Get well soon Knappers 👍

Only on AVFTT can a get well thread to a young lad turn into a petty bun fight.

Yep, this place is so far up itself these days.

Get well soon fella.

Pray to cod he‘s alright.
Come on knappers!

Knappers is great. Really knowledgeable and self effacing. As others have said. He posted earlier on twitter so hopefully getting a bit better.

 

[td53]

No, I didn't. As I have explained to Biff in PM, I know the lad is pretty poorly and that words of support on social media are giving him a lift when he hears about them.

I wasn't having a dig at anyone (like Lee) who do something different from him, just saying he fills a niche for FTFC and that I wished we had the equivalent at our club because he does a really good job of what he does - not just on the match day vlogs but also his wider work covering L1.

Tom Mayne did a brilliant podcast on wider football.

Just an update on Ben. He was moved to Critical care last night amid fears the infection had spread to heart and lungs. Still in CCU but heart tests been positive and awaiting lung scans. Drip taken out of leg so more positive than last night. Let’s just hope progress continues. Feel for the lad.

Good luck to the lad ,we are all football fans.

Was thinking exactly the same when I read your post. Some unbelievable fuckwits on here at times.

He’s a funny guy is Knappers. Shocked to hear about his illness and really wishing him a speedy recovery.

Came very close to losing my sister a few years ago through sudden sepsis, I know how scary it can be.

Godspeed Knappers.

My gag was the second post on this thread, so I had no idea on his condition or the severity of it, as it wasn't stated. I wish the lad all the best.

You would have been better thought of had you just deleted the comments or at the very least edited it to say something a little nicer about the poor lad.

First time that I've been on the board since last night when I originally posted. Feel for the lad and hope he's ok.

That’s fair enough then.

I don’t think anyone realised how serious it was at first.

That you need to even explain this is a shame. I didn’t have an issue and still don’t. It’s a banter forum and he’s a cod head after all….

The quality is all out there including UTMP

So sad that you think that such a comment is appropriate. I won’t degrade myself by saying what I really think, however, just google Ben Knapman and read what this fine lad has done for charity from a very young age. Then have a long hard look in the mirror. Hope you are proud.

I’d have thought banter goes out of the window when someone is seriously ill in hospital no matter who they support.

Only on AVFTT.

 

[SEASIDE2020]

A very nice young lad.

He is also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic but right now I couldn't give a sh1te about that or what football team he happens to support.

Get well soon Ben.

Yep, best not to respond to such low life , take care fella and all the best to Ben

A flippant remark made by you when you didn’t realise it was quite serious isn’t something you should feel guilty about it’s all good banter until you get the details

Exactly. Over the top reactions from the usual suspects.

Jesus wept! Ridiculous!

Low life! Ridiculous sanctimoniousness!
The OP link said he was in hospital and sending him best wishes….and a bit of banter was offered up. If it said he was in intensive care fighting for his life the post would never have been made.

Nobody on this thread wishes him anything but a quick and full recovery and best wishes.

I'm sure we can all agree that we want young Ben to make a full and speedy recovery, I'm sure nobody meant to post anything bad so maybe time to put any other nonsense to the side.

 

[Briggs5]

He seems a lovely lad with a great knowledge of the game.

Get well soon, Knappers

I hear you, but the “pile on” directed at devils advocate is really not fair at all IMO

Self flagellation is the only answer... You've brought shame on us all

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

Get well Ben. I've prayed for you.
