I never live to see something like that happen to my team.

He's a self centred cunt that's only done that for his own self importance.

 

 

Remember that

Obvs, innit.

 

Anyway, when I first saw the title Plane Down, I though it was going to be telling us how Heather Mills gets her leg so silky smooth.

[bgoefc]

Tragic that the plane ran out of fuel.

 

Apparently it abandoned a refuelling stop as it was behind schedule and the airport in Bolivia did not operate in daylight hours. Then when at its destination in Columbia air traffic control would not let it land even though the pilot told them of its predicament as another plane had earlier told them it had mechanical difficulties and had priority. Human error all round.

I bet that air traffic controller feels wonderful

He'll have been murdered already.

[Zico]

the daily mail managed to find a "silver lining" in that the co-pilot was fit

as much as I like a perve, I cannot see any reason to go with that angle
