GBest
Yea, i know, everybody is talking about it, but for once i'm going to talk about the same thing too.
What does everybody think of the George Best funeral???
I had some of this pointed out to me. Why did so many people turn out to give, what was pretty much a state funeral?? Giving so much praise, but if they do it for George Best, then why not for somebody who's made a breakthrough in medecine, or something like that?? One possible answer may be because of lack of faith. Today there are less people with faith or religion than 30 years ago, like not everybody you know is going to have a connection to a faith nowadays. So maybe that is why so many people turn out for things like this. It happened with Princess Diana too. Maybe people find these as a refuge, te things like today can perhaps show that most people roundo have a flicker of faith when otherwise they don't usually. I don't know if anybody gets me there! But that can sort of be a good thing, as it shows that many people here perhaps still have a faith somewhere inside themselves, just they don't want to explore it. That's about as best as i can explain it, cause it's a hard one to explain.
That said, i ain't having a knock at this whole thing today. While it could've been seen as a bit OTT (which i've already kinda tried to explain why so many people turned out), it didn't bother me. From what i've heard and seen the guy was a pretty big genius, and a charming guy too. I didn't see all of the funeral becuase i was out swimming, but it seemed to be a pretty fitting tribute. The guy was a legend, along with loads of other people.
And i guess it also shows how people come together. One reason i think this whole thing might've been good was because it's brought the worlds media back here again. Except this time it wasn't to show some riots or bomb or something, today the TV's showed united people round here, and i understand that dude who leads the PUP was having a good old laugh & yarn with big boy Mcguinness?? Why can't they just be like that all the time?! Might solve a lot of problems eh? yea, Politicans are weirdos.
So now that's the end of my serioussy weirdish post. Today i chilled, and tomorrow i plan to chill too. Laters

I think it happens to people who distance themselves from politics...UTV claimed George BEst was a Catholic- but what did it matter... it was nice to see Belfast doing something that didnt matter what religion, skin colour or faith u had...
...its wat a normal country is usually like!
I wish people could have been brought together by something other than Best. I don't see him as anything to be proud of.
i agree with jamie.

I think George Best's funeral was exactly what he deserved. He is something Northern Ireland should definitely be proud of. He represented Northern Ireland not Catholics or Protestants. He was someone we could all relate to because he wasn't perfect and he led a life that was far from problem free. When I saw footage on TV there was a familiarity about him. He represents the best of our country in that he did what he loved and he treated people well. I'm not denying he had problems and that he was far from perfect but I think he was an inspiration and more so than if he was an educated professional. He came from nothing and he gave so much. He is a legend.
