George Best?


Nah... he isn't important enough to warrant all black. And he is said to be "improving"

His (George Best) condition is said to be improving. However, even if it were related to him, this would not warrant such official "mourning". This would normally only be reserved for Royalty, Senior Politician or Senior Religious Leader.


Yes that is true, it would be all over the top for a footballer

However George has been in hospital for a few days, so why only release the news today?

If there is anything to this at all, I would also suspect it to be a Court related matter. Anyone seen Witchell and Meade around of late?

Although I hope to be very wrong, I concur with the comments made with one of the previous Correspondents above pertaining to HRH D of E.

It COULD be an amazing coincidence in fact, but I think not.

By the way, what reason would there be for an embargo?


To give time for the family to be notified, not nice for anyone close to someone who's died to find out via a Sky 'Breaking News' swoosh!

Antz - I too had noticed the Sky Sports News suits... this just makes me feel it is too much to be a coincidence. Nothing on N24 TOTH though.

EDIT -- Black Suit has replaced Grey Suit on Sky (sorry - don't know the sky presenters names)

Well the headline on Sky News was 'George Best seriously ill in intensive care'. Hopefully not, but maybe it is him.
