Chimera Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I just read on the BBC that the top ref for the WC shot himself in the head right after the tournemant... what do you all think? Why did he do it? source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5168890.stm It doesn't say he was a ref, it says he was a top official...He was the head of the World Cup office in Berlin.

Gowcra Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I know that, it justs seems a bit extreme eh. all for a game of footie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourjays Veteran Posted July 11, 2006 Veteran Share Posted July 11, 2006 Might not even be related to the football. Wouldn't surprise me if it was though. People seem to have a tough time remembering it is just a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qdave Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 he wasnt a referee..he was World Cup coordinator. I wonder why did he do it..prolly because france lost :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZRecovery Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 He probably made a deal with someone or some people and lost. So to him the only way out of it was to take his own life. /EZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougeh Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 This is the second failed suicide attempted in football in recent weeks. Almost as bad as England's penalty strike rate! Seriously though, pretty random... I wonder what the two suicide notes said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted July 11, 2006 Veteran Share Posted July 11, 2006 yeah it may have some unrelated issue in his life...damn you could even go as far to say as how do you know its suicide...did anyone see him shoot himself? im not expressing doubts im just saying we only have part of the story...dont jump to conclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Damn, what a message to send to our already messed up kids "when the going gets tough, just blow your brains out" ******. Complete and utter ******. I have no respect for this fella. I know that, it justs seems a bit extreme eh. all for a game of footie. Dont be so quick to judge Gowcra. It might have been completely unrelated to football, and how do you know he even has kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayrider Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The guy most probably had money on a game, or he was ****ed that Italy won. One of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.nudd Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Dont be so quick to judge Gowcra. It might have been completely unrelated to football, and how do you know he even has kids? His point wasn't about whether or not the official had kids. He was talking about kids in our society today. He doesn't want to encourage the kids today to just 'give up' when the going gets rough.

L3thal Veteran Posted July 11, 2006 Veteran Share Posted July 11, 2006 How about we stop making these nonsensical remarks about him betting on a game and losing or about him depressed <insert team here> lost. This guy is fighting for his life and everyone is here cracking jokes. Sure, this is a discussion forum, but have some respect for the human being he is. I am sure we will be enlightened of why he did it, assuming he survives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted July 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted July 12, 2006 there's too much coincidence though, if it was just hours after it ended. my guess is that he either had money on it, or was involved in some type of scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
