I read the account of the collision off Nantucket between the two liners Andrea Doria and Stockholm, in 1955?. This collision occurred in thick fog and was “radar assisted” , ie human error. The Stockholm broadsided the Italian ship but stayed afloat by closing the forward watertight doors. Unfortunately Andrea Doria rammed amidships sank with huge loss of life. Swedish crew reported picking up survivors, mostly Italian crew, from half empty lifeboats which was an appalling scandal.
Didn’t someone (allegedly) have a go when he was playing golf? Looked and sounded like a vote garnering stunt worthy of an academy award nomination. What an entertainer! 👏
On current form the game against Bournemouth could be the ultimate embarrassment that triggers something resembling a reaction by the supporters. A heavy defeat doesn’t bear thinking about but wouldn’t be surprising.
