Reports today, on Liverpoolfc.tv confirmed that UEFA have turned down a request to hold a minutes silence in honour of Ken Bigley, tragically slain at the hands of muslim extremists in Iraq.

A minute's silence will be held in memory of Ken Bigley before Liverpool's Premiership match against Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

Liverpool Football Club requested for the silence to be held before Tuesday's Champions League game with Deportivo La Coruna but UEFA said that would not be possible.

Liverpool FC's Head of Press Ian Cotton said: "As a consequence of the decision by UEFA we will be observing the minute's silence in honour of Ken Bigley before our match with Charlton Athletic on Saturday."

What is the problem with the idiots that run UEFA and for that matter FIFA. A man close to the hearts of many Liverpudlians, is cruelly taken away and UEFA tell us we must wait for the minutes silence to remember him. Had this been a ?UEFA representative who died of natural causes, I be every Champions League game would have been preceeded by a tribute.

These idiots at the governing bodies really get on my t1ts some times.

I think that the reason they refused to do this has to do something with the fact that Mr.Bigley was killed by muslim extremists in Iraq.

May Mr.Bigley rest in peace.

I am pretty sure Blatter is only involved with FIFA, not UEFA - so i don't think we can blame Blatter on this one, but they are all the same anyway.

Blatter has all his fingers in all the pies, I blame him cos I hate the guy and want to believe he had an influence in the decission

What about the ****** from the New Statesman (?) who accused the scousers of "wallowing in self pity" over Ken Bigley's death.

I think hes the minister for culture, what a d!ck! Surely its for the people to decide how they choose to mourn?

Thankfully he's not minister for anything as his party isn't in government.

Hey guys does every thread have to be turned into this, it only encourages rather then discourages decent threads becoming attention seeking slanging matches.
I like abit of aggro every now and then for cheap MB entertainment but these days this forum is clogged with it
I get back in my box now

Oh and only thing i can think of why they would say no is that if gave a minute silence for everybody poor innocent getting slaughtered in pointless conflicts these days there wouldnt be enough time in the day
