You realise you just casually dismissed keeping children in cages for years with the standard line trotted out by the military junta? Think about it man...

Illegals should not bring their kids to Thailand. Whether its right or wrong they have a harsh policy in this regard. Boats are pushed back out to sea.

As I said, they c'ant afford these people.

Everybody knows the score already.

On Sky News, they're suggesting that there will be loads of invitations from large teams such as Man United, for the boys to travel there, at a later date.

Is 'Coach' invited too?

We don't know yet what this coach did in the 9 days to possibly save their lives. Give him a break......

I cant understand posters who can take any story
Even this amazing rescue, and twist it into something bad, using it for an agenda that has nothing to do with it.
Musk
Putin
FIFA
And now immigration policies
WTF?
You just don't hear conversations like this In Real Life.

You would hope so.
Coach brought them in there on an adventure which went wrong so they had to venture further into the cave to save themselves.
It wasn't the plan to go that far.
The Kids families have forgiven him so everyone else should.

If Kids stay at home playing Ipads, people complain, if they adventure, people complain :mad::mad:

I read elsewhere that he didn't bring them there but that they went themselves as part of their pre-game ritual. When the parents approached him after their children went missing and he realised where they went and went after them.

It was great news and a great outcome, I hope everyone involved stays safe in the coming days on the clean up operation. There is still alot of work to be done with 4km of diving, caving, pumping equipment to be extracated as well as the above ground setup.

If it were'nt for World Cup match tonight, the RIGOLO family would be eating Thai, it will have to wait until lunch time tomorrow. All this talk of basil and pork has made me want a taste.
Cant wait to hear the stories, please keep the thread open. Perhaps when the lads get back to their day-to-day jobs their colleagues might comment they aint been about the office for a bit, where you on holidays.. you could say that I went to Thailand , on a busmans holiday kind of thing.

There are un-assuming heroes like the rescuers going about doing their jobs everyday of the week all over the world, obviously in this case they stepped it up a few levels. But it was a welcome change from the celebrity nonsense .
Id hope it might make people reset their moral and 'values' compass a bit but thats probably too much of a stretch. Nonetheless Im convinced there were plenty people inspired by this story, who will go out and be the next generation of rescuers and givers.

I did see that but it was linked to Fox News so I completely disregarded it.

Absolute respect for every single person involved in the rescue . From divers to organisers , water pumpers , those who fed the rescuers and organised oxygen tanks , those who supported in any way
Its was an amazing well orgainised dignified fantastic rescue

I've been following this for the last couple of weeks and I really thought it was going to end in disaster. Delighted that all are out safely. I admire the way they kept the media away from the rescue.

anewme · 10-07-2018 10:33pm

“Announcing the completion of the operation, rescue chief and Chiang Rai acting Governor Narongsak Osottanakorn praised the efforts of the international team, declaring that the success had been down to the 'POWER OF LOVE'.”

The World Cup 2018 will always be remembered for the team that never even played. But won the hearts of the World.

I am in awe of those divers and all of those involved in the rescue effort. I can't even put into words how much I admire the courage and bravery of all, including the youngsters in the cave.

Sad of course, that one life has been lost - hoping against hope that all others emerge safely.

Just returning to thread to repeat this. I'm in awe of all involved.

Nor do you get pontificated to by some 15 year old who thinks he is an expert in whatever he last read a wikipedia page on.

Online is full of the most disgusting, foul, psychopathic and pathetic beings who probably go round in real life pretending they are normal.

Believe it or not, I've actually been in that place I posted the picture from. The ridiculously aggressive reactions from posters seem to be because I'm ruining the buzz they're getting from this story, because that's all it really is to them at the end of the day-a TV movie of the week with a happy ending. If the children had drowned straight away we wouldn't even have heard about it or forgotten it soon after.
If you think I'm "disgusting foul psychopathic pathetic" for drawing attention to the plight of other children who need rescuing-after all from reading the thread one can only assume that this must the most empathetic group of humanists in Ireland-well maybe you need to look at yourself.

Will you relax the head? Such an overreaction.

I’m simply saying that when discussing this story with various people in real life, some cynicism crept in about various aspects at time. Namely, whether the coach was such a great guy or was he foolhardy and whether Musky was using this as a PR opportunity. Shall I pretend that didn’t happen?

You added in a lot of crap that neither I nor the person I responded to mentioned. Spelling and grammar corrections? What? Of course that doesn’t happen in spoken conversation.

That’s super and all that you know not of any cynics but I do and my life is no less rich because of it. Actually, I find that cynics help push critical thinking.

I also think that if you are encountering such negativity online all the time, you’re doing it wrong.

They're Alive!!!
