VSBfromH 74 Posted January 2, 2012 ...and he's only gone and bloody got it with hours to go! Well done to Gobbing on Life,,, What a coincidence! Just 5 minutes ago I was idly perusing the DDP and looking at the teams who had scored 0 points (not that I fared much better!), and for some reason chose to look at Gobbling On Life's team in more detail. Well done indeed sir! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted January 15, 2012 Dean Windass tried to take his own life twice earlier this week. Presumably he got frustrated by his inability to find any crayons to write his suicide note in and gave up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,133 Posted January 15, 2012 He turned to booze, often downing 10 to 15 pints of lager and lime. How unfashionable. Didn't think anyone had lime in their lager these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted January 16, 2012 Just saw this edit on the "deaths in 2012" page on wiki Stefano Borgonovo, 44, Italian FootBaller, suicide Not sure if there's any confirmation yet. Anyone have any news? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,439 Posted January 16, 2012 Just saw this edit on the "deaths in 2012" page on wiki Stefano Borgonovo, 44, Italian FootBaller, suicide Not sure if there's any confirmation yet. Anyone have any news? With the ability to look really callous in a few hours, its nowhere else, off Wiki already, and the person who edited it in also edited in the death of some American sportscaster who seems to be alive too - Bryant Gumble - so I'll assume its one of those Wiki-hoaxes. Though Wiki is the 2nd last place you should take as an acknowledgement of death, behind notaguest when he posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted January 19, 2012 I assume this will go in here 4 football teams seem to be on the brink In England we have Kettering Town and Darlington and in Scotland we have Heart of Midlothian and Rangers. If I had to get rid of one of those 4 teams, I would not hesitate in sayin g Rangers. Once one half of the Old Firm dies the other will die as well, Good riddance to both of them !!!!!!!
