R.I.P Lidge

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Most of you would have read the other boards and seen that Kangaroos moderator and Roo-sistance leader Lidge passed away unexpectedly today.

It just seems like a respectful thing to do to not only journey over to the Roos board and add our sentiments but to convey those feelings in here as well.

Top Roo, worthy adversary, passionate bloke, good mod .... I hope the Pies are hot, beer is cold, crowds are cheering and blue and white stripes are flying, wherever your next journey takes you mate.

Hope the Rooboys win one for you.

RIP mate

OMG, that is terrible news. Never really had much to do with him at BF, but always liked what he posted, an was a great part of the BF family.

RIP Lidge

I've only run into him a few times on BF, so I didn't know him much. However what I do know is that he was a gun poster, intelligent and articulate - and his passion to the Roos was unquestionable. I still can't believe he is gone... enjoyed reading his posts, and his work on Bay13 was quite humourous too. BF will be worse off without Lidge, that's for sure. A great contributor not only to this site, but for North as well - he will not be forgotten.

Let's hope the Roos win this weekend for him, I know I will be gunning for them to win in his honour.

RIP Lidge. We'll miss you.

[mushda]

Terrible news to hear.

RIP Lidge.

 

[blues4flag]

That definitely a shock. Horrid to here.

Have read quite a few of his posts on my time on this site - a top poster and also a fair moderator in my experience.

Condolences to his friends and family.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Wishes to his family and friends. North doesn't have many better supporters.

 

[shiva25]

Shocking news.Always enjoyed his posts.Anyone have any idea how he passed away and how old he was?

 

[sherb]

That is very sad news.

A quality poster and a quality individual as well going by what I have read elsewhere on the site.

I hope his loved ones are coping as best they can at this awful time.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

He carded me only a week or so ago .....

 

[nutcase888]

my mate who barracks for the roos told me this morning. He said he was a top bloke that gave him information he would not have got anywhere else during the whole Gold Coast saga. We are going to the tribute drinks before the roos game on Sunday.

RIP Lidge

 

[walshy93]

Had an encounter or two on Bay 13, but he was passionate, and a nice bloke outside Bay 13 as well

Have a good time wherever you are...

RIP mate.

 

[THEBLOODS85]

So sad!......leaves behind a wife & 4 kids.

Certainly puts things back into perspective in respect to what we sometimes get wound up about on BF.

To all his family & close friends who are no doubt in deep mourning.......feel proud to have been associated with a man who was obviously a well-respected, giving, loving, passionate soul!

R.I.P Lidge.....to the Roo Skies Above!

 

[wally funk]

i'm not sure if i ever crossed paths with him on here, but the outpouring of grief and sentiments from all clubs' supporters tells me he will certainly be missed.

 

[Beloved]

It's crazy, a death really gets you thinking about yourself and what you could lose one day... It's pretty sad, really.

Spot on Eddie!......a real check on life and what is important and what is not.

I should have added that anyone who hasn't and wants to should add their sentiments to the Roos board thread as they are being printed off and given to Lidge's wife.

Never venture onto other team boards but have done so this time
I can imagine that losing a mod would leave a void for us all. So ODN, Bee, MSR and HBF take note. You are diamonds in the rough guys. Keep on keeping on!
