Bobby girl Posted Friday at 23:04 Share Posted Friday at 23:04 Heartbreaking news, Matt you were part of our great promotion winning squad and City fans will never forget how you helped us achieve our goal. No words can express how sad we feel for you and your family, and Steve Bruce , who has had so much tragedy in the last few years(parents). RIP Madison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Rojo Posted Friday at 23:41 Share Posted Friday at 23:41 (edited) Why do BBC have to mention Steve Bruce in headline - or at all - and not Matt. Total disrespect Yes i know he's a relation but the introduction focuses on the wrong person and the tragedy. 5th paragraph down they finaly bother to even mention Matt's name or that he's the father. Feels like an after thought. Feels totally wrong. Hate the media in this country. Shame on you BBC. Condolances to Matt.

Bar BS3 Posted Saturday at 07:08 Share Posted Saturday at 07:08 A terrible, awful, heartbreaking week! Sadly, highlighted by higher profile individuals that have made it more news worthy - but tragedies that happen to so many people all the time. So sad - thoughts & condolences to Steve Bruce, Matt Smith & families, along with anyone we'll probably never hear about who suffers such terrible loss 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think they've been writing a portion of their articles with AI recently as some of their work has been completely tone deaf. Or standards are just really slipping the past couple of years. 10 hours ago, View from the Dolman said: Another tragic story emerging tonight... RIP Madison.

The above was lifted straight from the BBC’s Blackpool page, so its focus is their manager. It makes sense. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c625yexwj8po Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s mentioned because he’s the grandfather of this poor lad & this is the explanation as to why he won’t be involved in today’s game.

I can't find the words either so I hope you don't mind me latching onto your post and echoing that I feel the same. Life is very fragile sometimes and grief doesn't ever fully leave you, especially when it involves a child. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
