Tyler Durden Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Have just seen on Twitter that Birmingham City and Millwall are to remember Arthur in the 6th minute of tomorrow's game, a tribute which is being followed by a number of other clubs fans. Would be touching if we as a group of supporters could do the same thing, the reports of his case would make a grown man break down in tears.

StarterForTen Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I'll be doing it at home, as I won't be at the match. I'm a fully paid up lily-livered liberal, but cases like this make even me wish capitol punishment was still on the statute. atherstoneram, Reggie Greenwood, norwichram and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Git Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I get the sentiment 100%, but what effect will it have in the future. The poor kid is dead and his "guardians" are beyond help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksRam Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Good shout Tyler. As a father of 2 this case more than struck a cord. I won't be there but huge if fans could do this. I'll bow my head in thought at home. Tyler Durden and Kathcairns 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Makes me sick to my stomach, RIP poor poor little boy.

But what has it got to do with Derby v Bristol city? At times it feels like there’s tributes every other match which kind of diminishes the effect of them.

For me it's a show of support for a fellow football fan, no matter how young he was. No doubt he would have gone on to attend football games had things been different. You are right, we clap a lot of people, hold minutes silences for many, give symbolic gestures for political movements, it does get a bit much...but I can't think of anyone who needs a round of applause, or a show of some sort of love as an innocent 5 year old boy who genuinely thought no one loved him. Forget football, I'd watch my club go to the wall if it brought him back.

eccles the ram Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Football binds people together. Fans up and down the country live and breath the game. With something as despicable and utterly horrific as this against a poor little,defenceless boy fans should do something. By respecting his young life through clapping in the sixth minute will not bring him back but may show those absolute bamfords who were supposed to be looking after him that the football community will not forget him. God bless you Arthur! I hope every football ground in the country takes part!? Tyler Durden, Reggie Greenwood, Miggins and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be be an apology from all of us to that little lad - for what he suffered and for our failures to protect him. It's awful and some quiet reflection, inadequate as it is, seems the very least we can offer. RIP little Arthur. I'm so sorry that society failed you so badly. ?

Carl Sagan Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Genuinely find this sort of idea baffling. It's got nothing to do with our football game. Football is meant to be an escape from the poo in the rest of society, yet people seem determined to use matches as a way to remind people of it. Of course it was dreadful for the kid. And also a lot of really, really bad stuff happens every day. Public shows of grief for people they don't know seem strange to me, impinging on the intense private grief of the family. Maybe I'm an outlier here? Foreveram, Mihangel, Chester40 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
