AGM_72 3,604 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Dreadful news. Scary stuff considering his age as well. I have this perception that it seems to be more common in sport now - but I could be completely wrong. All Serie A games, including the Milan derby tonight, have been postponed.

dummiesoot 15,990 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 That's tragic, too young. On another note anyone think the tims will get next week cancelled because of this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakes Pal 5,568 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Very sad news, horrendous for Astori and his family, also a terrible thing for Fiorientina to have to deal with. Like us, they have not had their troubles to seek for the past few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvern 11,329 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Sad news about Astori, too fucking young to die at that age. I am thinking about the way I have pissed many years away when someone born in the 80's has died but there are many more over the world as well. Touch of class by the Italians cancelling all games, will cause a backlog but fuck it some things transcend a football match. Dummie, hope your FIL gets better mate and wish you all the best, know how hard it is for a partner when their other half is worried out of their wits and you have to deal with the fallout.

It's a scary thought but it does seem like the only reasonable explanation unless it's just a sad coincidence that all of these players have had underlying health issues that have never been picked up on.

Somebody on FF posted figures of 96 deaths like this since 2000. Had figures of 49 for 111 years prior to that. Dont know where the figures came from but you consistently hear of players dropping dead for no apparent reason these days. Makes you wonder when they are monitored by sports scientists. Doesnt seem to be so prevelant in other sports like cycling , rugby, athletics or is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
