A Wycombe player died this morning, Mark Philo in a car crash.

Awful  :( Gutted to hear it.

RIP

(btw - sorry if this has been posted before)

Fuck.

What a waste.

He was 21.

I can't believe they didn't tell the Wycombe players until after the match as well.  They would have wanted to at least wear a black arm band or have a minutes silence - not just play on as normal.

that's fucking disgraceful! the match should've been called off and the players told.

Yeah I agree.  They mentioned it on goals on Sunday this morning.

I bet that if It had been a player from a premiership club, more would have been done.

maybe not called off, not being insensitive but our game wasnt called off for jimmy davis? I know he wasnt our player but still....actually thinking about it Watfords game was called off wasnt it? Ok forget my original point!

and yet you didn't just delete what you'd writen? madman

Apparantly he didn't die until 4.20 in the afternoon, and the family had asked for the match to go ahead, knowing that there was no way he was going to pull through.

RIP.

At 21,another young player passes away. Shame really. He probably would've wanted the game to still go ahead.

Life support machine turned off at 4.20pm, thought it was initally am - apologies however still so young with so much left to live for.

As bad as it may sound, that is probably the best way to go about it.
It means the game still goes ahead and people haven't had a wastedd journey, and they can pay their respects at the next game, and will have some time to get over the shock before it.

R.I.P.  :(

:( rip

Sad, but people die all the time.

Fake sympathy and outrage gets on my tits.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
I have to be honest, I didn't know the guy, and I never even saw him play as far as I know.

But until somebody is taken away from you in a motor-accident you never understand how sudden and strange it is, and that's why I felt bad when I heard that story.

Your comments are a little out of Order Mr Red!! :disapprove:

Why?

Fuck me if you feel gutted for everyone that dies young you'll be at it all the time.

These people didnt know him,they havent really seen him play and pretending to be gutted is pathetic and patronising to those that it would have mattered to.

Dont get me started on the nations addiction to mourning .

Did you know the Yeovil Red is really the Tin man  :wink:

I agree with Yeovil on this one.  

If I saw his family upset I'd probably feel some compassion, as it's not nice losing someone young.

Ok for example a member of my family dies (they havent or owt)
Or somebody on this forum who's family or friend has died,
do you really think they would want to read the type of comment you have added to this thread???

I think not.
Its not about mourning his death its about being a little considerate to others thoughts and feelings.

Or are you like others on this forum and are more interested in the fact you had a bit of a ruck @ gillingham on saturday????

I will just say the crap being written on this forum celebrating the fact that there was some trouble on saturday and how you all cant wait for them to come here next month is so childish, Yeah lets get the club more bad press, things are going bad enough on the field lets get things looking bad off it as well.

It sound like a few people on this forum are like the Cider drinking little chavs that come down from shitty whenever we play them, and are hard as nails with barriers in front of them in the stratton bank, get them outside and they run a mile. (mainly because they have to be up for school the next day)


Do people on here really want to be like them?

 :wall:

It feels so good getting that of my chest,

PS I do like the forum though.

I think that comment was a bit out of order.  You're lecturing Yeovil for having an opinion - thats all it is an opinion.  Opinions can neither be right nor wrong.

Most of the trouble on saturday came from people who travelled to Gillingham for a fight, not actual Swindon fans.  Surely you must realise this as if it were all the Swindon fans there wouldn't have been so many that made it inside the stadium.

Considering you haven't met us on here and haven't been here very long looking at your no. of posts I would say you're far to quick to judge.

If you really like this forum then why are you comparing people to the chavs coming from City? The forum is only good because of the people on it.

Well said Lady !!!!!!

I people wernt allowed to post individual opinions then forums across the country would cease to exist.

 :nono:  :twak:

I dont think he realises there is a lot of humour/tongue in cheek stuff said on here ... not least by myself! :old:

I wouldn't have thought his family would be looking on here.


A friend of mine died in a car crash when I was 18, and if people that didn't know him/me had come and offered their condolences, or perchance I'd found an internet board with people putting RIP, I'd have found it very strange indeed.

I have been Looking at this site for a good 12 months + Im shy and quiet so dont post alot  , nah I just feel the comment was out
of order.

