Windsor 2,233 Posted March 1, 2006 I reported this in "near misses" (beat you to it by a couple of minutes!) BBC link Nice to see some of us are still reporting deaths in the correct manner. How odd, dying at a funeral. They should have chucked him in the oven there and then. The very same place where Princess Margaret was cremated in 2002...

Phantom 2,532 Posted March 1, 2006 It's been a long time since the chant of "Osgood is no good" drifted across the terraces at Stamford Bridge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted March 1, 2006 It's been a long time since the chant of "Osgood is no good" drifted across the terraces at Stamford Bridge I thought it was "Osgood is good". Surely Chelsea fans would have cheered him. Anyway, the saying is now changed to "Osgood was good". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IKYWN 6 Posted March 1, 2006 My aunt knew his aunt. Possibly still does. My aunt is still alive but I don't know whether Osgood's aunt is. Possibly he was at her funeral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted March 1, 2006 Anyone reckon that Osgood was bumped off by the Russian mafia, who now run Chelsea, because he knew too much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hackenslash, he most likely was. A little before my time though. I offer him or his family no disrespect. Any player to be called up to play for the national squad has made the grade. Even if they're called up 4 times like Osgood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if Rooney scores tonight how the Kop will respond. Bet it won't be booing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 1, 2006 I'm aware that Lady Die has posted this in Near Misses already, but is there any reason that this is still a thread? Is this one of those threads we'd rather have floating on the top of the DL forums instead of some others? Sorry, I'm in a bad mood today, but you'd think after the big deal we just had over large numbers of threads, people, especially members who have been here a while, would know where recent deaths go.

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted March 1, 2006 Peter Osgood's death is big enough news, in the UK anyway, that having his own thread for a day or two seems alright. Because no one has ever heard of 99.9999999999999999999999% of the people who die that get mentioned in the "Near Misses" thread, having a separate thread for those deaths that are actually of interest to a large number of DL members makes sense.

Godot 149 Posted March 1, 2006 Osgood was very good, and I say that as a Leeds United supporter. Leeds played all over Chelsea for two games in the FA Cup Final and replay in 1970 and the buggers still beat us, partly thanks to Osgood's goal. I'm sure they'll play it on telly tonight, yet another two minutes silence at Anfield I expect, maby four minutes if they include Ron Greenwood, double armbands all round.

Calm down, calm down. I've already dealt with this is a more subtle manner. (But only because I didn't want it to look like I was picking on iain) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
