Guest Vic Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Guys.Iv'e just heard that SID BARKEL lost all his stockbirds last night through arson. Apparently, the loft next to his was totally gutted and the corner of Sids loft also caught fire. Sad news indeed. Vic.
Guest Paulo Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Very sad news hope they catch the scum responsible
ALF Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 VERY SORRY TO HEAR THIS I HATE TO SEE SOMEONE LOSE HIS BIRDS LIKE THAT > > >
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 WHY DO FOLK FEEL THE NEED TO DO THIS, IS IT BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY ? TRAGIC WHEN YOU SEE THIS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE
Dougie Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Is there anything to be gained by committing these unprovoked attacks on someone else's property. It take years of hard dedicated work to put together and 5 lousy minutes to destroy.
Roland Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 I believe that in this day and age that the word 'Jealousy' is over used and too often for the wrong reason... including sometime a easy word of convienience. Why, I doubt jealousy very muck. I deranged sence of making a point! A feeling of frustrastion that they are mature enough to overcome and deal with in a appropiate way! A sad sence that it will make a diference to their warped idea of what the feel is right or WANT. In any scenario a very sad and forlorn case which again the perbritrator achieve nothing and a hard time, cast assuming love has been callously chastised unjustly. I feel for you Sid, like most others do I'm sure. And I dread to even entertain the notion that it was related to his post as a prominant Sec. P.s. and it akes me wonder again about the safty of ET's on allottments.
Alf_Rothwell Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 This is terrible news.Who does things like this? I hope someone is caught for it, it also happened to Forest Hall headquarters on saturday morning.Why are these culprits never caught?. Alf Rothwell
stevebelbin Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Probably some young chavy teenages with f--k all else better to do with there worthless lives. It would be easy for me or us to say they need to be hung for it, but I blame this country for the lack of respect for anything anymore. It was only the other day on they were saying on the news that our country is becoming scared of its own teenages and why - No F--king respect for anything anymore.

Couldn't agree more kids these days have no respect for anything!!!!! One of the reasons pigeon racing is dying out they'd rather sit around street corners drinking cheap cider terrorising old people. If I had went on the way some kids go on now my dad would have given me a good slapping.
johnny11 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 wasnt last night called something like mischief night or something. never heared of when I was a youngster and that wasnt too long ago. Cant believe they can do something like this. I saw the devastation first hand couple of seasons ago with local fanciers, a terrible thing to recover from.
stevebelbin Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Yep your right - it was mischief night, but this used to involve just simple tricks, like throwing eggs at peoples windows etc - Not arson attacks on innocent pigeons.
Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 This is totally devastating news for me to read with my morning coffee. Was the burned out loft Young or Old Sid's. I have a great friendship with Jack Barkel and I can only imagine what the Barkel family are going through right now, seeing years of work destroyed by mindless idiots. As for kids having no respect, time they were taught a lesson and put in the Services for a couple of years in other words bring back National Service.
rockinrick Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 yes hyacinth i am with u on this i believe that any teenager leaving school should be put in the services and taught to respect their surroundings ,i came out of school a qualified chef and went straight into the army cadets / ta army / army for three years never had a better time in my life :D
Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 I have just come off the telephone with Mr and Mrs Barkel in Sunderland. 144 Pigeons needless lost their lives last night due to vandalism by kids, it was not pigeon related as the vandals destroyed greenhouses etc on their rampage, plus the loft and contents belonging to a neighbour. What has totally devastated me is that one of the greatest pigeons ever to fly in The Up North Combine "The Tommy Cock" perished along with all Sid's other stock birds. This is tragedy to deep for words.
Guest Vic Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Yes, Most of todays yobos parents also missed conscription too, and thats when it all started. I dread to think where it will finish. > Vic.
Mike Lycett Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 National Service would sort em out MAKE IT COMPULSORY !!
Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Nah Mike, too many doo gooders would stop it before it got off the ground,
RoryTheRed Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Scum, cat of nine tails or stocks in town centre would teach these kids a lesson...Didn't Jim Emerton leave his team to Sid?
Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Rory, I would much prefer reinstituting Penal Colonies, the first one being in the centre of BAGHDAD
RoryTheRed Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Spot ON Mrs Bucket These spawn of three generations of no respect walk around like they are the bees knees and own the world, why? Because the law protects their human rights!!! They are sh** on my shoe, i have dealt with the type and i can assure anyone that when you get them by themselves they crap their diapers!!! They called the police and i was told to report any incidents and not take matters into my hands or i would be arrested for ABH lol...this country as gone PC mad :