It was a post that people were saying RIP etc, not one to discuss your opinion on death and mourning, a bit of respect and maybe a different post started on Death & mourning may have been required

At the end of the day regardless if they just travelled to Pikeyville for a fight, they were still STFC fans (if you can call them that) and still give us a bad name.
 
And alot of the comments on this forum posted by a few of the regulars regarding the trouble on saturday just remind me of the Mindless burberry scarf and cap wearing schoolkids that follow shitty.  And personally I dont like Burberry (its an opinion) if you do like burberry then I appologise I dont wish to upset you.

i've refrained from posting so far because i really don't care either way, of course it's tragic for a young man to lose his life but it doesn't effect me whatsoever. that said, i don't feel the need to say that.

as for comments about the trouble at gillingham, what's that got to do with the death of this young man?

most people on this forum were at the game saturday, none of us were at wycombe nor are we wycombe fans so it's got fuck all relevance mate.

I know readin n ritin is difficullt for some, but take a look at the thread title.

right so both events happened on the same day, what else is similar?

fuck all

the thread of course made by someone who wasnt even at the game.... :roll:

The point I highlighted happens with all clubs.

I would also like to point out that I don't like Burberry either however that clearly is irrelevant to this thread as it seems to me you are stereotyping a little bit.  So what - people had a few drinks but all I am saying is that the people I saw fighting are Not people posting on here.

I think he was talking about people revelling in what happened, and to be fair I think he has a point.

Cheers Amir

I dont wanna fall out with anybody on here just certain things can wind me up same as everybody.

To be honest Narbs there are 2 very different topics on this thread that dont mix well together I see your point there..

This  mock compassion,if you or any other member of this board came on here and said one of your friends or relatives had died I would probably reply to your post with a bit of compassion because I feel linked to you through this board/football.I would feel a bit sad because you feel a bit sad.But to pretend to be shocked and gutted just because a footballer died and then have loads of near tearfull replies for some guy that you have never seen is just a bit fake for my liking.

As for the hooligan element that this board seems to attract like  stfclady and Sonicyouth it sickens me to my very core.Clearly they are reveling in Saturdays events and between you and me im pretty sure I saw Stfclady bite the head off a baby.To be fair it was quite exciting and something that these guys probably havent seen much of so their reactions can be excused.

Good riddance black cunt.

Yeovil your my hero!

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Is 'burberry wearing chavs' in relation to fans, the new catchphrase for people who really dont know what they are on about?

never a truer word spoken on this forum, i hate this fuckin labeling laziness that is fuckin descending on football and society.

Yep thats right Spencer, I dont know what Im talking about.
Ive just been going to the CG for the last 20 odd years and all the away matches I can for a good ruck, but I choose not to wear Burberry I prefer me Stone Island Jumper.

F@ck it think whatever you want life's really to short,

Don't think Lady and Sonic are hooligans.  A very few on here get over excited, and you get the likes of dave posting 'hooliganism is skill' because he got escourted from one pub to another.  That and the whole giving wanker signs and charging around like you're actually going to do something lacks a little class if you ask me.  Maybe I'm just old before my time.

Just something that gripes me, and just an opinion.

Yeovil's point is just in my opinion. But that is just opinion. It gripes me as much as people getting angry on someone elses behalf, like the Iffy/Atkinson thing

how dare you, me and lady are like the peter andre and jordan of football hooliganism

Yeovil was right in everything he said.

I simply dont care that this bloke is dead as I have no connection to him whatsoever. If that makes me a heartless cunt so be it.

I've got my own issues and everyday problems to deal with rather than feeling sad about someone I dont know being dead. As Yeovil said, people die all the time, and frankly I find the fake mourning much more offensive than someone saying they dont care.

We'll probabbly have a minutes silence for him on saturday. dont get me started on that :x  :x  :x

I think we should have a minute's silence.  What do you reckon?

Don't start  :wink:

We had one for Jimmy Davis who wasn't our player...

I think we should have one for the starving children.

I think we should have one for me.

You and Lady cant possibly be as insignificant and annoying as Peter Andre and Jordan.... :evil:

are you sure about that DV?? :roll:   :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

pot, kettle, dexito

everyone is looking at me weirdly at work because im laughing a hell of a lot, good work dave!

:D

:soapy tit wank: Nice
