It's harder to separate transactions in a bank account. I'll try to sort something out for Monday.

Made a donation there, think a flag would be great as well as the memorial brick. Hopefully enough will be raised, which im sure it will given the popularity and high regard of EB on here

Donation sent. Cheers for organising!

Good work lads....

Donation sent. Would be great to have a flag for the two upcoming ties.

Thanks for setting this up.

Junior- we have already had a guarantee from one supplier that this can be done.

Thats great. There was a suggestion earlier in this thread (I think) of a black and white image of Eirebhoy (similar to the French fan who died). Could perhaps be put on the white part of the tricolour with his name and dates underneath - Just a suggestion?

Obviously would want to get approval for anything like this from the family first.

Thanks for organising this Maribor.

Details and discussion on the soccer forum here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showt...p?t=2055724957

Won't let me post at this link unfortunately. I think a 5-a-side is a great idea and a fantastic idea for a fundraiser for the family's charity of choice. Some of the lads I work with are regular viewers of this site and I'm sure they would be delighted to get involved aswell. If you can keep me updated as to when this is going to take place (hopefully not between 27th Nov and 30th) I will definitely get at least 2 teams involved.

you need a minimum of 50 posts on boards.ie, and 2 existing members of the soccer board have to stand as sponsors before you're allowed post in the soccer forum.
as I posted elsewhere, eirebhoy voluntarily stood as my second sponsor
If we can get a list of interested members here, I'll post the teams on the thread on boards.

If you want to lodge your donation to my bank account and I can pass on the donation via my paypal account on your behalf. Will be making my own donation in the next few days.

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

Would agree wholeheartedly with a chant at the game as well
he used to sing � r� s� do bheatha abhaile away from home

All the items flags bricks and boards leagues are greeat genuine tributes

Yep - if you do a search you'll find the whole discussion on this in the fans forum. I'm sure the technology is there to convert his youtube video into a format that could be shown on the big screen at Croker. Maybe fading his photo in somewhere in the video. Think it would be a great tribute to him .. and it would be fulfilling a wish of his.

Please note the edits to the first post in this thread:

EDIT: If you'd like to post condolences, please do so on eirebhoy's profile.

Also note that discussion of the circumstances of eirebhoy's death is not allowed on Foot.ie at this time. We may allow it later, but not for at least a few weeks.

I'll tot up the donations later but last I looked it was €870. I'll leave it open until Monday morning.

I'd suggest that a printout of the messages is sent to his family?

**tetsujin1979** · 03/11/2009, 2:33 PM

eirebhoy's sister posted this on boards.ie: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showp...8&postcount=64

**paul_oshea** · 03/11/2009, 2:46 PM

Jees reading that, she sounds about 62, its moving. That reasoned, intelligent, decent and good must run right through the family. What a lovely family.

**dahamsta** · 03/11/2009, 2:49 PM

For the record, the total up to yesterday was €971.70, from 63 donations. It doesn't include my donation, which will be the cost of PayPal fees (€55.70 up to now), plus a few quid. Well done to everyone that donated over the weekend. Again, I'll leave it open until Monday morning for people that weren't around the last few days.
