    I signed the book of condolences in Belfast and I must say that the floral, scarves, pictures and jersies tributes outside the City Hall was amazing. Everybody was taking pictures of the little shrine. I'd imagine that Roselawn Cemetry has had more visitors since the funeral.

    Is it just me, but I find it quite disgusting that Man U released a dvd with Best's highlights only 2 weeks after his death. The man has just died and his ex-employers already try to make money out of his departure. A minute of silence is an easy way to pretend you care, but in the end it's all about money Maybe I am being totally wrong here, but if I were a relative of Best right now I'd be furious. Total lack of disrespect to try to gain profits out of someone's death.

    I think you'll find that the DVD United have on sale about Best has been so since 2001. I think you'll also find that since he died, the United board have made a £250,000 donation to the various bodies that research Liver disease, and plans are in place to launch a George Best scholarship for 3 kids every year.

    Speaking of being disrespectful, try and have your facts in order before speculating and muck spreading on a thread that is here for people to pay their respects to and gracefully remember a football GOD.

    I wasn't aware of the donation, should have researched that. Mea culpa.

    I just find it a bit unappropriate to advertise this DVD right after his departure. I'd say it may be most respectful to let the family moarn in silence and quietness.
