RIP Davide Astori

[beavis17]

Davide Astori, the defender we were heavily linked with a few years ago, died in his sleep last night before Fiorentina's game against Udinese today.

Wow, what the hell.

 

RIP.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

****, how awful. RIP Davide.

 

ADS?

[SuperSAINT]

So sad.

 

RIP.

[S-Clarke]

He has only just become a father as well, absolutely tragic.

[Bad Wolf]

Shocking news. I remember when he was linked with Saints a few years ago. R.I.P.

[beatlesaint]

What a terrible terrible tragedy - R.I.P.

[Saint Ian]

And then something puts everything into perspective. Absolutely shocking at 31. RIP.

[niceandfriendly]

Became a father 2 weeks ago. F*cking unfair :'(

[Lighthouse]

And then something puts everything into perspective. Absolutely shocking at 31. RIP.

 

Please, let's not go through this again.

 

R.I.P. Davide, truly shocking. 31 and supposedly fit as a fiddle and he apparently just drops dead.

[Suhari]

Shocking. RIP.

 

He was a really decent player and I had really hoped he'd come to us a few seasons back.

Totally understand the no one equates tragedy to football. However I think when someone is shocked by someone passing away it does make them think things like why I am getting worked up screaming hateful abuse about someone like MP whose only failing seems to be not knowing what he doing.

Don't go all SOG on us.

It’s the sabbath

[davefizzy14]

Very sad news. Great defender who we were linked with a few years ago. RIP Davide

[Bad Wolf]

Does it matter what phrase is used? If people want to say that it puts things into perspective, let them. Why does everything have to turn into a petty squabble about nothing on here?

[hypochondriac]

Doesn't put anything into perspective as I didn't know him and he's just an image and a name on a screen but I'm sure his family would be very sad that he passed away so young so I hope there are people supporting them.

That's a really long winded way of saying "Very sad. R.I.P"

[benjii]

****, how awful. RIP Davide.

People live for decades with that now. Look at Magic Johnson.

[Saint Albert]

Shocking. RIP.

[Colinjb]

Appalling. To die so young when at the prime of life.

[derry]

I read a report he had a very short illness. RIP

[scotty]

I read a report he had a very short illness. RIP

 

It must have been short if it came as a shock to the club.

 

RIP.

[hypochondriac]

Well no because I find rip to be even more of an empty platitude than what I wrote but I'd rather hope that the ones left behind who knew him personally are being supported so they can find the sadness more bearable.

[simo]

It's always a shock to hear of such things , No matter what lifestyle you lead rich or poor fit or unhealthy when it's your time it's your time use it wisely!

[Bad Wolf]

Fair point, well made.

[sadoldgit]

Don't go all SOG on us.

 

Not very classy point scoring on a thread like this, pal.

 

Very sad news when a young apparently fit family man passes away suddenly.

 

RIP

BREAKING: Criminal proceedings have been opened with regards to Davide Astori's death over the possibility of manslaughter.

Not quite how it sounds. All sudden deaths in Italy are investigated with a "culpable homicide" enquiry, a sort of "assume someone may be responsible" approach until tests prove otherwise.

[suewhistle]

Yep, nothing in the online edition of La Stampa as I write.

Yes I just read it how they get an autopsy done.

31 is too young!

And my second thought was,

Fck me, Perhaps you might also like MP to get leukaemia so he couldn’t manage us. After all it’s all about the football eh

Some thoughts are best left as thoughts. You have provided an example of one.

Wow the stuff some of you throw around on here and then turns out you are all snowflakes.....

Be interesting to find out why we never signed him if Mopo wanted him?

Has Poch just effectively admitted to tapping him up

 

I had the possibility to meet him five years ago because it was my idea to sign him when we were at Southampton. I took three hours to have lunch with him and he was a great kid, great person, great professional, great player.

Snowflakes, a term apparently used to describe someone who is easily hurt or sensitive to opinion, used by people who get rather sensitive or easily hurt by someone not sharing their stupid opinion.

 

The height of irony.

Not for thinking it. You can't control what comes into your mind.

 

However for posting in publicly in a tribute thread, you're absolute ****. No doubt you were trying to be funny and thought everyone would laugh too.

 

Absolute bellend.

[Dr. Kucho]

Photos from Astori's funeral today, very moving.

Bet he uses liberal as an insult as well.

Why do you care? He's just a name and image on a screen.

[hypochondriac]

Because I know that losing someone you are close to is very upsetting. I'm not personally affected by his death because I don't know anything about him but I'm sure there are people who were very close to him. He's just a face on a screen to me but to those who knew him personally he was obviously a lot more.
