I think, at its core, it's a good thing. It's a normal, decent way for people top react. If we do anything here, as a rule, we maybe just drag it out longer than we need to.

I'm a Villa fan as you know, I actually go to the games and I take issue with it. It doesn't need to be done every game.
If Dave from work is ill do you write 'Get well soon Dave' on a shirt and lift it up when you execute a business deal? F
uck no, it's all for other people to see, that's why it's cringey. If you care, donate some money to a cancer charity or something.

I think what happened to Muamba was a shock. For a football fan, you dont like to witness that happen on TV, and it's natural to want to wish him well. We all pay to watch football and footballers, and for all they **** we give them, I think its natural to make a connection like that with one of them when something like that happens. To pay a tribute or whatever. Same with Petrov. The man has cancer. That isn't a nice scenario. However, how long is Villa Park gonna continue the tributes in the 19th minute? They can't keep it up forever, can they?

See, this is the thing. Most people had never heard of him yet rushed to Twitter to show everyone how much they care about it. It's false. I mentioned some no mark celebrity and the Gaddafi tweet before, same principle. It's like a competition to see who can grieve the most.

We maybe drag things on, when its probably time to move on, or else we arent just responding like decent people, we are dwelling in something unneccessarily. Look at Hillsborough. And look at the fans who would take my legs for even daring to mention it unless it's a completely, unmistakeably complimentary and praising way.

lol
Liverpool fans like to give out death threats on social media websites and stalk your online profiles if you dare to mention Hillsborough in any other light than what their Justice campaigners say
