Can this thread be stickied and put as an announcement please?

I'd also suggest editing the title. Maybe add **MISSING** to the start of it. This would make the thread more likely to catch people's attention.

Jes*s Christ some posters here are just unbelievable.

Why would people start taking the pis* out of a thread about a missing person. The fact of the matter is that there's an Irish fan missing in Poland.

Get a life and grow up.

If you don't have anything helpful to say then don't bother your ars* saying anything.

Good to see it get lots of coverage. At the moment the top 2 'most popular' articles on rte are about him.

It must make it worse for his family that he disappeared so far away. Really hope he turns up soon.

Thats a sad news - I keep fingers crossed that he will be found alive!

I just would like to assure you that Polish people do what they can to find him. With the help of other Irish fans in Poland lot leaflets have been left in many cities like Bydgoszcz, Gdansk, Warszawa, Poznan. Polish media put lot of attention to this sad news and james picture was on all news on the TV. It made also top story in the biggest online news portals. I know that there are few accounts setup already in English on Facebook/ Twitter, etc , but also Polish people setup few profiles for James to spread the words.

So far I know that a river going through Bydgoszcz was scanned by firefighters ( cameras) and scuba divers- thanks God he was not found there.
Unofficial information is that Police got the city centre monitoring videos and he was seen walking alone at 1:45am through city centre, and nobody folllowed him.

I'd like to help, but not sure how, so maybe if you have any idea and if I could help maybe with translation to Polish send me a PM.

Afew of the news reports were slightly off. Bydgoszcz is actually the 8th biggest city. It's about 2/3 the size of Dublin so it is totally possible that he got separated from his friends there and couldn't find them. If he assumed they had left for Poznan without him it is likely that he jumped on a train to Poznan. After that they were looking for him in the wrong city.

The story about the train to Berlin is strange because he would have been asked for his ticket several times on the train so he would have known he was going to Berlin.

That's heartbreaking, especially if it's him, just heard it on the radio now too

RIP
Whomever it is

Awful news, my heart goes out to his family and friends. RIP.
