Fernando Ricksen (donation link added)


The Great Khali

Excellent turn out from the fans, also well done to Celtic for donating cash as well, it shows that when it matters that vitriol can be forgotten between both sides of the Glasgow divide.

I dare say normal service will resume for next weekend .

It's a horrible disease and it's such a shame to see the decline of someone who, not long ago, was so fit and athletic. Glad to see he got such a fantastic turnout and reception.

Really tough to watch that. I feel so sorry for him and his family but glad there was a big turnout for this event and I hope it gives him a big boost.

So sad watching that. Fantastic turnout though, over 40K at Ibrox today should make sure that all the charities involved get a decent wedge.

With all the negativity between Hearts and Rangers from last week could we not do a JKB donation to the foundation?

I would be happy to start off with ?100.

It would be an excellent cause and show humanity for such a sad situation?

3k for a newspaper ad that might have been better put in a cheque to F. Ricksen. Just a thought.

Bad idea watching that in the office.

 

Bloody awful stuff :(

 

Great turnout for him and good to see the Rangers fans putting all the shit to the side to get behind a good cause.

Heartbreaking to watch. Feel terrible for him, that must have been painful to go through a reminder of what his life used to be like.

 

Big courage and bravery to go out there. Delighted the fans and players turned up for him in support.

Think that would be a really nice touch and hopefully show that despite all the bickering some things really transcend football and it's rivalries

Sat in a queue waiting to load wiping tears from my eyes watching that. The guy in the truck next to me asked me if I was Ok so I showed him the video then he understood why I was in tears. It's a hard watch.

Great idea.

MODS what's best way to do this? Is there a JKB account to start payments with? If we pay as individual then we presumably could get the tax relief added.

Anybody seen the footage of him walking out before the start of his charity game today?

 

:sob:

 

Emosh.

Seen that earlier today, fair play to the rangers fans for turning out in such big numbers

Bit skint but would happily chuck a fiver in the pot. Some things are just more important than football. This is a great idea

Hats off to rangers fans for the turn out. Really sad to see how ricksen is in the video and how quickly he's declined. Gutted for the guy.

That was a tough watch. I really feel for the guy.

 

Did I hear that McCoist was banned from attending due to the conditions of his gardening leave? Seems very petty.

Christ, what a bloody cruel disease. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how much he had deteriorated in such a short space of time. That video was truly heartbreaking.

Well done to the Rangers fans for turning out like that, you could see how much it meant to him.

I'd heard that too. Seems pretty petty to me.

 

Fernando is only a few years older than me, it's just awful to see how devastating this disease is and it's only the start of his battle. So sad!

Fernando is younger than me and it really hurt to watch that.

 

Always dreaded him being named on the teamsheet which was a huge compliment to him

I agree 100% with your post, BUT unfortunately that was paid for by fans and not by the club .who as I say at least showed dignity in their response to this tragic occurence.

Watching that video was bloody humbling. What an awful condition to have thrust upon you at such a young age.

It certainly puts all my day to day problems into perspective.

Respect to the gers fans for such a fantastic attendance.

Paid on the 15th but I'd gladly chuck in a tenner if we were to do some sort of thing for that.

Anyone know how I can do this? I can use a bank account of mine and post the details but would it be better if it went into a central account?

Got to donate more than $13.95. What's that about ?

 

Oops, that was the setting we had for the previous donation, which was for the 5-1 book. 

 

It should be fixed now.

I have organised a charity eveny through my work for charities associated with MND. Very sad reading even if i never rated him as a player. Just wish him and his family all the best.
