Holden McGroin 6783 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 RIP Mr Lovenkrands. Not having an all out go, but the amount of people copying Lampard now by pointing to the sky, it's like commercialising death, and why point to the sky? Do aliens come down when we die and take us to outer space?? Lampard was not the first but in any case the bloke was overcome with emotion. He could have spun on his head for all I cared, fair play to the bloke. Given how supportive it is documented his father was, I can imagine the tide of emotion he would have felt. I wouldn't go as far to say it's bad taste, I just don't like how often it's been copied and done. Death in the family should remain as private as possible. That's my take on it, and as I've said why point to the SKY? He is obviously religious and his father is in "heaven" now. Or am I being wooshed here?

I think it's quite a nice way of going about things, to be honest. I agree that death should remain in the family, but if you're a footballer then, by definition, your job is to get out in the public eye and play football. And I reckon Lovenkrands has done it just right - let the club do the talking, "he's gone back to Denmark, he might not be back for the next game", then play the match, pay a wee tribute and get on with life.

Guest Insider Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Are you really asking why he pointed to the sky? Do players who've lost their parents pointing to the sky really bug you that much? Edited January 19, 2010 by Insider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31202 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I honestly can't believe that you get annoyed about a guy making a tiny gesture to his recently deceased father, FFS, catch yourself on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I know English players are often overrated but crediting Frank Lampard with inventing the concept of heaven is a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
