Very good @Rocko. Thanks.

Spelling his name wrong is a nice touch, he’d like that :slightly_smiling_face:

Strange feeling to what I can only describe as mourning a total stranger in life but seeing that picture on logging on here gave me a tremble in the lip but then again on here David/Joe Player was simply a neighbour to us all, it’s surreal.

Hit me like a ton of bricks seeing that. A nice gesture all the same @Rocko.

Whoever suggested getting the airplane banner to fly over thenest Limerick v Clare match, I thought that was a cool idea.

There’s an Irish company that does it, but I can’t apply for a quote because that would involve doxing myself. If it’s less than €2k and everyone gave €20 it could be done. Maybe I’m being wildly over-ambitious here.

You’d need family approval for that kind of thing. If we could raise as much as we can anyway and give it to a charity or cause of his family’s wishes, I think that would be a better idea

Good call @Rocko. Dignified and appropriate.

That might be a bit raw for family members and friends at the game unless the message was very subtle and only clear to members here

RIP Joe - he’ll always be Joe to me. Nice gesture Rocko.

The smile on his face in that photo is how I’ll imagine he looked just after winding up half the Limerick crew and getting them hopping

That smile was nearly a permanent fixture on his face back when I knew him, it’s exactly how I always picture him when I’m reading his stuff here.

That’s how everyone knew him. For a lad that had such a tough life he was always laughing… makes the sudden turn all the more hard to grasp. Just shows how it can happy to anyone.
