Sat'day night one of our supporters was tragically killed when he was in collision with a tram in Nottingham city centre. Although things have yet to be established, knowin' "My Owd" he would have had a pot or two, but to have your life snuffed out in the bat of an eye-lid at 23yrs is just so un-f**kin' fair.
We lost 5-0 yes'day. Does it really matter though, relegation, out the cup, totally irrelevant.
We are lookin' down the barrel already, so what.
Next time your team have lost look around yourself at the people,friends and think......................Would I trade three points for one of those lives.
Football, I thought it mattered, I thought it really mattered, but does it bollocks.

Sutton fans know exactly how you feel frankie, we lost one of our own guys at a young age last season and it really does, to use the old cliche, put things in perspective but the best way to approach it is to think what would they be doing if they were still about and you can guarantee it would be cheering on their team, so you have to keep doing that. If it's anything like how i found it, all the memories of the person at football are happy ones which really helps as you can look back and smile. Also, when you can't do anything more to help or think what to say then shouting onto a football pitch clears yer head and helps you get back to normal. There's not a lot you can say but the one thing you can't do is let it damage your enjoyment of football and life, it's the last thing anybody would've wanted. Remember them and be inspired

These things put it all into perspective Frankie, but in the end I'm sure "My Owd" wouldn't want his fellow Hucknall supporters to mourn forever and give up.
Dedicate the next game to his memory and win, lose or draw celebrate like you know he'd want you to.

Thanks for the kind words folks. Don't worry I'll be at Watnall road on Sat'day and I'm sure more than a few pints will be downed in Matts honour. He liked a pint and was a character and will be missed and as you say, he wouldn't want us to be down forever "My Owd" didn't do miserable.
