Just collapsed apparently. There must have been an underlining cause at such a young age for this to happen which I hope they can get to the bottom of. Absolutely tragic.

[greengnome]

Very very sad news to hear.
Just a wee laddie playing the game he loves, and his life tragically cut short.
My heart goes out to his parents, and family, my sincere condolences to you all.

May the wee fella Rest in Peace.. So sad!

[trev the hat]

Very sad to hear this, condolences to family & friends.

[Thecat23]

From what's been said he just collapsed with heart failure. Like another said may well have been underlying illness.

Still maintain all schools should give kids a screening to pick up on anything like that. But that's another matter.

[hfc rd]

Absolutely devastating to hear this. My little brother knew who the lad was. R.I.P young man and my condolences go out to his family.

[bebop64]

Awful news RIP

[Sylar]

Far too many young athletes having their lives cut short by underlying cardio disease (usually cardiomyopathy?).

Absolutely horrible news to read - his poor family, friends, teammates and anyone who was at the game.

[hibee_girl]

Such awful news.

RIP Jamie

[Lucius Apuleius]

RIP Jamie.

[SmashinGlass]

RIP. It's a tragedy that a promising life has been cut short. I concur with the poster suggesting scans for children, although that's a discussion for a different day.

[Stax]

Absolutely horrendous. My thoughts are with the young lads family.

Statement from Tynecastle FC:

Jamie Skinner
22/Dec/2013


A tragic event happened at Saughton Astro on Sunday 22nd December 2013, a young boy playing for the Under 14s, Jamie Skinner, playing the game he loved, lost his life on the pitch.
In an innocuous event during the game Jamie collapsed and despite the valiant attempts of everyone at the game, and the ambulance service, attempts to revive him were sadly in vain.
Although Jamie was new to our Tynecastle family, he had up until recently been playing for Hearts, he was a prospect that un-doubtly would have had a bright future in the game. No words can fully express our grief and dismay at seeing this happen, we can only pass on all our thoughts and prayers to friends and family and hope they will get some strength from the out pouring of love and support from everyone.
Everyone at Tynecastle is in total shock at what has happened, and we are sure the youth football community will join with us in also thinking of all the players, coaches and supporters at the game who witnessed this sad event, and the club also thanks everyone who tried to assist.

As a mark of respect all Tynecastle teams will hold a minutes silence before their next game.

[nonshinyfinish]

Truly saddened by this news when I came home from work tonight. My thoughts are with the family.

Still feeling shocked and extremely sad at this news. My lads play for Tynie at same age but different squad. I know a number of the parents and kids who were there.
For all the parents who's kids play football we all see how much they love playing and for one lad not to return home after going out to play is horrific. I think many if us realise it could have happened to any one of us.
Thoughts and sympathy with the poor kid, his family, friends and all who were present.

Tragic news. RIP Jamie
