You all have more words than me right now and it's been a pleasure to read how highly he was respected on here. God knows every single time he took a crap he was was on this forum, glad to know this was time well spent. Although maybe I should post this infuriating behaviour on another thread That brutal honesty was just how we rolled tbf. We are lost without him. First of all it goes without saying that I am genuinely sorry for you and your family's devastating loss. But also, I love that you are posting from his username. That's brilliant and instead of how we divvy up house and assets in the event of either of us passing, I'll now be making this the sole condition of my partner should I leave this planet before her!

gkneil Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Don’t know how but I’ve only just seen this. Awful news. As has been said across the pages of messages and condolences, he was a great presence on the Forum. A thread of forum members coming together with messages of goodwill, coupled with numerous donations to a charity to help other families is a fantastic legacy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 That's awful, and a total shocker. Don't know about anyone else, but I tend to assume that everyone on here is doing fine unless they say something, so that's a horrible surprise. Very tempting to start thanking people for being here, like a massive dewy-eyed sook. Glad you're doing alright, Welshbairn. I don't remember madwullie being a p***k to anyone on here, which is a fairly impressive feat, and probably one of the nicest things you could say about a stranger on a football forum. Best wishes to his family and everyone who knew him IRL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Can't believe I hadn't noticed this until now. So sorry to hear this. Had played madwullie a couple of times at chess. From my little interaction, he seemed like a really great guy. Utterly devastating for his young family too. You are in my thoughts. I have donated to the just giving page. Let's keep it going! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 My final post in this thread is just to say thank you to so many of you for being so very generous. Unless any more donations come in, the final total comes in at a few pence shy of £4,200. That is a phenomenal amount and will help lots of other young people who have life-threatening illnesses. A significant proportion of that total comes from you guys yet to the best of my knowledge, none of you ever met him. It is the mark of both madwullie and you guys that you can achieve something like this. His funeral was last week and it was and continues to be a difficult time, especially for his wife and kids. But both she and I are touched and more than a little humbled by all your kind messages and donations. Thank you. Richie x 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jimi Shandrix Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 Really sad news. Far too young. My sincere condolences to his friends and family. I myself beat cancer 4 years ago but after going for an MRI yesterday on what I thought was a fucked disc at Ninewells it would appear my spine is fucking riddled with it. Outlook not great for me and I am scared as f**k but ready to fight. Hope to be spouting my shite on here again soon. Adios until then and remember to tell your nearest and dearest that you love them. 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adios until then and remember to tell your nearest and dearest that you love them. My radio silence didn't last long. That's awful news Jimi. But it's good that the experts are now onto the case. I went to the Scottish Cup final with madwullie about 4 years ago when he was only given 6 months to live. yet through new breakthroughs in immunotherapy and a desire to see his kids grow up, he continued to have a pretty much normal life for years, even after his terminal diagnosis. I hope things improve mate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Best wishes, mate. Hoping for a good outcome for you.Sorry to hear that. Best of luck in fighting it. I'm sure plenty on here will be willing to help any time you want to chat. Someone on this thread mooted the idea of a private thread for cancer sufferers to advise and support each other- don't know how possible that is or if there's even an appetite for it if people don't want to be too open about medical issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
