optimisticowl Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Dronfield_SWFC said: This always thought it was the start of the downturn Had the hapless Richards and the hopeless Wilson taken the view of Man Utd in respect of the Cantona fan kicking incident, then Di Canio would have paid his fine and worked out his ban on the training ground prior to returning to first team duties. However Di Canio was a bell end to do what he did, all that Paul Alcock did was to exaggerate the force of the push, just like the players do.

asteener1867 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 R.I.P Mr Alcock I know we all had a giggle at the tumble backwards, but laying hands on a ref should always carry a penalty such as DiCanio got... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack-Abusi Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The last picture .. wow. shocking. Reminds me of my cousin who wasted away with pancreatic cancer passing away at 37. Became a shadow of the man who loved my dad to bits. Gutted. I don't blame Alcock a single jot for what happened to Di Canio. You simply don't lay a finger on the ref. Wilson had his hands tied by the main culprit dave Richards. Anyway, not the time to talk about those events. RIP Paul.

DVDA Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Cancer is not a single disease - in fact, it's a disease syndrome with the commonality that cells lose the ability to control their cell division and location, and become invasive. "Cancer" has many contributory factors including, but not limited to, genetic predisposition, somatic mutation - induction by carcinogens, lifestyle - alcohol and calorie intake, socio-economic inputs, etc. Some viruses cause cancer - e.g., facial tumours that have almost wiped out Tasmanian devils. If we all lived long enough, we would all get cancer as our DNA-repair mechanism is purposefully error-prone. Quite the medical hurdle. Also, in the west - HIV_attributed mortality is on the wane. Anyway, RIP Alcock Edited January 30, 2018 by DVDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think he could have stayed on his feet but he was a better ref than most of the dross we get these days My mums a better ref than the dross we get.

RIP Paul We all have stories pal about that disease, I'm only 34 and have a really good friend of mine die with Brain cancer last June at 42 years of age but at least we still here to talk about, rip Paul and your mate and mine and let's hope they find a cure for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 R.I.P. He's a quirky footnote in our club's history, but a beloved family member and friend to some. Cancer is a heartless b*stard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
