They posted the news of retiring Diogo’s No.20 shirt at 20:20. :heart:

Prefer to think of it as his forever than it being retired.

Can’t imagine anyone choosing to be the next to have worn it anyway.

“We can’t live as much as we want, and we will die even if we don’t want to.”

"Why should I be out of your thoughts and mind, just because I’m out of your sight? I’m not far away, I’m on the other side, just around the corner.

Calm down, everything is fine."

I genuinely dont know where they get the strength, I’d be a fucking mess, incapable of anything…God bless them.

Another mural under way

Heartbreaking. Can’t Imagine the kids asking their mom about the dad - when she already is heartbroken. Tragic.

I think it’s too much to expect the players to play this weekend…I understand they want to do it for Jota…but they must still in shock…and Robbo doesnt look very well either…

For me when out there on a footy pitch with your mates, you forget the world … until someone scores.

Football is what brought them, us and Jota together and is the best place to remember and celebrate his life, even though it was too short.

Everyone reacts differently to tragedy, and there will be a number of them who will want to get on with doing their job. It’s just a friendly against Preston and I’m sure if any of the players doesn’t feel up to it, the club won’t force them to play.

I just feel for them so much…team talks, team coffee meetings, will never be the same to them.

Speaking from experience, it will NEVER be the same, but you must move forward.

Been nearly 17 years since I lost my first wife, the one I looked forward to growing old with. My daughters were (just) 9 and 12 at the time. Felt as though I was a big bowl of Jello for the first 6 months, but I knew I had two girls to raise.

I’ve been remarried to another sweet soul for 13 years now, but not a day goes by that I don’t think of my late wife, and sometimes lie awake at night thinking what our life would be like had tragedy not struck.

Both my daughters are wonderful successful young women, and I am plenty happy in my life, but I still wonder…

For some it can actually be cathartic to do exactly that. Play. Often times with grief, it’s the not being able to do anything about it that’s the worst feeling. So, inactivity can make you feel worse.
