RIP SHANE WARNE

[hobbo1]

Mate, i stopped taking you seriously when you conspired to have me banned 5 years ago, it backfired, then you cried to the mods. I have laughed about it ever since.

It backfired cause you cried to willow .. you are so retarded it’s ridiculous!
Our greatest ever athlete has passed away and all you can do is speculate he passed from a drug overdose..
You are a Wanker .. the entire forum think you’re a Wanker and if Warnie had of met you he’d have said your a Wanker ..
do us all a favour and either piss off or seek help !

I do agree Dan Andrews should've waited at least a few days before announcing the grandstand re-naming.... Nice sentiment but seems insincere so soon
Gotta admit I liked him better early in his career when he was more a lad.
As OOohh ahhh said, he packed a lot into his life

Would be very hard-pressed to find anybody, sporting or otherwise, who was more iconic than Warnie in the last 30 years of our country. I can't think of any TBH. Quite an achievement in itself.

Agree re: the government. Almost everything they do has some sort of altruism behind it.

A terrible loss. Sincere condolences to his family and many friends. Doubt we will ever see his like again. Simply one of the greatest cricketers of all time.

Hobbo you are way out of line.

Someone needed to tell the flog .

Still can't believe this. There'll never be another. As soon as he came on to bowl excitement increased as it always felt like he was about to take a wicket (aside from that debut test of course).

Vale 'Warnie'. Thoughts are with his immediate family and loved ones.

A sudden heart attack can't just happen.

Wrong.

They're all 'sudden', which is why poor outcomes are so common.

Smoking cigarettes alone hugely increases the risks, never mind any other genetic or lifestyle factors.

What time period needs to have elapsed for it to be 'sincere'?

He is the second greatest cricketer this country has ever produced and the greatest to come from Victoria; the Great Southern Stand being renamed is a no-brainer.

Smoking is a massive factor in heart attacks

I don't think GNR made this thread about him and GNR and I have had some tiffs over the years. Others having a go at him made it about him.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Absolutely mate. You'd remember how he had the edge over Daryl Cullinan. Well, according to the South African news, Warnie died on Cullinan's birthday. I also loved the way he named Ian Bell the Sherminator. Would love to have been out there to hear him chirp.

Warnie had Cullinan out even before he made it to the crease.
Daryl must have had nightmares about Warnie.

I gave a POV that had not been mentioned. It may be bs, and it might not have been the time, I put my hand up and acknowledge that. I didn’t reply to anyone’s comment or get snarky with anyone. In regards to the renaming of the stand, there have been others who have agreed, yet they didn’t get called out over it.

Black armbands on both the Australian and Pakistan teams today at Rawalpindi.

We'll just throw it in with many of your other recent atrocities such as...

Mocking the lady that died from covid.
Calling a culturally important game to two nations, irrelevant.
Making a distasteful joke about brooks haters being self harmers.
Shaming women for their promiscuous pasts which they may regret.

Outstanding.

This is a public forum that many read, more than just the fan base.
Shane's family or people who know him and his family may read it... not even 24 hours after his tragic passing and there's a peanut making insinuations of drug use and comparing it to Kobe Bryant's death, a helicopter crash...

Nonsensical beyond belief, @Geo summed it up pretty obviously yet some one close to 40 doesn't have the understanding or awareness of social constraints or empathy to understand such a simplistic sign of respect to a person and the people that care about him.

Quite the embarrassment.

I’m sure you could make a long list of a lot of things posters have said over the years that have been distasteful, not just cherry picking the ones you don’t like. I have no idea where the reference to Brooks haters being self harmers came from. Wtf? As for Kobe, I meant a larger than life athlete that was a cultural hero. That’s what I meant by Kobe vibes. But misinterpret that either purposely or not if it helps your argument.

Please can we all take the time to read a particular post contained in the link below. I am sure after reading the post we can all back off and de-escalate the discussion. Thank you.

Very complex illness... Some people you wouldn't be able to tell and some appear very effected. Some medications appear to manage it well and some may find it does not help at all. How do you find, living with it @upthetigers ? I can assure you, you're not the only one... I find it very...
