Orly 291 Posted January 22, 2019 It's horrible news, but the financial implications on Cardiff crossed my mind as well. Doesn't detract from it being a tragedy if confirmed. Let's just hope everyone is found safe and well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, I get what you're saying about that but the point is, it didn't really need bringing up in the first place. The most important people in this are the families of the (potential) victims. Any other speculation on the financial side of things is...well... simply not needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
River End Canary 18 Posted January 22, 2019 People mentioned the human element I just expanded the debate to say there is also a financial impact on Cardiff. i appreciate snowflakes would miss the systemic nature of my comment 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,836 Posted January 22, 2019 It's all very well about being systemic, but compassion is what is needed in the first place. Talking about finances at times like this is crass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 598 Posted January 22, 2019 This is a sad story and real for the families and friends of both people. One of my less consequential football thoughts was ; who would want to be player that replaces him? Very difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 6,145 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) This is an extremely sad story. Watched the clip of him at the weekend excited to be getting to the Premiership and the pictures of him saying goodbye to his former teammates... the French Canaries club, Nantes. The sea and weather conditions last night were bad, with very cold temperatures. It seems impossible he is alive and I just feel for all his friends and relatives. Nantes have cancelled their next match of course. This kind of story puts everything into perspective. Edited January 22, 2019 by sonyc 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,167 Posted January 22, 2019 I heard about this perhaps as little as 10 minutes before I boarded my plane from Kyiv to Heathrow today, it was saddening and also quite unnerving. Anyway, thoughts are with the pilot and his/her family also - as in the Leicester tragedy, sadly, all focus on the news seems to be solely on the footballer, which tells us a lot 👎 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing devil's advocate, as someone who used to work with autistic people for years, calling everyone 'snowflakes' because they don't agree with you doesn't seem an 'autistic thing', at all. Obviously I accept I don't know it all, and I could be wrong. But on the face of it, it seems like a snap, attacking reaction in an attempt to explain away a misjudged, baiting comment. Which would be more true to character. Edited January 23, 2019 by Flying Dutchman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
