    A nice touch by a classy club and manager

    I remember when our players used to have that kind of spirit.

    Come to think of it, weren't we once after Knockaert?
  • I remember when we were a classy club. "Meire - what have you done to make me feel proud?"

    No, he was at Standard Liege and our scouts still couldn't find someone with talent.
  • Class act that they travelled for a mate. But is it really the time for a group pic?!
  • Classy club are Brighton

    My thoughts exactly. Not implicating the players in this as I'm sure there intentions were genuine, but the 'classy' way to behave at a funeral is not to take a group pic outside the church and then release it to the media for a bit of positive PR.
  • Great club, that is class.

    I would tend to agree save the fact that Knockaert is in the middle of the picture and judging by his comments on twitter on Saturday and since, he probably insisted on one being taken as a sign of their solidarity.

    Maybe. I'm feeling particularly curmudgeonly today so I might just be being miserable. Of all the ills in the world, it's pretty close to the bottom of the list anyway.

    Fair enough then if it came from AK.

    Fair enough but in the top pic they all look like they're on a jolly up, still if AK is "happy" ..............

    Ak also looks like he's on a Jolly up. Him and the rest of his family is the most important thing in this, Only on a Charlton life could such a good and thoughtful deed be turned into something negative............
    Of course it is but I know when i lost my Dad the last thing I wanted to be doing was larking around at his funeral. just think it's strange behaviour. obviously we all deal with loss in a different way.
  • not my relative but a good freind whos 24 lost his dad earlier this year to pancreatic cancer so was a very sudden shock 2 weeks from diagnosis to his passing, the funeral was held at falconwood and everyone that attended had to wear an england rugby top as its what his dad wanted, then hired the pier in greenhithe out and put £1500 behind the bar and had a gazebo outside and was very much a party atmosphere. its as people say how people deal with things.

    You've hit the nail on the head which is why I don't understand the criticism. AK wouldn't have been smiling or in fact tweeting about it if he wasn't happy with them turning up. Also it's two photo's, so I think it's strange to assume they've gone for a jolly up especially with a man like Chris Hughton being there.

    Sorry for your loss.

    Well it's not a criticism I just find it a bit strange but top marks for his team mates supporting him. End of the day we could just go round in circles with this so I'll say no more :smile:

    & thanks by the way :smile:
