Louis Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I noticed there are petitions for Bob Paisley and Peter Osgood to receive a Posthumous knighthood... but I don't see the point in bestowing such an honour to someone who won't be able to appreciate it regardless of their achievements.

Bill Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 If they were'nt considered when they were alive, Why now. <_< I mean they've done nothing since they died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Can understand posthumous awards in some circumstances, like a VC or GC for someone who died in the act of earning it but like Bill said, if they didn't earn it while they were alive. The Osgood one particular is laughable, should we give Gazza one too (not posthumous obviously but give him time)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) I think the whole honours system has become a joke, people get then for all sorts of crap There should be more given away to the unsung heros of the world (well the UK) Like that woman who had worked at the chippy for about 60 years :thumbsup_anim: Edited February 25, 2007 by Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 like when you see gerrard getting an mbe for doin nout but play football. my grandad got an mbe in 1991 for 30 years in the sea cadet forces. he couldnt get in the navy coz of bad eyesight so he dedicated his life to the sea cadet corps even when he had to do 12 hour shifts he would skip dinner so he could go to the sea cadets. he was on a shit wage and had to look after a wife and 3 kids (one being my mum who had growing problems). and after 30 years he finally got an MBE. now compare what he did to what gerrard has done and beckham. injustice really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
