GaelicFox Posted 13 June 2016 Author Posted 13 June 2016 I'm not sure lads when it happened or on TV , the chair lad is ok I'm told a couple of stitches and actually made the game ! I have a name but obviously won't put on here I was told it this morning first hand by his mate this , who was is talking to the mans relatives and said he is in a bad way. I'm going to Bordeaux at the weekend to watch Ireland play , It's a football game , no one should go to a game worrying if they will come home !
Ross-Kemp Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 GaelicFox, I bet we know each other then. Yeah it wasn't the chap who got hit with the chair, he's fine, few stitches and a bruised ego lol The chap that's in a bad way is a top top bloke as well. Fingers crossed he pulls through.
davieG Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 A Northern Ireland fan has died in Nice, French police have confirmed. It is believed the man, who was in his 20s, was on his own and fell about eight metres from a promenade onto a rocky beach. Supt Nigel Goddard, who is leading the PSNI team in France, said he was told the man's death was an accident and not in any way disorder related. Northern Ireland played Poland in the city on Sunday night in their first match of Euro 2016. The accident happened in the early hours of Monday. "I was informed this morning by my French counterparts of this tragic news," Supt Goddard said. "The processes are that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office will make contact with this man's family. "I believe it was an accident." 'Tremendously sad news'Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster attended Sunday's game. "The whole atmosphere was one of great excitement, great joy, all the Northern Ireland fans and Polish fans were having a tremendous experience, a tremendous time together," she said "So it is tremendously sad news to hear this morning that a young fan has lost his life. I do, of course, want to express my deepest sympathy to the family back home in Northern Ireland "It is news that will come to them as a terrible shock. A young man going out there to have the trip of a lifetime and to be told that this has happened, it just is really shocking."
whoareyaaa Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Surprised more English wernt killed with the amount of trouble over there. Hopefully this lad pulls thru.
Wymsey Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Terrible. Someone should do a 'Gofundme' page, can't remember what it's called, to pay for travel/hotel cost for their family to visit them.
Chester Dontlie Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Tragic news. These things shouldn't be happening. Hopefully they will be able to to fix him somehow and he recovers... Stay safe @@GaelicFox

SheppyFox Posted 13 June 2016 Posted 13 June 2016 Hope our lad pulls through ok!! Don't understand why we let Russians be involved in anything, they cheat at the Olympics, they ruin football with their violence, disgrace I hope some of their fans get a damn good thrashing if I'm honest!

stripeyfox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Why the secrecy on the giving page? I'd consider making a donation but would prefer to know who it was I was donating to. Or am I being unreasonable?
GaelicFox Posted 15 June 2016 Author Posted 15 June 2016 Why the secrecy on the giving page? I'd consider making a donation but would prefer to know who it was I was donating to. Or am I being unreasonable? He is a humble man from a humble family and very proud people think his mates know he wouldn't want a big sob story so a bit of privacy helps the family as well As you can see from the response he is widely known and liked @@Ross-Kemp might answer it better than me
Ross-Kemp Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Why the secrecy on the giving page? I'd consider making a donation but would prefer to know who it was I was donating to. Or am I being unreasonable?I can inbox you details if you want buddy, Gaelic Fox has pretty much covered it, trying to keep his name to a minimum on social media out of respect to his family.Any questions, just drop me a message.
stripeyfox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Fair enough guys. It's unlikley that I know him, but I wish him a speedy recovery,
