Makes you realise how lucky we are.

Let's make sure they get the round of applause they deserve and may they win there own battles within.

Definitely, hope it goes all well for the pair of them :) and they can say "This is the best day of my life" !

Saw this article as well, I'm sure they'll have a tremendous day - have we got some little (TBV or otherwise) flags or anything that could be given to them?

Makes you feel all the troubles you might have are meaningless. Good luck to both of them.

Really sad, and agree with the above posts.

When I first saw the title thread I thought that was going to be an erotic story!

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Yes indeed, i read that in the Echo yesterday, let's hope Colchester do the decent thing and lose so these lads have a day they'll always remember.

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Puts life into respective really, lets ALL make some noise and make it a day to remember for these boys

COME ON U SHRIMPERS

 

[Scamps]

Yeah not sure what we can find but i'll try and let them have a go on the drums...

 

[BrettieAngell]

Blimey, that does put some things into perspective. I hope they really enjoy the day and we get the win for them aswell!

 

[Colchester and proud!]

Very sad story, I hope the travelling Colchester fans applaud these youngsters as well, as you guys say it makes you think.

I hope the announcer gives them a big welcome. A standing ovation is required here I feel.

I hope they have a great day and top it off with a blues win!

When I saw the kid who has cancer I had a lump in my throat, Makes you stop and realise how fortunate you are to have you're health.

Shame we couldn't have got the win for them.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Nothing against the other kid (who's parents probably arranged for it specially), but I did feel the two lads should have been the only mascots today.

 

[Smiley]

Yeah, that's... an awful read.

Really, as has been said, puts things in perspective.
