Jota RIP

I am deeply saddened by such tragic news.Diego Jota leaves behind 3 children and a wife of 11 days, it must be absolutely devastating for them.Lets not forget his brother also perished.
My thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends at this terribly sad time.
 
Tire blow out overtaking.

Blimey....No chance, s*** luck.

Three kids and two weeks married and a brother....sucks.
 
Heard lots of people on social media etc asking why didn't he just get a flight from Porto, instead of driving to Santander, its a major vehicle terminal to the UK,, done it loads. According to rumours/clickbait etc, apparently he had a small medical procedure regarding his lungs. That alone, would bar home from flying. Whether this is the reason, who knows. Just sad really.

Yep, that's my understanding, a medical problem making it unsafe for him to fly.

The poor bloke was driving his brother to the ferry in his Lamborghini and judging by the state of the wreckage he wasn't hanging about. Unfortunately these overpaid footballers tend to buy ultra fast hypercars that are very difficult to drive - especially at speed. Reports suggest a tyre blew, but whether this was the cause of his accident or the result of the impact is not yet clear. Very sad circumstances nevertheless.

That's a long old drive, absolute tradegy.
 
Such a tragedy for the family to lose 2 young talented boys. I thought Jota was the model professional. Not always a starter for Liverpool but gave 100% and scored vital goals for them. A time to show solidarity with the Liverpool fans. I think the idea that we join in singing “You’ll never walk alone”at the Charity Shield is a great one.

Notice no black armbands for l'pool on Sunday.

I didn’t boo on Sunday, but have to ask, when does all this stop.
Sure, it’s sad that 2 young men lost their lives but so have many (un-named) others in similar circumstances over recent months. Its not really an event that warrants a period of national mourning, is it ?
 
Yes maybe disproportionate.
The wreath laying was respected by Palace fans standing and clapping, but there was a voice or two at the silence before ko. However that was hot on the heals of what I judge to be the majority of Liverpool fans booing the National Anthem. So best to avoid these scenarios. Applause works best.

The most sensible post I've read in months. I've often thought about saying something similar but didn't want to provoke the barrage of vitriol I assumed would follow. Ever more events are followed by minutes of applause, minutes of silence, applause in the 32nd minute or the 58th minute, and so it goes on. In my opinion a load of sentimental nonsense. I have a very vague memory of the Selhurst crowd, at a game against QPR, being asked to mark the death of Terry Venables's father. Or was that just something from a nightmare I'd had the night before? And then there's the hypocrisy of posters who claim that so-and-so and his family are in their thoughts and prayers - I don't believe that even 1% are believers, let alone people who say prayers. Let the players wear a black armband and get on with the game.
