LoveNgoo Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Seen this posted on my Facebook tonight so thought I'd post it on here, apologies if it's already been mentioned. Folks, I have a HUGE favour to ask. Sadly, a young Jambo - 14 year old Robbie McDonald - has been taken from us all too soon. His family are trying - as a mark of respect to their son and brother - to get as many fans as possible to applaud during the 14th minute of our match against Falkirk tomorrow. If you are attending the game, please join in, as Robbie's family will also be there and they know how much Robbie would have appreciated such a gesture. Also ... PLEASE ... share this status/retweet this as much as possible so that it can be a fitting tribute to a fine young man. Rest in peace, Robbie.

Please don't think I'm being funny but is this true or just a FB rumour? So much shit and lies are posted there I'd hate to see us being ridiculed for celebrating a non-existant death.

portobellojambo1 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The information on FB seems to have emanated from View from Gorgie's FB page. I'm guessing it is the same person who runs the website of the same name, rather than just a random person for example, although not sure if that offers any more veracity to those possibly questioning the sentiment within the message.

Locky Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Me and my mate stood up and applauded loud and proud. Seeing the whole stadium do it made me almost emotional. I really love this club.

Mr-sad Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I know I questioned whither this was gen last night (and was convinced it was gen in the end up) but we did this laddie and his family proud today.
