Brussels

[SM1893]

Another scene of devastation in Brussels with explosions at the Airport and Metro station in the city. Reports showing a possible 13 dead. 

The loss of innocent life all around the globe is of course very sad to hear. 

Personally, I'm due to head to Prague for the Scotland game tomorrow and planned on travelling through Brussels, think that one might be up the poley!

23 fatalities now apparently and dozens injured.

Bloke across the road from me, Belgian guy, spends 9 months in the Philippines and 3 in Brussels. He was flying back to Belgium last night so hopefully he's ok as I think the airport bomb was in departure area.

Apologies, I was seeing the Metro figure (at that point).

Just watching the Swindon v Wigan game. Interesting that they're holding a minute's silence for Brussels when there was no fuss made about the deadlier attack in Ankara.

People in Turkey are the wrong colour for Britains media to care about. Seems we only care when these incidents take place in predominately white counties.

Fair point.

I'm just thinking that someone has decided that every English ground needs to mourn 31 deaths in Brussels two weeks after ignoring 37 people deaths in Ankara.

Is there a cut-off point where football has to get involved in a tragedy? Maybe we should mourn a disaster in Prague but not Bucharest because that's just a bit too far east and not many British people go there on holiday.

So all games today had a minutes silence?
