Don't think I spoke with him much, but it always hits hard when it's someone so young. I hope his family and friends can begin to heal soon, even though they must be in bits right now at the massive shock.

RIP.

What the strawberry float!

That is a massive shock. One of the oldest members hark from the Gamesradar days.

He's one of the nice blokes I've met on the forum.

Just saw myself on Fb. Never got the chance to actually meet the fella, always was a good bloke who contributed a lot to Poopgang back in the day. RIP mate :(

I remember him, don't think I had any interactions with him though. 30 is no age, RIP.

I think I remember this but I cannot actually recall who that was.

That's horrendous. RIP - used to talk to him on MSN messenger (that dates me and this place...) and in those Poopgang group chats but hadn't for a few years now. No age at all, that.

Just awful to hear. I know people come and go from the forum but you just assume they're getting on with their lives yet forever known on our GR history.

And 30 too? Bah, dread to think about.

All the best to his family and friends

Man it's a different time for us all but those group chats back in the day sincerely kept me sane back when I was 18 unemployed and a Billy no mates.

Different topic for a different time, but I still have the MSN conversation histories of a few of those in my laptop somewhere.

RIP Scotty.

Oh ffs. I met him for a drink in Paisley once. Lovely guy.

He had deactivated his Facebook account a while back so I'd not really heard from him for ages. Gutted.

Yeah. He had a seizure in the bath and kicked the hot tap. strawberry floated his leg up real bad. Was obviously in shock since he called me to ask if he should call in sick for work. Flesh dripping off his leg. Brutal. Made a good recovery from it apparently.

He still had the wound, but was up and about, the time I met him. July 2013, that was. Can't believe it was nearly five years ago, tbh.

He got a job at Partick Thistle and was enjoying that, but I think they made cutbacks.

He was a good guy. I'm really upset.

Ah, yes Bunni. I remember this quite vividly now.

He was epileptic then? Very sad,

Thanks Bunni. I remember him describing his very slow recovery on here. This is really very moving. Wonder how is family is coping? Must be truly awful for them. Hope they are getting some help.
