footy banter aside

was made aware of Frank Lampards mum being ill earlier this week, and then reading an article in the paper this morning, opened up some not so old wounds of my own, i was practically in tears as I could relate to everything he was going through. I have just heard now that she has passed away. Such a sad story! :(
 
Truly sad news.
The club's already got 2 stories up on the website.

It was great to see her and Frank Sr at all the games... you have to admire that kind of family pride and cohesion.
 
to be told she's on the mend, to be given the hope and then have it taken away, thats the worst bit.
 
frank always gets a good ribbing for the kopites, but when he went into the barriers at the kop end on tuesday you could sense how inappropriate the usual banter would be.

think we're trying to organise a banner/flowers, etc for the game on wednesday.


RIP

is he going to be playing for the season then?
 
Must admit Lampard gets sh1t loads of abuse when he plays over Upton Park and to be fair he loves it and has brought load of it on himself.

However moments like this bring it all into perspective and even the most hardcore Hammer and hater of Lampard would never wish anything like this on him or anyone.

Don't worry he will still get the usual fatboy stick next season but for the time being wish him and Frank Sr all the best.

Hard to say, isn't it.

If it were me, I think I'd play. Try to win it for Mom, as oversentimental as that might sound.

But it'll be up to him, really.

Yeah me too. I know sounds a bit tough but I would just want to get on with things. But you don't know how these things affect you till they happen.
 
Sad news...RIP.

It's a pity people weren't more respectful when i posted about George Best's father passing away next week.
 
George Best father not being rude means little to most people apart from his family. Not saying that we all know Frank's mum but Frank is a current premiership and England player who everyone knows or heard off etc and have more sympathy for him that George Best's dad who son died long before him.
I'm sure when George died himself everyone at least thought if not showed him a bit of respect in someway or another but we can't have a vigil for everyone's family who dies especially if we don't know them. I'm sure if you had feeling about GB's dad then you will have dealt with that in your own way.
As said by Grego no need for bad vives or squabbles on this thread about showing respect.

I'm not at all, i never do when someone announces a death, im merley pointing out that people should be more respectful when someone posts about a death on here.
 
No disrespect to anyone meant here, I know everyone is touched in different ways by different people. But I would only really feel it necessary to comment on someone's passing when they may have had really had an impact on my life, or was a truely great person.

Not taking anything away from Mrs Lampard or Mr Best Snr.

BTW. My Neighbours cat got run over this week. I'll miss him. RIP Henry :cry:

I agree. Too many people trying to have a who is the most respectful competition. Information, fine. But all this R.I.P. stuff is for whos benefit ?

Well I, for one, have met Frank Jr and of course as a fan I feel bad for his loss.

No, I didn't know his mother, but I do know that she attended practically every match to see her son play and I admire that.

So I say R.I.P., knowing full well that Frank isn't a forum member and that his mother won't "read" this little tidbit in the ether on her way up to a better place.

We share all kinds of b.s. on this forum. I think sharing our personal reactions to a bit of sadness is no worse than sharing news of how trashed we got at a nightclub last weekend.
