Sickening for the League to come up with this idea, The Chairman Purkiss should be removed :cwm23:

Plans for a controversial minute's silence in memory of a convicted child abuser have been dropped after football clubs threatened to boycott it.

League officials sparked outrage when they called for the mark of respect for Ray Barnes, the former head of the Hampshire FA found guilty of historic sex crimes against children.

The paedophile was found dead after apparently jumping from a multi-storey car park outside a shopping centre last Tuesday.

The minute's silence had been due to take place at Wessex League football matches across Hampshire on Saturday, but the games were called off due to bad weather.

League chairman Bob Purkiss last night admitted the proposed silence - which he wanted to stage for Mr Barnes' family - had 'not been appreciated by many' and confirmed it would now be dropped.

I like this comment:xxgrinning--00xx3:
"Mr Purkiss needs his head examined."

A minute of hearty applause at one less paedo would be VERY appropriate:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Hopefully some of the victims were allowed to give him a good shove off the top of the car park
