Donegal-lad Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hi guys Been a bit of talk between few irish fans into arranging something in memory of Nathan for the game in Dublin. We thinking of getting a flag or something made up in his memory and getting both sets of fans to sign it if they wish and then could present it to his family in his memory Just checking to see if yous have anything planned yourselves for the game as could work together if yous did. We have someone willing to make us the flag at cost price if we go with this idea *also I'm aware members of Nathan's family will be making the trip over with a branch of the tartan army Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washboarder Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Donegal lad great gesture , was wondering , at the Aviva just before games fai usually have the big screen with names and pictures of persons within the sport who have passed away since your last game, don't know if it would be fitting for the fai to show nathans photo at this time . of course subject to his familys approval again a great gesture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel1875 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Nice touch, sure if you set up a crowd funding/just giving site a few folk on here would be more than happy stick a few quid towards the flag.

ScottyAlba Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Belting Idea. Well done. As above, should set up a funding site I'm sure more than enough people would contribute. Then maybe take it to the YBIG meet up on the Friday for people to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Artois 1366 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 What can the manager and team do to assist with the profile of this venture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donegal-lad Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Hi guys mentioned it over on the Facebook page but sone might not have seen it. The lad we get to make the flags accepts payment by PayPal so for convenience sake when we get things arranged will use it for anyone looking to donate. Had suggested that any surplus money be split and donated to the sunshine appeal/another tartan army charity and a charity of the irish fans choice Have contacted the fai to ask if there is a minute silence/applause being organised for this game as well as been informed about another young lad who sadly passed away recently while planning his trip to Dublin Edited May 15, 2015 by Donegal-lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyAlba Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 What can the manager and team do to assist with the profile of this venture? I'm not sure what the SFA stance would be, but I know that Ikechi Anya does alot for charity and is a nice bloke maybe if someone got in touch via Twitter he might be willing to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washboarder Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 great work Donegal lad and your lads, I am sure both Nathan and Connor's families would be proud and grateful if this can be organised . well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donegal-lad Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 great work Donegal lad and your lads, I am sure both Nathan and Connor's families would be proud and grateful if this can be organised . well done We 100% will get something sorted for this game! a few lads who are part of our page on Facebook were in same area as Nathan in Glasgow and are determined to get something organised in his memory for this game. The idea we have ATM is of the irish and Scottish flags with hands meeting in the middle with a picture of Nathan and a message written on the flag (like gone but not forgotten etc) I only heard about connor tonight and have mentioned him to the fai when asked about minute silence etc. It's terrible to hear the young lad was planning his trip to Dublin only to pass away before it. Things like that really puts life I to perspective and shows us how lucky we are to get to enjoy matches like this and shouldn't take them for granted like we do at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee- Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well appreciated Donegal Lad. I was talking to Nathans Aunt recently and it brought home to me the shock of receiving such horrific news. You are a good guy. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 good work donegal lad and the tartan army will back anything that is organised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donegal-lad Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm just waiting to hear back from mark who makes the flags for us hopefully will hear back from him soon. I've also contacted the fai to ask if a minute silence would be taking place before this game to see if both names could be included in this. Once I hear anything from either I will post it up here and on the Facebook page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
