Child murder is very rare. However it will happen again and nothing Newport County can do will alter that. Every victim of murder deserves to be remembered and they will be remembered by those who love them. However if the club hold a silence for one victim they in part disrespect all the others who have died or will die in similar tragic circumstances. Further, and this is just a personal opinion, there is a touch of sanctimonious look at me, am I not such a compassionate person about all this.

I grieve for the people I have loved and lost. We all do. If I were to grieve for every tragedy I would be in a constant state of grief. That applies to everyone of us. I have previously suggested that a round of applause for all fans that have passed at the start of each season, whereby we can all think on those we wish to, would be a good idea. But for individual tragedies that have nothing to do with the club I don't think is a good idea.
