    Some footage from the funeral today compiled by RTÉ/Soccer Republic featuring audio of a moving poem recited by Kenny Shiels playing over the imagery: https://www.facebook.com/SoccRepubli...9901434448937/

    Listening to that poem being recited would draw tears from a stone. The turnout at the funeral and the glowing tributes paid really outline the great guy Ryan was and how much of a loss he will be to his family, football club and community.

    RIP Ryan McBride.

    Everyone should also follow @AuctionForRyan on twitter. All for a great cause by the @TheMoanyone. And it was a brilliant idea. Great to see the LOI united during these tough times.

    Do Derry have any plans to retire the number 5? Would be a great gesture.

    Brilliant by Waterford on Saturday last night. David McDaid and Patrick McClean led the teams out onto the pitch wearing Derry McBride 5 jerseys. For the minute silence both jersey were placed in the middle of the centre circle showing the front and back of the jswrys. The club had a book of condolences open on the night. The players wore black arm bands as a mark of respect. There was also around of applause on the fifth minute https://twitter.com/daltorus/status/845700487819280387

    Some pictures of the tribute https://www.facebook.com/WaterfordFC...70967579645270

    And Irish international James McClean and he's wife were also guests of the club at the game.

    I'd really rather we didn't. I find retiring numbers cheap and gimmicky. Would much rather have a proper memorial in the new Brandywell. Something like that quote of his about dreaming of playing for Derry on the wall of the tunnel would be great.

    Ah Jaysus, just heard Shiels reading that poem for the first time with his voice breaking. Heartbreaking stuff.

    I agree, there should be a real pride in getting to wear the No. 5 shirt in a lasting tribute to Ryan McBride. Dont retire it but maybe in the days of squad numbers make it the captains shirt and the captain should always know the reason why they are given No 5.

    This was the poem read by Kenny Shiels at Ryan's funeral mass.

    Advice: It's pretty heartbreaking so don't play until you're ok.
