[HendoDelivered]

That has shocked me to the core, wow. Heartbreaking.

[Aldo]

Holy *****.

This is just mental!

Think he only got married a few days ago!

[marinello59]

That's terribly sad, only 28 and just married.

[04Sauzee]

Just heard , that is incredibly sad news
Only 28.
Lost for words really
RIP

[YehButNoBut]

His brother was also killed when his Lamborghini had a blowout and left the road whilst overtaking another car around half past midnight this morning.

How tragic RIP Diogo.

[norhfc]

Wow this is a real shock to everyone. Such a young guy with a young family. RIP 🙏

[JimBHibees]

Heartbreaking to be honest. Liked him as a player and one of the few players who regularly seemed to play with a smile on his face. RIP

[J-C]

Wow! So tragic and his brother also. RIP.

[flash]

Simply awful. RIP.

[BroxburnHibee]

Heartbreaking news for their whole family especially his new bride

[s.a.m]

Heartbreaking news for their whole family especially his new bride

So it is... It's awful.

[makaveli1875]

Just heard this on the radio . Mental just a young lad . RIP

[lugz]

Tragic news, got shivers reading the news about it. Far too young, thoughts with his new wife and their young family.

[jamie_1875]

So sad for his family. It reminded me of Antonio Reyes death and his car crash from a few years back that had a tyre or steering problem.

[Irish_Steve]

Absolutely heartbreaking - two young men taken in their prime - just utterly devastating for the rest of their family

[BT58]

Just read the headines on my phone, sad, sad news. RIP.

[leith lynx]

Terrible, Terrible tragedy, thoughts with his family. RIP.

[Pretty Boy]

That's awful news. Only got married a couple fo weeks ago as well, 3 kids.

RIP.

[theonlywayisup]

Terrible news! Really saddened by this news. Always gave 100% and played with a smile on his face. Seems such a nice guy too.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Hard to get your head around it.

Football is utterly meaningless in the context of news like this.

That poor family.

[jacomo]

Terrible news.

Footballers and their fast cars... this seems to happen too often.

[Northernhibee]

Utterly hideous news. To go from being on top of the world to what’s happened feels impossible to comprehend.

Can’t imagine what his wife, family, and Liverpool football club are going through.

[Northernhibee]

Terrible news.

Footballers and their fast cars... this seems to happen too often.

The tyre blew when he was overtaking someone. Could happen to anyone.

Completely disrespectful last line.

[The_Exile]

Absolutely horrendous, twenty bloody eight years old, devestating for his young family. RIP Diogo.

[jacomo]

The tyre blew when he was overtaking someone. Could happen to anyone.

Completely disrespectful last line.


Is it really?

[Tambo]

Had a bad feeling when i seen this thread, opened it and shocked with the news for Both involved, far to young to pass away.

[Hibspur]

Terrible news.

Footballers and their fast cars... this seems to happen too often.

Has recklessness been reported as the cause?

Very sad news regardless.

I recall Joe Baker was involved in a car crash with Denis Law when they were playing for Torino. Think it was a pretty flashy sports car which Joe lost control of. It put him in hospital for many weeks I think while Law was relatively unharmed.

[Northernhibee]

No, a tyre blowout.

It absolutely is sad news, nothing takes away from that.

But it's not the 1960s anymore. 'Tyre blow out while over taking' is an exceptionally rare and unlucky thing to happen in a contemporary super car.

[Wilson]

The tyre blew when he was overtaking someone. Could happen to anyone.

Completely disrespectful last line.

My brother had a spring snap and puncture the tyre, that was just in a Ford Mondeo, travelling within the speed limit on the motorway. It certainly does happen.

Folk see the powerful car and assume the worst. We don't really know though.

[He's here!]

Police investigations into fatal road accidents can go on for a while. There will be witnesses to speak to, potential post-mortem/cause of death to be established and whether any criminal offence occurred.

It's grim news.

Happened to my wife in her citreon c4 last year going to dundee, these things happen, very poor comment from you IMO, some things are best not said, anyway dont want to take the thread away from what it should be. Huge loss for his family

[B.H.F.C]

I hate when you see a random thread like this pop up. You almost always know it’s going to be something bad before you click on it. I didn’t expect it to be as bad as this though. Absolutely tragic.

[Since452]

Jeez. Life is so precious and fragile. Sometimes when you see things like this it's a bit of a wake up call. His poor wife and kids.

[Hibernian Verse]

How is saying it's rare and unlucky a poor comment - it's a tragic accident.

[CREESE]

Heartbreaking news. One of my favourite Liverpool players.

[Squealing pig]

Rip that’s heartbreaking news

[Sylar]

Crikey, life really isn't fair sometimes. A young family and newly married. A successful professional athlete (mr reliable in fantasy when he played too!)...very sad news indeed.

[Scouse Hibee]

Absolutely devastating news, such a young man with his whole life ahead of him. Totally gutted and a tear in my eye as I watch and read the tributes on SSN. RIP Diogo and Andre 🥲. YNWA

[NAE NOOKIE]

So tragic any family having this happen, but it always seems magnified when it's a fit young man with the whole world at his feet with the future of him and his family assured through his talent, only to have it all taken away in an instant.

