Diogo Jota on 22:20 - Jul 3 by KeithHaynes | They can be appalling off the main routes. Some investigations into the tartan formulas have been raised. But overall for such a huge country with only around 44M or so people, driving is generally an uninterrupted pleasure. |
My mate whose was a current advanced rider instructor went out to Spain with a couple of other riders with their wife's in tow got hit at a roundabout not 100% sure what happened but from what I remember him telling was that a driver left the junction and heading the wrong way at the roundabout and hit him, him and his wife were okish, but it took ages to get his bike back, he give up riding about a year later, he lost his eldest in a bike accident [long story] must be about 10/12 yrs ago, I was surprised that he continued to ride after that. |  |

Why anyone with life experience would ride a bike is beyond me, dangerous things and why anyone with life experience would allow any child to ride a bike is also beyond me (I know when they are 18 plus they can do their own thing but they need to be discouraged). I seen a bloke on a video killed doing over 100 mph when a car pulled out from a junction, the car either did not see him or did not realise the speed he was doing, if I remember the family wanted the car driver done and the video to be shown to raise awareness of bikes, absolutely cheek the bike should not have been going over 100 mph. I don't see that many bikes around but even so there was a bloke killed on a bike down the road from me, don't know what happened dangerous things, I remember an old maths teacher saying if it was up to him he would have all motor bikes and dogs driven into the sea or words to that effect. |  |

Diogo Jota on 18:27 - Jul 3 by onehunglow | Because being told at the door that your loved one/s won't be coming home shocks like nothing imaginable Why that comment |
Do you honestly think everyone on here don't know that having to tell someone a loved one has died is a dreadful thing to have to do, so again why the last sentence, to bring up a look at what i used to do everyone comment on a thread such as this does not seem right. [Post edited 4 Jul 18:57]

Who has allowed a child to ride a bike? you anti bikers get my goat not all riders are irresponsible, I certainly wasn't and the only time that I rode at those speeds were on a track and never on a public road, I got T boned by a driver pulling out of a shop carpark cause the dozy t..t didn't look, my speed was probably less than 20mph on impact. So don't kid yourself that it's always the biker cause you'd be totally wrong, a fellow advanced rider who was instructing a trainee on the day, was killed by a landrover coming down a lane in Bridgend and who just came out onto the main road. |  |

You have highlighted my point, its not just bad bikers, it's bad drivers also and you have less chance on a bike. |  |

Why would anyone ride a horse ? Why let children near the sea when they haven't been taught to swim Why run ,as exercise, in heat ? Why go skiing down a mountainside Who go scuba diving in quarries Why even get so drink that you end up not knowing where you are or what you did The things people do are full of risk |  |

Diogo Jota on 09:47 - Jul 5 with 954 views | trampie | I hope people (including Liverpool the club but i dont expect that to be the case) are not going to make a thing of the money because money should not really be a factor in this tragedy, Jota should have been extremely wealthy, millionaire big time wealthy. His family would have death in service, perhaps a club has to pay up the contract in certain circumstances, there might well be insurance that the club/Premier league (insist) have in place. |  |

You said Liverpool will pay up the remaining 2 years of his contract then there was a reply saying classy, I would expect every top club to do that, I don't think it's an exceptional gesture its what I would expect. Trying not to be cynical there might things in his contract that might mean a payout anyway and I've read about a death in service thing for footballers in the past. |  |

That might be the case, but when I seen the story this morning, I thought, oh come on, it's what every top club would be expected to do, plus who knows they might be contractually obliged to make certain payments anyway. |  |

You could have said well done for looking after his family but you had to be pedantic and question their actions. You are the same as resloven, an attention seeker. |  | |  |

It shouldn't be a story, particularly on the day of the funeral, it should be a private matter between the club and the family, but somebody on here decided to bring it up, having been brought up it needed saying most top clubs would have done that, it should not be a story.
