So which of these two things are more likely?
a) Bryn Law was a good friend of Gary Speed and cared about the guy and in the course of doing his job is put in the position of having to cover his death. This added to his desire to pay tribute to him results in him doing a peace from Elland Road in his honour in which the emotion gets the better of him.

He things, I know I will cry on TV because it will look good and make me famous or get my in Rupert Murdock's good books.
I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure its a and that you are wrong on this like you were in my opinion wrong about Robbie Savage.
I personally would grieve in private but then I don't work in the media, I don't have a job to do and I wouldn't have the opportunity to pay tribute to a loved one in the way they do. Regardless of if I would grieve in the same way as others is though irrelevant because grief is a very personal thing and there is no right or wrong way to handle it.
If the likes of Bryn Law and Robbie Savage want to go in the media and talk about their friend and get upset in the process I'm not going to judge them and to be honest I'm rather amazed anyone would.
This is nothing personal directed at you mate I'm just amazed why anyone would have issue with it but if anyone does they can always pick up the remote and flick channel.
A lot of people have been really upset over this news, I know I have and I didn't know the guy personally but I always admired and respected him. I can't begin to imagine how those who knew he felt, actually, scrub that I can because of the likes of Bryn Law and Robbie Savage.
Their reactions suggest my views of Gary Speed were pretty accurate and confirm what a loss he is to those who know him and those that love the game and the parts of it that are still good.
So I guess when I stop and think about it I'm kind of grateful to Law and Savage for their public tributes even if they are horrible to watch.
Shay Given was in tears on the pitch on Sunday in front of millions and I respect him more for that than almost anything he has done in his career.
The media in this country are by and large cold and heartless perhaps we should commend those who show they've a heart rather than be critical of them.
Sorry for the rant but I feel pretty strongly on this subject having lost two friends to suicide and having known others close to me suffer depression.
Top post and I couldnt agree more
