Our captain Phil O'Donnell collapsed during the game.
Just back from the match and I've heard the terrible news that he's died in hospital.

RIP Phil O'Donnell.

RIP

Not that I am interested in conspiracy theories, but don't you guys find it strange that so many pro players died on the pitch this year? :shock:

RIP Phil O'Donnell, thoughts go out to his family.

Apparently he was being subbed, had he complained of chest pains?

Not according to our manager - I think it was just a coincidence, though his nephew David Clarkson was subbed later on as he was too shocked to continue playing.
