    Brilliant stuff was that. Show must go on was never more true :) Sooner things get back to normal after something so bad, the better it is. Doesn't mean they are forgotten.

    If some lunatics want to set a bomb off in a crowded place, there's not much you can do to stop that happening in the free society we have in Europe.

    I'm astonished that we haven't had any attack of note in over a decade in this country considering the number of conflicts we have got involved in and how closely we are aligned with the USA.

    I do wonder if GCHQ, or some other shadowy intelligence unit, is monitoring our population in a way that they shouldn't be, according to our laws - not keen on those private images I texted some bird last year being passed round an office. :cool:

    I'm going to the Euros in the summer and although it has crossed my mind about the potential dangers I'm not gunna let some ****ing idiots put me off going to something I've been looking forward to so much.

    And in all honesty I think with the amount of security going to be present, France could be one of the safer places to be in the summer.

    There are terrorist organisations actively looking to target the current World T20 but the tournament is still taking place. They've already moved India v Pakistan to a different venue because of threats, but haven't cancelled the tour.

    When Mumbai was hit by terrorists in 2008 England still played the Test Match there with a delay.

    Behind closed doors?

    Worse than cancelling it, IMHO

    </header>A member of Uefa's executive committee has raised the possibility of Euro 2016 matches being played behind closed doors following the attacks in Brussels, BBC Sport is reporting.
    Former Italy FA chief Giancarlo Abete says the tournament in France in June and July is an event we "can't delay or postpone", and Uefa cannot exclude playing behind closed doors as the organisation cannot exclude terrorism".
