RIP eirebhoy

[Poor Student]

Eirebhoy was equally as respected on the Celtic forum Kerrydalestreet as he was here and on boards.ie. Here's a thread dedicated to him there: http://kerrydalestreet.co.uk/topic/8216966/7/#new . I'm surprised to see he was only 23. His posts were always informed, rationed and informative. As others have noted, he held to some very stubbon views e.g McGeady but he was always polite about it. I'll never forget his similar devotion and appreciation for Nakamura. He'd use any excuse to sing his praises no matter how tenuous it may be to the thread. He had such enthusiasism for the game and his beloved teams. I will miss him.

i remember on the neoseeker soccer forum i would copy and paste EB's posts on here and boards and use them as my own.

its sad thinking of all he won't get to see. as an ireland supporter i'll be thinking of him at the playoffs and beyond.

[rambler14]

His last post on these boards I believe, I guess he will never get to see those games.

I've gone ahead and thanked that post and out of hope and spirit I encourage everyone else to do it. A show of support that were thinking of eirebhoy.

I hope your ok buddy. I've enjoyed many a passionate debate with ya and hopefully one day I can again.

Keep Fighting!

EDIT: Death Confirmed................Rest in Peace. I hope your killers are brought to justice.

Confirmed on RTE.ie. Dammit anyway.

R.I.P. Eirebhoy, if the posts on here are anything to go by, you've got a hell of a lot of people you can call your friends, and I hope justice prevails.

RIP.

Absolutely shocking news. He was a great poster on here and his love, appreciation and enthusiasm for real football will be sorely missed.

RIP eirebhoy.

What a shock.

[paul_oshea]

just saw rte.

That meaningless punch, one act of stupidity over nothing probably, and that fella is now facing a murder charge. what a waste of two lives....sad sad terrible waste.

Lads, I hope now we can get that flag or some tribute to EB at the matches.

[Razors left peg]

Incredibly sad news.My thoughts are with all his family and friends tonight.

Rest In Peace eirebhoy. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll miss you around here.

[Drumcondra 69er]

Just checked back on this thread hoping there was an improvement, that's awful awful news. 23 is no age, am so sorry to hear this.

R.I.P. fella, my thoughts are with your family and friends.

RIP fellah

RIP eirebhoy A life cut tragically short for probably no good reason at all. Condolences to his family and friends and I hope justice provails for them in this tough time. The build up and after toughts of Ireland matches may never be the same, a lad who had great knowledge of the game and was always great to read what he had to say.

Right , we're fighting to reach the WC, lets do it for Gearoid lads! He would be cheering the lads on 100% as he always has and they should do it for him! I hope they have foot.ie up in heaven for him where he can check on us now and again

R.I.P

Liverpool have been waiting 20 years for justice for 96 fans. Lets hope they catch his killer(s) before that time as soon as possible and they get whats coming to them.

[Paddy Garcia]

Feel totally sick, tragic news. He seemed a very decent guy.

RIP Eirebhoy

[tricky_colour]

Rest In Peace eirebhoy. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll miss you around here.

Same here, I had noticed he had not posted for a while and wondered why.
I have had my run-ins with him as I have with many forum moderators, including yourself, but I will really miss him.

[Bluebeard]

RIP Gearoid

Though you'll always be Eirebhoy to hundreds of us.

Jesus this is horrific news...never thought that i'd get upset over something like this happening to someone i only knew from the internet but he seemed like an absolute gent with a great passion (that we all share) for Irish football

RIP Eirebhoy. Condolences to the family and friends...awful awful stuff


I like the idea of the flag and would be more than willing to contribute...would be a very fitting tribute
