Just finished watching the friendly on catch-up...the tribute at the end had me properly crying 😢 no other words !

Only watched a few minutes if that of the preseason friendly yesterday.. It was bizarre when we made changes.. I kept imaging we were bringing on Jota.. he will leave a huge space in the club thats for sure..When a player moves sometimes its hard seeing them play for someone else. I got that feeling when Suarez left. But at least we knew he was actually plying his trade some place else. Its hard to deal with knowing he and his brother are no longer here with anyone..

some people deal with grief differently. I was only 14 when my dad passed.. i went to his funeral and that was the last one i went too..had several close relatives die and i haven't been to any.. that may sound selfish.. Just the realism of death and the finality comes home.. Just because Diaz maybe seen as partying. doesn't mean he doesn't care..Maybe thats the only way he can deal with horrific things like this.. Its pretty sad to say but as a club.. we'll have to move on from the tragedy of Jota and his brothers death and do it quickly (without ever forgetting them). otherwise everything will come to a standstill.
No one could ever have perceived this was going to happen.. such a shame that it did..

Only just read this just,my dad also died when I was 14 on 1st May 1982(misadventure verdict,he was pissed and choked on his own vomit at the age of 36)....7 years later in 1989 my Great Uncle and one of my Great Aunt's died on the same night in the same house I live in now....I went to bed and my other 2 great aunt's(all brothers and sisters) heard her say to my great Uncle before going upstairs 'John,don't go tonight we'll go together'...Both died overnight...still gives me the shivers now all these years later!...

the last bit is a bit spooky...sorry to hear about your dad.. My dad had me late in life he was 55-ish. so around 70 when he died back in 1993.. The good old cigarettes did for him.. emphysema and a chest infection a double whammy..
Thankfully i have never smoked.. I remember going into his bedroom and saying dad,dad. and he just laid there (sorry sounding morbid now)... Anyway I hope in time Jota's kids can find a father figure of some kind. it will never replace their real father.. But to this day..I never really knew my dad in later life.which is what i still miss..
The whole thing around the sad accident to Jota and his brother, brings home life and how fragile it can be. And everyone has a story to share on this subject.
we all have to move on and face each thing as it comes. such a sad thing that happened, Even other clubs fans and players have come together to mark this tragedy. Which is someways shows we are united and putting rivalries apart
