RIP Diogo Jota

[worldpanel]

Everyone deals with grief in their own way.
One of our footie guys died at the gym, aged 50, something they call the widowmakers heart valve, pretty hard to spot.
He was one one (everyone's) best friend in a unique way.
Our way of grieving was to organize a match between comrades.
I think it was like 17 a side on the pitch, plus whiskey and beers afterwards.
And tears.
The funeral was okay, but the emotions on the field and afterwards at the bar brought some finality to it.
Today, 5-6 years later, we still have him with us in conversation.
~~~~~~~~
I hope the boys at Anfield can channel their emotions benefitting all that Jota was, and honor him with some performances befitting of what he deserves.

I agree,i know a number of people who dont do funerals but go to the grave a few days later to pay there respects and have a moment to reflect.
Not ronaldo's biggest fan but he's right already turned into a media circus,we've all seen the invasive pics of jota's mum and wife and there would have been some players who didnt want there grief spread across the newspapers.

Yeah, it was a horrible invasion of their privacy by the Paparazzi/Media jerks.

I read earlier that Zamora civil guard say all the evidence suggests it was Diogo Jota who was driving the car and was significantly exceeding the speed limit.
Also there was talk of that part of the motorway being uneven and a bit treacherous, but that doesn't seem to be the case here by the sounds of it...
A senseless and tragic accident either way. So hard to comprehend, even now almost a week later...
