Any thread about any old Tom Dick or Harry dying here usually generates about 3 pages of "ynwa" "rip". If a national tragedy like this doesn’t merit a pause for thought and bit of respect then God help us.
(and given the repeated gripes about lack of respect for Hillsborough etc posted on here the cynicism and lack of respect is all the more surprising).

Exactly, a number of innocent people just on their way to work are slaughtered yet it's too much to 'ask' not 'demand' if people will have a 2 minute's silence.. yet this request is met with complete cynicism.. yet when a footballer none of us knew, nor had any connection with dies of natural course albeit at a young age there's is post of YNWA, RIP etc.. thread I'm talking about is this one for Marc Vivien Foe, there are a number of others for Ken Bigley etc, does it make any difference that he was a Scouser it shouldn't:
