Friends at the game tell me that despite all attempts by paramedics a fan passed away at the Rangers match today. I understand that the man's name was Robert Learmonth.

 

May he rest in peace and may his friends and family find comfort at this sad time.

Unsurprised, I nearly died of boredom myself.

How very sad!  I hope his friends and family find some comfort in the fact that he died doing something he loved.

Not remotely funny.

I have reported it to the Mods - see button on left.  I can;t imagine why anyone would think such a remark was amusing.  I have asked for it to be deleted.

RIP Robert Learmonth

 

 

Oh and Blue_Fox - very disrespectful

Tragic.  May he rest in peace.  What exactly happened?  

Unsurprised, I nearly died of boredom myself.

f**king outrageous mate.

See ya.

Very sad news.

 

As for the comment above sometimes there is no need to point out idiocy, it is entirely apparent without being highlighted.  No time for their likes on here.

It appears that he had a heart attack, Castiel. I'm told that the paramedics worked on him for ages but to no avail.

 

Much respect to those paramedics too, who must surely feel very saddened tonight and who do a fantastic and sometimes heart-wrenching job.

Very sad news.

Loz, I may be wrong here, but I think he thought the game was the QPR/Spuds game, which was on this morning. Why else would he have watched it?

 

Therefore he thought it was a QPR fan that had died, not a Glasgow Rangers one.

 

Now, regardless, it was a ridiculously disrespectful comment, however I think he was trying to be funny rather than malicious.

 

Could be wrong though.

Rip, what a tragic thing to happen. But adversely as far as ways to go, watching your beloved football team has to be up there.

I couldn't care less which game it was Davey.  Such a remark in those circumstances is disgusting. 

QPR or our kin Glasgow Rangers?

Fair do's.

QPR or our kin Glasgow Rangers?

 

Why is that even relevant?  We're talking about a person's life here; who had a family, maybe kids, a wife, parents...  If football makes us loose sight of that then we might as well just pack it all in now.

I've not said anything different, I just wanted to know who he was talking about because I hadn't read it reported? Is it a crime to ask a question, d**khead?

RIP Robert Learmonth,my heart goes out to his family

ilovechelsea, this "he" is a she and I meant Glasgow Rangers.

 

May I respectfully suggest that a thread about someone losing their life isn't the place for name-calling and disagreement.

I've read unconfirmed reports that the guy who died was from the Prestonpans branch of the Rangers supports club, and doubly tragic if true, that his father died only yesterday.

 

A minute's silence has been proposed for Rangers next match.

 

I would respectfully suggest that this thread be moved to the Glasgow Rangers section and the less respectful comments removed.

 

RIP

R.I.P to a football fan

RIP

The utmost respect to a guy who was doing something we all do.

 

My thoughts are with his friends and family.

I too think it would be appropriate for all these disrespectful comments to be deleted - including the one which three members have seen fit to tick as "liked".

 

Comments like these make us look like RAWK. 

My Grandad died on his way to watch his beloved Charlton, and it always makes me smile knowing that he was off to the match with his red and white scarf on looking forward to his Saturday pint.

 

RIP to the Rangers fan, but at least he was doing what he loved.
