Horrific story and puts it all into perspective, especially regarding the utter lunacy we've seen since saturday over a player getting injured.

RIP Simon, the cowards who assaulted him should be utterly ashamed, no place in society for this, especially not when it's the fallout over a game.
Leave your comments for Simon in here please Blues, thoughts with his wife Nicole and the rest of Simon's family.

the sentences are absolutely disgusting as well.

Truly tragic, and disgustingly lenient sentences for the rats who did this.

Says it all that 12 were jailed for the attack, how many does it take to kill someone? 12 sh#thouse cowards , RIP Simon.

Tragic, this is what the media should be getting wound up about, a bit of perspective after this weekends hysteria

There are no words for something like this and personally think it’s horrifying to know that 2 years after Simon’s death, the last of the 12 people responsible will be out of jail. Can‘t even imagine what his family are going through right now.
