rsmini Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Very sad news indeed RIP Gary Speed. Thoughts are with his family. In case you missed it earlier this is Robbie Savage on the BBC commenting on the loss of his very close friend [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15911088.stm]http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15911088.stm Stan Collymore has been posting recently on Twitter about his own health issues. Certainly makes you think you should enjoy life as much as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Tragic loss, couldn't believe it when the minute silence/applause was going on (this is when I became aware of the death), always liked the bloke, he would have been very welcome in a Derby shirt, and he has done wonders with the Welsh side.

mozza Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Top bloke..what a waste..R.I.P. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Gary Speed played always for teams I don't like, still I always liked him. He made it easy to respect him regardless for which team he played for. R.I.P. Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Was always one of my favourite players growing up and seeing him on Football Focus yesterday seems so strange, I was only thinking about what a top player and bloke he was.

-JW- Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Anyone listen to 606. Savage was virtually crying for the whole show and the presenter went at the end as well. Such a sad day, the guy had nothing to do with DCFC at all but we are all absolutely devestated, that just tells you the sort of bloke he was.

-JW- Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sav nearly had me going wen he said that he refused to believe it when he was told this morning, so he rung up speed's mobile and it rung out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansea ram Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sat in the pub earlier watching the Swansea game, and couldn't help but cry at the minutes silence/applause before the game, even though i had heard the news 2hs earlier. It was also very moving seeing Shay Given break down also. Very very sad day for football, and a very sad day for Welsh football RIP Garry. Only you know why.

trekkie_ram Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I'm not surprised Robbie cried, I had a tear in my eye. Robbie is one of his mates, and Gary couldn't be much more of a stranger to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I have always liked Gary Speed as a player, manager and a dam decent bloke. Twelve hours later and I cannot seem to square the fact that he has let go of his mortal coil. Garry was the working mans footballer, played hard and fair, and I read on twitter that whilst at Newcastle, he was the only player that thanked the ball boys for giving him the ball. RIP Gary. love prayers and thoughts to your family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 So you cant say anything unless it's 'RIP Gary Speed' This place is a joke sometimes, extreme moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 you can say something other than that in a different thread, but since this thread is for respecting gary speed i don't think it would be appropriate to post anything other than something which is respectful.

There are just times for a bit of dignity. A 'proper' footballer has gone, One who most of us would have liked to see in a Rams shirt.In tragic circumstances it seems. There's clearly somethings most of us do not know, but a good man has gone unnecessarily. Football lost today. Or in other words, 'RIP Gary Speed'.

I agree, and after some reflection my earlier comments werent necessary. However, someone posted something saying along the lines of, that they knew it wasnt to do with mental health problems. Why delete that? It would have been interesting to see if that poster had anything more to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
