I am sad to post that Brian Whittaker, a former professional footballer with
Partick Thistle, Celtic, Hearts and Falkirk was killed yesterday in a road
smash. A decent pro, never an outstanding player, he recently became an agent
after retiring.

My thoughts are with his family.

Yep, always sad to hear this kind of thing.

There was a minutes silence before tonights Pars vs Hearts match, and
every person in the ground obeyed that silence. When that whistle went
after the 60 seconds, the roar of pure adrenelin showed the respect
given to the player.

It really puts the over-reaction to the Di debacle into perspective
(IMO).
