[got red on me]

I was just talking to my brother about Jota, and he said he couldn’t think of another footballer at Jota’s level who’s died while still active.

He's right, isn't he?

Duncan Edwards (and the others on that plane in ‘58).
I thought your brother was Man U fan?

Weird when famous people die. Normally you just acknowledge it and it passes quickly.

Anthony Bourdain was an exception for me. Still think about him regularly, but I guess he is regularly spoken about in the media.

Jota will be the same.

Well he is, I guess we're going by how well known he was too.

Marc Vivien Foe?

Jota is more famous and is playing at a higher level.

 

[Judge Jules]

Mourinho has always been easy to hate as a football villain, but I've always thought he speaks immaculately on a human level.

A mate of mine was a Chelsea season ticket holder for some years and said Mourinho did a lot of charity work when he was manager there which never got headlines but was much appreciated locally.

Yeah, but he's the only compable player I can remember, he was at a pretty high level.

Cast earlier tonight supporting Oasis dedicated Walk Away to Jota.

 

[mark1975]

Oasis just did the same too

True

Can't think of anyone in our life time. Seems fucking typical it has to be one of our own.

You might have to go back to the likes of Munich tragedy. Tommy Taylor, Duncan Edwards and Roger Byrne were all established internationals for England at the time.

Apparently the club will honour the last two years of his contract and set up a fund for the kids and their education. Expected but still great to see.

I love Jota. He will do well if we keep him. After virjil he's my favorite player.

Actually I didn’t expect it (hoped, of course). That’s really lovely from the club.

I know it’s a tag line other fans mock us for but at times like this it does feel like at Liverpool it does mean more. The club, the city and the people are truly special.

They’ve cheapened by putting it into tagline. We all know it’s real and real things don’t need advertising and clever slogans.

 

[Squiggles]

I think it's a shitty line that doesn't really capture anything what is actually unique about the club, which is really the connection that runs through between the club, the city and supporters, a sense of togetherness and spirit and endeavor through tough times both on and off the pitch. 'This means more...'doesn't capture any of that. It's just feels a bit arrogant and kinda cheapens and dismisses the passion other supporters have for their clubs. I've never minded it getting mocked. It's a bit cultish.

 

[Farkmaster]

It's also comparative. I dont care whether this means more, it just means a lot more than it rightly should, for me.

 

[bluebell]

The club is apparently going to continue to pay Jota's family £140k/w for the next two years. Hopefully that will mean they'll live comfortably for the rest of their lives

Don’t mean to be cynical - but wouldn’t that simply represent the minimum insurance coverage the club would have on Jota? I have no idea what that would actually be, but it seems it would not be a financial burden on the club to honor that. It’s what any respectable club should do.

 

[Markeh]

i can’t answer that but big sir jim would be asking for all the training gear back washed

Depends. But now isnt the time to talk about what the insurance will/wont cover.

Today is for reflection and remembrance of a a clinical player when fit.
