[Redzer]

Sad news indeed. Sincere sympathy to his family and friends.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam.

[gufct]

a minute's silence will be observed on Friday night in Terryland for wws.

[Stuttgart88]

Very sorry to hear this, RIP.

[green-blood]

Anyone willing and able to organise a wreath or something for Friday form the Foot.ie board, that anyone willing could chip-in for via Paypal or something ?

great idea, I'll be going to the funeral tomorrow so if anyone wants to PM me for a paypal address, I'll gladly get a wreath at the local florist and put a condolance message from all EL fans

[Peadar]

I've organised two wreaths, one from his Cork City friends and another from his Bohs friends, at the request of Philo.

[joeSoap]

Rest in Peace. :(

[Partizan]

I'm in absolute shock. Having used this site for over 4 years, wws' banter and wit was well known and I enjoyed his posts immensely(even though I never met the guy). A huge loss and my condolences and sympathy to his family.

RIP.

[green-blood]

cool, great stuff

I'll put the clubs of any other fans who want to chip in on this on, I've 2 others already contributing.

he'd have loved this type of thing, of course half way thru the ceremony he'd have dropped a line that got everyone arguing !!!

Peader - would you be able to sort one on behalf of Derry City fans and I'll sort yee for the cash ?

I would PM you, but that would inviolve the hassle of clearing my messaage box...! :eek:

Thanks dude.

[Peadar]

Sorry Steve, I had to play on the kind spirit of the florist in order to get two made today. I wont be around later to collect another one.
Try Sheila's Flowers... (http://www.buy4now.ie/sheilasflowers/shopping.aspx?loc=C&catid=5)

[David]

Deepest condolences to family and friends. Very sad news.

[drinkfeckarse]

Just saw this now. Liked his sense of humour. R.I.P.

[dahamsta]

I could be wrong, but might wws prefer a collection for charity or towards the club? I'd be happy to arrange the collection and throw a few quid in myself of course.

adam

[pineapple stu]

Sounds a good idea actually.

[Ash]

Put me down for a contribution to whatever is organised please.

Not sure if I can make to to Dublin tomorrow in time so deepest
condolences to all Petes family and friends.

[Paddyfield]

The fans of the League of Ireland form a very unique community. We are rivals but we support each other.

I'm not a St. Pat's fan but I was cheering them on the night they humiliated Celtic in Glasgow. I'm sure Peter was there.

The posts on foot.ie are a testing tribute to one of our own.

May Peter Rest In Peace.

We'll check with the family tomorrow as to what charity they'd prefer (although it'll be Saturday/Sunday before I post it here...)

[Martinho II]

sorry to hear that wws passed away. i never had the honour of meeting him but i had the honour to reading his numerous emails. he will be much missed.:mad:

rip.

[CollegeTillIDie]

wws RIP.. I think it was mentioned by Daniel McDonnell on the Weekly Eircom League 11 minutes, on Newstalk tonight .

[Xlex]

I've met pete on a number of occasions. Hard to put into words the impression he left on both myself and Sinéad. He had a very instant welcome and when Macy introduced us for the first time you couldn't but warm to him. He was a witty and clever individual. Always at the sharp end of the banter, and the great thing about having met him was that you could immediately appreciate his humour on the net, and enjoy the cheek of the git.

A real nice guy. We'll all miss him.

To his family and friends, condolences on the passing for Peter. I wish you all courage and strength in the future.

RIP WWS

Regards.
Brendan

[green-blood]

Peter would be proud - no need to estimate the crowd, it was a sell out

cheerio WWS

[Carlin]

R.I.P.

[A face]

What ever ye are chipping in for i'm in. Donation to charity sounds good. Do some of the Pats fans want to suggest one? Still cant get over, never met the guy but cant help but feeling we all knew him well from his posts on here.

[dahamsta]

One of the lads is going to ask the family which charity they'd like the money donated to, in the meantime please make a donation via PayPal or credit card here:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=ep%40foot%2eie&item_name=Donation%20to%20charity%20for%20Peter%20 Ryan%2e&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=EUR&lc=IE&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8

I'll cover all transaction costs, as well as making a donation myself of course, and I'll post a running total as we go. Shall we let it run for the month?

Thanks,
adam

RIP wws

only knew him through here and always enjoyed reading his posts he will be realy missed.

[The Sheliban]

Just back from holidays and can't really believe this.

We had some good verbal jousting over the years - his loathing of Shels was legendary! - but he knew his stuff and had a really wicked sense of humour.

RIP

[Peadar]

Any update on the total raised for charity?
Any decision on which charity?

[dahamsta]

€247 by my count. I thought you were enquiring about the charity, so it must be Dodge that was doing it?

[Peadar]

No, Dodge had offered to enquire about the charity.

[ollie]

Never met him but enjoyed reading his many posts. Always sad when someone is taken away from us at such a young age.
Ar dheis De go raibh d'anam dilis

[Magicme]

Having just come from the funeral of a dear friend & relation today I have a better understanding of the pain that friends & family of wws are feeling.

My mate was only 31 one of the most amazing artists, musicians, writer & person. Its so hard to comprehend.

[Billsthoughts]

thankyou to everyone who contributed to this thead. We have printed off this one and the one on the Pats forum and bound them so that everyone in our family can read the comments. Also the Pats lads have printed off copies and placed them by Peters grave for people to read.

[Réiteoir]

Pretty sure I met Peter at the old eL MB matches in the Phoenix Park, and also at a couple of eL matches.

A true gent - he'll be sorely missed - that's for sure...

[Billsthoughts]

Just to let you know the months mind will be in Rathcoole church at 630pm on Saturday the 12th of May and all are welcome to attend. the below acknowledgement should be in tomorrows Independent and Herald.


RYAN, PETER, who died 3rd April 2007 (Rathcoole Co Dublin) – Peter’s parents, Eamonn and Mary, his brothers, Michael, Austin and John, and his sister Aine would like to thank all those who sympathised with them on their recent sad loss.

Peter`s Months Mind Mass will take place in RATHCOOLE church on Sat 12th May at 6.30pm

[Peadar]

I submitted a piece to the Cork City programme for tomorrow's game. Hopefully it will be printed. Probably wont mean much to most people but I'm grateful to the club for giving me the chance to remember Peter.

[Jaime]

Can you scan that Peadar, or else stick it up here? Cheers.

[Peadar]

I'll try to sort something out at the weekend.

[Dodge]

I'll get it up on on Friday (as I'll be at the game tomorrow)
