I came across this news story on Monday(10th November, 2008) and thought it was worth writing about. The main gist of the story is that an Ipswich player( David Norris) made a 'handcuff' celebration after scoring a goal, supposedly as a tribute to his friend former Plymouth Argyle Goal keeper, Luke McCoimick, who was jailed for killing two kids due to drunk duving.
Now to my thoughts, the people who made this allegations are the parents of the victims, my heart really goes out to them because they are living in constant heartache after losing two kids on the same night due to someone else's irresponsibility, but what i don't understand is how do you define 'handcuff celebration'?, how do you link it with the accident? and how did they see this 'celebration'? were they watching the match or did they stumble upon it?
The incident is being investigated but David Norris has written an apology letter to the fmily of the deceased and his apology has been accepted, according to the mother of the deceased: '...it shows he has a heart...' They don't want him to be banned but just for him to realise his mistake, which he has, but in the long run their opinion wouldn't count because depending on what vedict is reached David faces a ban................
Is this all a joke gone bad or misunderstanding mixed with raw emotions? Well you be the judge.
