Jings, what can you say? From my own experience, any death is a tragedy, but that of a young athlete, as he was, is an absolute catastrophe. Let's not even think of looking at it from a football perspective. More important is the fact that Phil O'Donnell was a husband, and a father of four. That's what is most terrible.
For what it's worth, I think there will have been very few football fans in Scotland who gave a damn about their team's result last night, having instead been reminded just how utterly pointless the game is in reality. And I hope that, on Wednesday, there will be opportunities for "a minute's applause" so we can at least pay tribute in the best way we can to him.
