Oliver Byrne, Rest in Peace

RIP Ollie, you made the League a more interesting place. :(

RIP Ollie

It was with great regret that i heard the news of Oliver's passing yesterday morning. Having crossed swords with him on many occassions, he was the type of person who you either liked or disliked. However, underneath it all was a man who was passionate about his football Club and went to whatever lenghts he felt was needed to develop it. Whether you agreed or dis agreed with his methods (quite often mis-guided), you cannot disguise the love he had of 'his' football club.

Having had many differences of opinion over the past few years there was a mutual respect and i'm sure there are many out there in the same boat.

The league will be a poorer place without the 'character' who was Oliver Byrne.

Rest in Peace Oliver.:ball:

RIP Ollie

RIP Ollie. You'll be sadly missed. Ollie had his faults but his heart was in the right place and Irish football will be the poorer without him.

Condolences to the family and all at Shels.

RIP ollie a true Red and an LOI legend.

Was saddened when heard the news yesterday morning. A man who lived for his club and maybe died for it too.

RIP Ollie, I know many at Mons who will miss clashing swords with you.

Shels fans, friends and family of Ollie, our thoughts are with you all.

Got a shiver down my spine yesterday morning when I read the text that bore the news.
He wasn't everyones cupan tae but he was a football man who loved his team.
R.I.P.

RIP Ollie. I'll always remember his phenomenal workrate, one that all those operating in the game should aspire to.

R.I.P. Ollie. A love him or hate him character but a sad loss.

RIP Ollie, his legacy was always going to be decided by Shels and their fans, and the pride and love in which they speak of him tells you all you need to know. Sad day for Irish football.

Ollie RIP

R.I.P.

Well done Ollie. Slán abhaile.

R.I.P.

who will now defend us againist the beast.... a very sad loss to all at shels

Sad news. Another big character gone from the league. RIP.

He lived the dream....RIP Mr Shelbourne

R.I.P what he did for shels was what a true L.O.I fan would do

RIP Olliver. I think the pressure that was put on him was too much tbh.

Personally I thought Ollie epitomised all that is wrong with Irish football but he was one hell of a character and I think it is especially apt to say he loved Shelbourne "not wisely, but too well".

Rest In Pease Ollie, you'll be missed.
