Cardiff City's new signing Emiliano Sala

[Chripper 73]

The light aircraft he was travelling in to sign for the club went down in the English channel.

He looks like a nice lad. 

Personally I think Cardiff City have a lot to answer for. Why wasn't he on a private jet? Why not even a commercial airline? 

They're in the EPL, they can't afford an Easyjet ticket?

He had already signed for them, at the weekend. He was there player. This was him arriving to begin playing with them after tying up his loose ends at Nantes.

Im not an aviation expert but is there much difference between the plane he was travelling on and a private jet? I don’t know myself. 

I would imagine he wasn’t going commercially as I doubt there are many direct flights from Nantes to Cardiff, this was probably the most direct option of getting there. And would no doubt be far dearer than an EasyJet ticket.

Blaming Cardiff for this seems a bit of a stretch. For Christ sake, wait and see what details come out before jumping to such nonsense.

To be fair to me, a lot of Cardiff fans are blaming their own club for this.

It's a shame. Period.

Exactly.

Clearly it was Brendan Rogers, not Cardiff to blame...

[ger intae them 27]

... and poster, is the correct supplementary answer.

It was RIP post, in essence.

If you want to take cheap shots at me anywhere else on this forum, you're more than welcome, but for you to do it in a thread about a young man who has died, you're out of line.

And out of respect for the young lad, I won't be arguing on this thread.

If people want to shit all over this thread, go for it. I won't be biting.

RIP Emiliano Sala.

In that case Cardiff fans are fucking stupid as well. No more news on the incident and we're blaming the football club. Ridiculous.

You've lost the plot.

You were the one posting utter nonsense. Don't take the huff when you're pulled up about it.

[Chripper 73]

I am literally lost for words.

In, what is essentially a RIP thread about a young man, a man on the cusp of his dreams, and a man who looked like a really lovely lad. Certainly people have taken the opportunity to shit all over it, all because they have a personal dislike of me.

That is really, really low, and the people who have taken shots at me in this thread should be ashamed of themselves, as they've pretty much spat all over the young man.

Tell you what, those who have taken shots at me in this thread, why don't you PM me and tell me exactly what your grievances are. If not, I call cowardice.

Yes, Posting a post about a young man who has died. What a stupid thing to do.

Let's see if you PM me, mate.

If I could quickly summarise this thread;  maybe it can then be closed  down.

” LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME “ .........“ EVERYONE  LOOK AT ME”

It wasn't a post saying RIP.

It was a post accusing folk being at blame despite knowing fuck all facts.

 

[thplinth 113]

I like how it morphs into a 'RIP' thread and the 'young man' is suddenly being used to deflect away from the crass opening post, how very touching.

[Tartan_McCole 58]

Anyway, didn't the Cardiff chairman come out and say that Sala made his own travel arrangements?

Chrippers post comes across pretty badly, but it was probably just poorly thought out as opposed to with any malice.

You have to be at the wind up.

"Spat all over the young man"

"Cowardice"

"personal dislike"

Yes.

Facts though, who needs those.

First thing I do when saying RIP is find somebody to blame with no facts.

Just noticed he's double downed on the madness and is now blaming everyone else for his ill advised post

Reading a report that he was texting his friends from the plane along the lines of ‘ I really dont feel safe, feels like the plane is falling apart’  😳 What a fucking nightmare

Seemingly said that if they don't hear from him within an hour or so then they'll know what's happened. Really hope the message was more in jest than anything else.
