I made him a mod on another forum cause the guy just knew everything about soccer and he was one of the most decent people I ever met on an Internet Forum This is a tragedy, and I'm devastated to be honest. Feel so bad for his family, and friends, but more importantly that this happened to him.

RIP mate.

I am genuinly deeply saddened by this. I had no individual dealings with him, but as many have said, a level headed and friendly poster. He formed part of our community here on the soccer forum and will be missed by all.

May he rest in peace.

Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Judging from the reactions of all the people he came into contact with on here, I can only imagine what a sound lad he was.

I was just thinking, I never thought there'd come a day when the death of a young man I've never met and who's only interaction with me was a series of 1s and 0s would hit me like this, but then I realised that despite the medium we used Gearóid was as much a part of the community I existed in as my next door neighbour, or my school mates, or my work colleagues...and it all makes a little more sense.

No family should have to suffer what his family are suffering right now, and my heart goes out to them.

RIP eirebhoy, you will be sorely missed.

p.s. thanks to Des for his offer to arrange flowers and a donation to charity, it would be great if despite all our differences on here that we united as a community to express our sorrow collectively.
