Agard Days Night Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 No kind gestures should ever be displayed during a sporting event. Before or after is fine, but never during. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before or after is fine, but never during. To be honest. For all that I thought it looked nice, I think we ARE starting to go a bit too far with all his. I've changed my mind on this. But this would have to include ill kids, tragic deaths, old fans, legends? Difficult where to draw the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikson will have been absolutely inundated by goodwill messages since the incident and would have been in no doubt of the sympathy of his friends, team mates, football fans in general, and the media. Absolutely unnecessary to stop the game for yet more sympathy to be displayed as far as I'm concerned. As for the 'telling off' tone of your post - do you automatically believe you are always in the right or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line is we live in a society where a disturbing number of people get oddly offended by pretty much any gesture of compassion or human decency. It is quite sad, really.

Not just that - you have people who claim not to be offended themselves, but have a negative opinion anyway, based on how others may perceive it.

Weird as **** Indeed. 25 Danish players and about six Belgian players are current or former teammates of Eriksen yet apparently many posters feel a need to lecture them on the appropriate way they should express their feelings about watching a teammate nearly die. Two years ago I lost my Dad, Uncle and a friend through cancer in the space of a few months. I am now wondering if I should have posted on here at the time to make sure I was grieving in an appropriate and approved manner… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who , in all seriousness would not be in support of Christian? So what though? Sometimes the obvious needs to be stated. People who nearly watched a teammate die are having to play five days later on the exact same pitch. It is never going to be a normal game and was bound to have been on players’ minds so it makes sense to mark it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 The wider argument here is are we using football more and more as a platform to make gestures. Hey, I'm not claiming to be right or wrong. A good debate, in my opinion. I'm only little old me, folks I'm OFTEN wrong, but I like to be able to admit it when I could be.

I think the Finnish players clapping the Danes back on to the field of play second half, and all the goal celebration mentions should have been the last of it, imo But that is only my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case it is following a traumatic event which will give ptsd to players, officials, spectators and viewers on TV and being told exactly how they should mark stuff, trying to control reactions and recovery to it. Massively wrong as it's down to the individual as to how they process it and not for others to decide on their behalf. Yep, and you very much appear to be one of them Ralph. I've processed the incident and, while I have every sympathy with Eriksen, I've decided that stopping the game today was OTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
