Suicide? Goosebumps.

 

Same. Actually shaking with shock here. Can't believe this.

 

i'm stuck between shock, upset and rage. It was the way Sky Sports News seemed to move swiftly onto Ferguson and the penalty 'travesty'.

 

Aye, can't fucking comprehend that. They wouldn't do that if someone was sacked ffs.

 

Not sure. Didn't see SSN, but in terms of coverage, they probably couldn't have had more than about a minute's worth of things to say at this point.

Looked the least likely person to kill himself, so calm and sensible.

 

Sorry if that sounds naive but you know what i mean.

 

Might be naive, but totally in the same boat. Unreal, gutted.

same, everything just seemed to be turning right on a professional basis with Wales starting to come good

Wales manager Gary Speed has died, Welsh FA confirm. Found hanging at home according to police.

10 minutes ago

 

From the Telegraph's crime correspondent.

 

Is it just me or does anyone else find this report's vocabulary a tad blunt? Fucking pisspoor journalism.

There wasn't even any respectful pause, just straight back to the constantly looping Ferguson interview.

Shearer was our official captain and a good one at that but for me Speed was always our true captain, the way he looked out for the younger players especially Viana who once remarked how Speed was like an older brother or uncle to him when he arrived. Bobby also said he was great at stuff like that. I'm genuinley shocked about this, he was one of my fave Toon players ever and someone I'd have in my all-time Toon XI. He was superb for us, he never seemed to miss a game and didn't complain wherever he was played or used. I'll never forget how upset he was when he was sold out of the blue and how upset Bobby was over it too. In fact I remember getting loads of e-mails sent in and comments through the main site when I was running it, mostly from pretty irrate fans. I'm sure Nufc.com made a big fuss about it as well. What a tragedy, such a top player and lovely bloke. :(
