    My dad sadly passed away last night suddenly and without any warning......

    I saw him last night and we both went home our seperate ways. Sadly on the way he collapsed and died yards from his house.

    We were going to the match today as we are season ticket holders and have been since 96..... I know he would have wanted me to go but I just couldn't bring myself to sit next his empty chair for 90 minutes.

    Those 3 points were for you dad.......

    Every sympathy for you - my dad passed away (years ago) suddenly - it still hurts that I never had the chance to say my goodbyes..............stay strong I'm sure your father would have wanted nothing but the best for you, and, I'm sure you'll stay strong

    Im so sorry, that's really heartbreaking.


    You both spent that last bit of time with each other. That's really important. Some people never get that chance. I'm sure as a Reds fan he'd have loved that display tonight. I'll have a beer for you both. Take care

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, mate. It certainly puts transfer gossip and other such nonsense in perspective.
    Sincere condolences to you and your family.
