    It's getting to the stage where if a player's wifes' second cousins' grandmothers' canary bites the dust there will be calls for a minutes' silence, applause, clappy clappy or silent prayer. As a country we are too fond of morbidity and sentimentality and we need to snap out of it

    The Fabrice Muamba one confused me as well. The media attention around it all was well OTT.

    A poor lad at Accrington Stanley was in a similar tragedy earlier this season when he was on a drip on the pitch for half an hour and was in a critical condition. The news hardly gave a damn about it!

    Don't get me started on Liverpool (self pity city). The most pretentious club in British football.

    I think it should be observed and respected I'm not into the INS and outs of it but 96 people like me and you went to a game and never come home. It should never have happened or happen again. If all that is asked is we observe a minute silence for these fellow supporters then it should be observed.

    It's all the fun of feeling pious and sympathetic about a terrible event without any actual personal involvement or pain.

    I would have one for Ade

    No better programme for a 14 year old than Bottom.
