Cambo_Jambo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm afraid that Eddie Thompson is not expected to last this week. He is an incredible club chairman and in the general impression I have gotten from talking to people up here is that he is a truely pleasent person. It is a very sad week for both his family and the general Scottish footballing community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Eddie thompson is a good football man and this is a tragedy. As you say, life has a way of kicking you when you're down.

Rawrrrrrrr Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Not funny my mum was 43 died to cancer.great nurse too He's not trying to be funny He's making a very good point, the only way someone could crash on the section he did was due to excessive speed, especially at the time and day he did when it was good conditions and very low levels of traffic That aside no one else paid a price and I dont think its a point people should really be too concerned about at this stage. IJ the accident was on the main A90 near dalmeny, not the village area itself. The whole situation is made all that more tragic due to Eddie Thomson's impending demise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Expert, Would it be possible for you to provide me with some stats on people, who are non riders / passengers being killed in motor cycle accidents? Would love to tally these with figures of those killed by cars who were neither driving or passengers. Infact if you find the figure, put in a new thread on the shed... pretty poor form discussing it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
