Absolutely terrible. Did he play senior football?

Just reading some of the comments on social media. It's absolutely terrible and all too common. A fit young fella with a so much to look forward to in life.

God help that family and his friends.

Very sad news. Football is irrelevant when you hear things like that. Condolences to the whole Moneyglass community where no doubt he will be a huge miss on and off the field.

Yes you hit the nail on the head there.
You think Football is life and death, especially with some of the chat on here!!

The topic around Moneyglass on Saturday evening/Sunday afternoon was whether smileys red card was deserved or not.
And then......

I suppose the thing to be made aware is now, amongst all us men, is to talk. Talk more, ask your friend how you're keeping.
Whether its in the middle of a session, 6 pints in, or driving along in the car and the craic is good. Ask the question. Cause no one knows.

Yes, 99.9% of the time you're going get the standard answer - yes all good.

But maybe one time, someone will open up lives will saved.

Excellent post Big G.

Sincere condolences from all at Casements, I believe a lot of our senior panel were at the very sad wakehouse earlier.

All well said but sometimes one tragedy in the extreme forgets to consider another.

Wee Jacks passing was and is mourned quite rightly by a multitude, but please give a thought to another young lad from Creggan who decided to leave this world far too soon, immersed in despair and loneliness.

Rest in Peace Joe Pat, back with his mum and dad.

Absolutely tragic for all involved this week and a sad cloud over the Toome & Duneane parish.

Puts in all into perspective.

Look after yourself and your mates. I know I've found alot of comfort in the depression thread on this board.

Points a Good Score

A very tough week in Moneyglass with more difficult days to follow.

I've been lucky to know Jack McCoy since he was a very young lad, an absolute giant of a man in a wee body. Bravery, skill and endeavour where his best characteristics on the pitch, but off it is where he really excelled, a quick wit and sharp personality, a friend to old and young alike with the ability to interact and converse with both just the same.

Nothing was ever a problem to Jack, we're light in numbers today Jack can you play corner back, no problem, man marking job today Jack, no problem.

An IFC semi final against St Paul's a few years ago epitomised him most, in a game St Paul's looked like winning all the way through Jack never gave up, he contributed scores, blocks and tackles all night, covering 19kms over the 80 minutes a phenomenal effort.

We'll all miss him terribly both on and off the pitch.

There's no problem in this world that can't be solved, speak out and seek help don't suffer in silence like our dear friend.

Gutting to read, RIP Jack.
