Perspective ... Fan Dies at Cardiff

[SJN-Fox]

Forget penalties, offsides, cock ups. Maybe this will bring us back to the real world. I never knew this man but I imagine he was a football fan just like the rest of us and I'm sure his friends and family don't really care who got to Wembley. RIP

It's at times like this you realise just how trivial football is.

[Harbro-Fox]

How sad. RIP.

RIP - that is awful. Thoughts with family and friends.

Bill Shankley once said that football was more important than life or death. It was a very silly comment and I am sure he did not mean it because he was not a silly man. When we hear news like this we realise that all decent football fans share a common bond. R.I.P.

R.I.P. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

Very sad. RIP.

Didn't we have a similar situation at the Walkers a year or so ago?

Everton fan wasn't it. On the Upperton Road walking towards the ground.

Awful stuff, RIP and best wishes.

My friend's dad died after a Leicester v Leeds game years ago. He was a Leeds fan and had a heart attack on the motorway on the way back to Leeds. The only good thing was that he usually drove but on this occasion was a passenger in the car.

Yes,in the East Stand.

Yes we did, and not what you are referring to BF. A guy died at the top of the east stand last season.

Oh yeah, I remember it now.

Very sobering news. You don't expect someone to go to a game and not go home from the ground.

They were almost exactly the words of someone remembering the Bradford fire earlier this week.

R.I.P Wayne. No-one ever expects or wants this sort of stuff to happen. Poor guy.
