Billy Sharp (Doncaster) deserves a mention.

[Guest SpiderLucas]

His 2 day old son died just 2 days ago, and he’s playing tonight.

 

Just scored a good goal from the edge of the area for Doncaster.

 

Thoughts are with him and his family.

I hope to fuck he didn't get booked for that

[Trumo]

He didn't, so fair play to the ref for recognising the circumstances, and fair play to Billy Sharp for turning out to play despite personal tragedy.

[moof]

Indeed, can't imagine how he must be feeling.

[Anubis]

Tough gig for the lad. I wonder if he just needed to get out and do something, anything, and that's why he played.

[silverlining]

Yes, I'm not sure if that is immensely brave, or just the best way of him coping with the tragedy, but either way it's a nice tribute and it's fitting that he scored.

[Steve Holt]

He told his boss on Monday that he wanted to play and score for his little boy. And he did it. Fair play to him. Strong man.

[Torvald Utne]

He could also be avoiding being at home with his inconsolable wife...just sayin like.

[goatboy59]

It made me feel uncomfortable.

 

The lad himself has to get through it in his own way, and if you've suffered a major loss eg Titi and Rafa you are 100% allowed to do what you see fit.

 

But a small part of me thought "does everything have to go on a t-shirt nowadays?"

 

I'm sure his wife was surrounded by family.

I think this tribute to his son was one of the fitting things to put on a shirt.

 

As funny as the Balotelli “why always me” was it’s nowhere near as needed as this was, it takes a brave man to do what he did.

 

Like somebody said before, hands up to the ref who didn’t book him for it, common sense prevails.

[Liverpool lad]

Great goal as well.

[magicrat]

very sad

fair play to the bloke for scoring and his tribute.

Probably now wondering why the oxygen thief Diouf got more than 3 days.

[liverbobs]

All respect to the guy for playing after such a tragedy, makes Tevez look an even bigger c*nt as well!

Not so sure about that and not for me to judge but I'm not sure...nah, not for me to say but it doesnt feel quite right

[Alex Gibbo]

I think the ref has to be credited for not booking the poor fella, that rule can be so heartless at times.
