jamboron Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos_1874 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So sad watching that. Fantastic turnout though, over 40K at Ibrox today should make sure that all the charities involved get a decent wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackford Hearts Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 With all the negativity between Hearts and Rangers from last week could we not do a JKB donation to the foundation?

Taffin Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 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.

Blackford Hearts Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Anybody seen the footage of him walking out before the start of his charity game today? Emosh.

redm Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 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.

jamboron Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 3k for a newspaper ad that might have been better put in a cheque to F. Ricksen.

Pasha Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Watching that video was bloody humbling. What an awful condition to have thrust upon you at such a young age.

Ulysses Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 In response to the requests from members, we've opened a donation screen so that members can contribute to MND Scotland in acknowledgement of their respect and esteem for Fernando Ricksen. The screen will be open for at least a week, possibly longer. JKB will collect the donations in the first instance and then make a contribution. JKB will cover any PayPal fees deducted from member contributions.
