Unreal, tragic. Guy was a rock for that team both on and off the pitch, 36, cant get my head around that one.

[J-C]

Forget rivalries, 36 is far too young to pass, very good player too, so sad. RIP.

Especially when you think he would be fit. Shocking news to be honest.

[LancashireHibby]

Such a tragedy at that age. RIP

[EskbankHibby]

36. FFS.

Can’t believe that, absolutely horrible, what a horriblea disease.

***** day but nowhere near that scale, FFS, genuinely stunned

[Hakim Sar]

I was gonna post something about the result today on another thread but this horrid news puts everything in perspective. Ever so sad for the young man.

[The Harp Awakes]

RIP. Horrible disease. Some things are much bigger than football.

[B.H.F.C]

Horrific news. Horrible disease.

[erin go bragh]

Horrible disease and the sooner they get a cure the better . Rip .

[Scottie]

Shocking news about the big man. Strolled through games with ease. Was a classy player. Puts todays performance into perspective. RIP Marius.

[HH81]

Horrible disease and the sooner they get a cure the better . Rip .

Just searched what it was. Agree it is an awful illness and a fair few sportsman seem to develop it.

Rob Borrow going through it at the moment and his decline is heart breaking.

[southern hibby]

RIP.

Far too young. Condolences to your family.

[heidtheba]

Apparently a new dad, or a dad to a new baby. Shocking. I'd have originally thought that today's loss was shocking, it wasn't, it was just a loss of a game of football.
Losing a husband/father/son etc at the age of 36 when he should have been able to rest back after years of top flight fitness training puts a lot in perspective.
As many have said, an easy man to dislike in the heat of a football match, but that was because he was a good player.
This sort of stuff haunts me really. As Ayrton Senna once said, "I've still got time."
We never really know if we do do we?
Thoughts to his family and friends.

[CMurdoch]

Terrible news. What happened?

I read he died from MND.
It really is a most cruel and hellish disease.
I wish they could find some kind of breakthrough in it's treatment.

The pain and inevitable loss of this young man puts today's result into stark perspective.
Some of the over emotive comments on the match thread are embarrassing.

[TheHarpy76]

36 years old ffs. 7 years younger than me.

I bumped into him in Milnes a few years back. An absolute gent who gave and took the banter.

RIP Marius

[James Stephen]

36 years old is tragic, sad to hear that.

[davy67 +]

Sad news . Tragic for someone so young, really puts things into perspective. MND sucks

[son of haggart]

Thanks to you all for setting aside the football rivalry and showing respect

He was a great guy, with a great fun attitude to the game. So sad for him and his family

[Sylar]

Clearly the news article I read about his passing jumped the gun in declaring the cause of death!

Regardless, 36 is no age no matter the cause. Horrible news and a total ******* of a disease.

[EI255]

[CathroMustStay]

RIP Marius.

[I'm Spartacus]

36 is a huge gulp moment when you hear news like that, ****** football, ****** any rivalry, we're all on this earth as one.

RIP :(

[Jonnyboy]

RIP Marius. A horrible disease and a tragic death

[The 90+2]

Worst thing to contemplate and so sorry for his family.

Knowing a couple of former hearts players he was meant to be brand new and a great boy who went against Romanov and his ****.

RIP Zaliukas. Same age as me. Utterly tragic.

[JJP]

What a horrible illness. Such sad news. Condolences to his friends and family.

[HendoDelivered]

Rest in peace marius

At the end of the day, there's more important things than football.
