Book of Condolence & Memorial

**onenilgameover** · 30/10/2009, 1:32 PM

I'd like to contribute to a flag in whatever way I can. I got so much information and knowledge from EB. I'm in shock to be honest.

**rambler14** · 30/10/2009, 1:47 PM

I would like to suggest that we name one of the sub-forums after him. I think the Fans Forum should now be the Eirebhoy forum.

**centre mid** · 30/10/2009, 2:18 PM

Thats an excellent idea rambler14

**irishultra** · 30/10/2009, 2:32 PM

I would like to donate some money as well for a flag.

**FarBeag** · 30/10/2009, 2:38 PM

I am happy to contribute to anything you guys deem appropriate. I still cannot believe he will not be with us anymore.

I think the flag and the aviva stadium memorial brick are great ideas. I'm happy to contribute, - maybe the FAI could provide the aviva stadium memorial as their contribution.

Thanks very much for taking this on MariborKev. I'll let you know when I have the PayPal account ready.

You can make a donation to the memorial fund by clicking below. The link will take you to PayPal, when you can pay by credit card or with your PayPal account if you have one. You don't need a PayPal account to make a donation, and you won't be required to set one up afterwards.

[Donations are no longer being accepted. Thanks to everyone that donated.]

The PayPal account is for my business, however the donations are received via the email address eirebhoy AT foot DOT ie, to keep them separate from everything. I won't post a running balance, but I'll will update MariborKev daily. He's running the show and making the final decisions about what to do with the funds.

I'll include a Donate button when I set up the book of condolence over the weekend.

At the moment the idea seems to be for a flag and a memorial stone, funds permitting.

If any graphic designers would like to submit ideas etc, please get in contact with me.

Would it be an idea to check with his family first?

Something simple, such as his photo with his name and RIP with year of birth - 2009 would probably be ideal.

Lansdowne stone should be perfect and can be decided at a later date.

Any chance of putting up a bank account number and sort code to make a donation, dont posess a credit card or paypal account.

Just sent a donation. Well done for organizing something, I'm sure a lot of people will want to contribute.

Yup I would say that's is the way it will go.

**billybunter** · 31/10/2009, 2:15 AM

Very sad to hear the news of a true fans passing. Rest in Peace Eirebhoy.

**SUB of the day** · 31/10/2009, 6:55 AM

Truly shocking, a serious dose of perspective, RIP. Many of you will be aware of the French fan murdered in Belgrade recently, his club paid a very moving tribute to him at their next home game.A large white flag with his image in black was unfurled.I will gladly contribute to whatever is deemed most appropriate.The idea of the memorial brick at the new stadium is inspired.

**backstothewall** · 31/10/2009, 9:49 AM

Flag and stone are great ideas. Happily made a donation

Have the FAI said anything? Will there be a minutes silence or anything before the France game?

**tetsujin1979** · 31/10/2009, 1:33 PM

boards.ie are putting together a memorial 5-a-side tournament, anyone interested in putting together a few teams to enter?

**back of the net** · 31/10/2009, 2:59 PM

Was just wondering about the singing section in the Davin Stand, singing a song in EB's honour as team comes out at the start ?

Am i right in saying(correct me if im wrong ) that EB was trying to get the "We follow We follow" chant used in ireland games?

Any suggestions for songs to sing ?

It would be great tribute to EB if the whole stadium started singing a football song at the game , a song that would support the team but also a footballsong that was close to EB's heart

opinions and/or suggestions welcome and appreciated

Tks:

**rellik** · 31/10/2009, 3:18 PM

Donated. Thanks for setting this up.

**paul_oshea** · 31/10/2009, 3:50 PM

Ya it was his suggestion back of the net, i was saying on the other thread that i thought this wuld be a great idea if you could get everyone singing it at the start of the match for a minute as a tribute to him.

Thks paul,

i am in that section myself and i remember ppl singing it near me at one of the games -i had never heard it prior to that nite - i didnt know the words but made sure to learn them after that night

Would singing YNWA as the team comes out be a good idea - the reason been more ppl in the stadium would be familiar with it, its a celtic song(EBs club) and i think it is an emotional and a very atmospheric song and would be a nice tribute to EB?

Then we could maybe start chants of "we follow" during the game?

Just a suggestion - would again appreciate feedback from all, tks
