Drunk and disorderly. 14,321 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Very sad news that his days are so badly numbered. Some of our old players are at his side. His mates. Fellow Rangers icons. Says a lot about Fernando that so many players, supporters and of course his family love him so much. Very brave man.

There's that petition thing you can do as well. It's something like if it gets 100,000 signatures it will be considered for debate in parliament. 10,000 and the government will respond. Obviously nobody gives a fuck about it being debated in parliament, but if it puts some pressure on it could be worthwhile. https://petition.parliament.uk/ CoopsLaud 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tannerall 25,935 Posted January 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2019 "The Hospice feels like home." What a magnificent and magnanimous tribute from Fernando to the staff who work there and to the hospice. I did voluntary work over a period of ten years at a local hospice and know exactly what he means. He's in the best of hands. And with that goes all our heartfelt good wishes. Good on you Mr Ricksen, your achievement now in keeping yourself moving forward and positive against this greatest challenge equals, adds to and surpasses all that you achieved at our great club.

stevieblueblood 159 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 That was so heart breaking to read that. I'm absolutely delighted to see that he is receiving the best care over here and made to feel comfortable for the rest of his life here. I feel horrible writing that there but in all honestly we all knew that he was never going to make a full recovery with this horrible disease and he has surpassed expectations regarding how much time he has left. I sincerely hope that Fernando's wife can get her passport issue resolved as soon as possible so he can get to see his Wife and daughter again and be that rock that they are for him and give him that extra strength to carry on. Fuck I think I'm going on a bit noo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
