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.

hypochondriac Posted 4 March, 2018 Share Posted 4 March, 2018 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.

Wurzel Posted 5 March, 2018 Share Posted 5 March, 2018 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
