I thought that afer 90 minutes normal time, then 30 minutes extra time, then
with both sides level after taking five penalties each, only then does
"sudden death" come into play.
--
High above in Heaven, the Jade Emperor, Ruler of Heaven and Earth, was
startled by the rays of light reaching his Celestial Throne.
"See what's causing that," he ordered his chief minister, the Spirit of the
Great White Planet Venus.
The Great White Planet went to look out the East Gate of Heaven and soon
returned with his report. "Your Majesty, a stone has given birth to a
monkey. The rays of light came from its eyes. But now that the monkey has
taken food, the light is fading."
The Jade Emperor sighed. "Only a monkey, is it? Well, we have important
business here. A monkey is no concern of ours."

While you at least waited till the tournament was over, which shows more
tact than b did, (not that that's hard to do) His 'sudden death joke' was
funnier than this lame attempt.

Read the fucking NGs before re-X-posting the same shite, Monkey

Given the recent change by UEFA from Golden Goal to settle European Finals,
to Silver Goal, I thought that the Confederation Cup would be the same too,
but as the latter tournament is a FIFA one, they must have different rules.

The post to which you are replying is a lame gag about "sudden death", not a
serious question about tournament rules.

It's wrong for him to make sick jokes but it's perfectly ok for you to
criticise him for this and wish for his family to die?

Its the same old story. Deaths are met in these groups with "RIP" threads
gushing with emotion mostly from people who in all honesty don't really give
a fcuk. Then someone who posts a "sick joke" which has been heard in
virtually every workplace and schoolyard, is a "sick son of a bitch". What

I think the difference here, Monkey, is that a footballer in his prime has
died on the pitch, and these are football newsgroups. When somebody posts a
joke about some politician or actress who died on a football newsgroup, then
it's probably not going to be a problem for most people on here, who care
more about football than tv shows or politics.

However in Foe's case, its almost similar to a family member, albeit a
distant one, passing tragically, to a lot of people on here, as MVF was well
known all around the UK and Ireland having played for 2 prem clubs, and been
seen playing on TV in the Champs League and World cup. He was part of
something that we all care about, which is why people here are more
sensitive to jokes at his expense so soon after his death.

There's a right time and place for that sort of humour. Football newsgroups,
days after a death that football fans were still trying to take in and
understand how it happened, is neither IMO. That's how I see it all.

If you think he's out of order then say so, but then sinking below that

mass from across town. Thought maybe it may have changed the way some of
your knobhead lot thought and maybe stop the Munich chants, the way
Liverpool stopped after Hillsborough. But No, since the Tragedy of Foe