RIP Diogo and Andre and condolences to their family and friends.

[Frogga]

Such a shame :(

As a Dad to kids of a similar age to his I can't imagine how hard it is for his Wife to deal with it while also having 3 kids left without their Daddy.

[Scorrie]

Shocking news. So sad

[erin go bragh]

Horrific news. Rip

[HoboHarry]

That's awful by any metric. So sad for his family, RIP Jota.

[Allant1981]

Suggest you read the posters original comment on how its footballers and their cars

[Hibernian Verse]

Ok, I just saw what you had quoted.

[cabbageandribs1875]

just married and three young kids as well, very sad

his brother also died in the crash

[Baader]

Horrendous news. A very good player. Quite underrated I always thought. Very sad. RIP.

[hibsbollah]

I made the mistake of watching the link to his wedding video which he posted 24 hours ago. Really upsetting to think how these clearly lovely young peoples lives have changed overnight. RIP.

Unbelievable condolences to both their families & friends at this tragic accident. May they both R.I.P. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Bishop Hibee]

Tragic. Great player I was fortunate enough to see in the flesh play for Portugal and Liverpool. RIP 🙏🏻

[erin go bragh]

Terrible news.

Pretty disrespectful comment when you obviously didn't know what had happened.

[Aldo]

Images of the aftermath of crash are starting to appear and they are horrendous.

[CalgaryHibs]

That has shocked me to the core, wow. Heartbreaking.
Totally agree

[CalgaryHibs]

Images of the aftermath of crash are starting to appear and they are horrendous.

Unbelievable photos of the what's left of the Lambo

[Oscar T Grouch]

Images of the aftermath of crash are starting to appear and they are horrendous.

I haven't seen the images but BBC were reporting the vehicle went on fire after the crash which makes it even more horrendous than it already is. I really feel for the whole family, losing two brothers in an accident is horrible. Life is precious and so fragile at times.

[The Harp]

Absolutely tragic news. Life can be so fragile.
So very sad.
RIP Diogo and Andrè.

[hibsbollah]

Pretty disrespectful comment when you obviously didn't know what had happened.

Personally i don’t think thats disrespectful. A Lamroghini is a fast car and Jota is a footballer. Putting the story into a wider context (as someone else did earlier in relation to Joe Bakers crash) isnt disrespectful, especially as there was no blame being apportioned in the post.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Made the mistake of going on to twitter to have a read of some of the tributes. I should have known better.

Aside from the many, many moving comments, there's the usual pond life, usually with a blue tick, making edgy and disrespectful comments just to get interactions and attention. Plus legions of virtue signalling tossers, who probably couldnt care less about this poor family, falling over themselves to get offended by clubs that haven't yet paid tribute, haven't paid it quickly enough, or god forbid might have posted something else about their own clubs today.

An absolute cesspit. Tragedy brings the best and the worst out in people.

Cesspit is the best description. Came off social media a while ago and don’t miss it one bit

[Pretty Boy]

I've not seen it and don't really want to but when I read the family had provided DNA samples to aid identification then it was pretty clear it was going to be horrific.

A friend of my sisters had to do it years ago when her mum was killed in a house fire.

If that’s the case then I suggest you don’t PB.

[overdrive]

Such a tragedy. Shows life is short.

I’ve thought a bit about posting this and will accept any backlash but as sad as it is, is Sky Sports News not going a bit OTT? It’s like watching the actual news when the Queen died. Presenters wearing black, ticker changed to black. Photo (black and white) in the corner at all times. Pretty much talking about nothing else.

[Lancs Harp]

RIP Diogo. "The lad from Portugal"

Truly tragic news, a great player and by all accounts a great fella.

Life is so fragile.

Good description cesspit is right. Better to ignore absolute incredibly there is no attempt to control social media when it causes so much discord.

[Hibiza]

Tragic News , RIP guys and condolences to family and friends.

[Peanut Shaz]

Absolutely heartbreaking news. Thoughts and prayers with their family and friends. Life can be so cruel and fragile.

RIP

[hibee_girl]

Such tragic news.

Andy Robertson has posted a lovely tribute on his Instagram page.

[Jones28]

Wow, really sad.

On holiday at the minute and plenty Liverpool tops around

[JimBHibees]

Such tragic news.

Yep Andy’s comments are simply brilliant and so poignant and emotional

Not on instagram, can you copy the comments over here please?

[Up-the-slope]

Very sad that 3 kids are left without a dad and wife suddenly a single parent and without her partner. (As it would be for any family and nothing to do with fame or being in the public eye)

BBC news reporting he had been advised not to fly as had just had minor surgery and was heading to get a ferry ?

[Donegal Hibby]

I seen this thread earlier today and just had no words on how incredibly tragic and sad this news is .
Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends.

That's a heart breaker. I've lost very close work mates before. His team mates will really be hurting.
