Terrible news about James. My heart goes out to his family, friends and the people of Crossmaglen.

BCB1, I pray you all get the strength to deal with the difficult days that lay ahead for you all.

Shocking news this. Condolences to the family and club memebrs.

Times like these show how cruel life can be. May he rest in peace. My prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP

RIP James, hard to believe what has happened. I knew him fairly well and he lay in my house in Dublin a few nights. An awful senseless tragedy.

Horrible news and totally senseless. Our sympathy to the family and Cross club.

Gardai seem to be treating the perpetrator as some kind of victim. Very strange.

Any of us here old enough to remember the 1975 classic "Blanket On The Ground" will mourn the passing of Billie Jo Spears aged 74

I remember it well.
I'm sad to hear of Billy's Jo's death and shocked to learn that she was 74.

Sad to hear that a young lad from Bailieborough, C o cavan died in Oz. Patrick Bird, aged 24, played for the Shamrocks but emigrated to Oz and died in a tragic accident it seems.

RIP.

A very big loss. True statesman and there are very few of those around.
