Diogo Jota

[Bluemike]

Tragic news, sadly died in a car accident along with his Brother, RIP young man

[shabba]

really sad news, must be so hard for all the players too - coming back to pre season and having this happen.

[hallamblue]

Poor man only got married 2 weeks ago two... I think there are 2-3 children now without a dad..
RIP Diogo , take far too young.

[Charnwood]

Devastating news, absolutely heartbreaking to learn of this this morning. One of my favourite players with so much to live for. RIP Diogo.

[marko69]

Almost unbelievable news. So so tragic. Taken away far too young from his wife & children. And the game has lost a genuine talent.
RIP Diogo, you will be missed by millions.

[EveryoneKnowsaDave]

A lovely man, spent a lot of time with sick kids at the Alder Hey hospital. RIP.

[ITFC2024]

It really is a shame. He had a bright future, and his wife and family must be devastated. I’ve heard that lamborghini’s have the propensity to catch on fire.

RIP: Diogo and Andre.

What most people are overlooking because he was driving and speeding he is responsible for the death of his brother and if Jota had survived he would be charged with causing death by dangerous driving..

[Bluemike]

Be that as it may there is still an innocent family ripped apart and overcome with untold grief that they will never really recover from. Yes the speeding thing is wrong but how many people do that every day with no consequences? Millions. All in all it's a tragic story.

Believe me - keeping an Italian supercar to the speed limit when doing an overtaking manouvre is nigh-on impossible

[marko69]

While that may be very true, Bent….. no one will ever know the circumstances in that car. Andre may have said, “put the foot down, bro, get past this person in front…..”
So, to assume Diogo killed his brother is a tad off really.
Like i said, yep maybe…… but no one will ever know.

Maybe Lambo could start installing black-boxes.

Maneuver

LFC are going to retire his number jersey in tribute to the player. #20 shall never be used again there. Not only that, the club is prepared to fund his kids education but the latter hasn't been confirmed. Don't like the team involved but those actions right there, you got to provide certain amount of plaudits or recognition.

Tragic loss of life that could have been prevented. Speeding was involved, there was a blow-out but don't know how far above a limit the vehicle was actually traveling at time of incident. Some roads on Iberia are notorious if not handled with the right care and attention and if there's a tire defect as here, going beyond legal limit etc then combined, a disaster can't be far behind. Real pity to all involved but one last time a situation that could just have easily been avoided.

[The Odious Mr Rossi]

in the UK, the correct spelling is manoeuvre. That's King's English.

This differs from the American English spelling of maneuver.

It should be appreciated that the clue is in the name - English.
The American version came about because rather than go to the bother of inventing their own language, Americans pinched ours and bastardised it because they couldn't understand how to spell many of the words it contained.

Oh, and it's not tire, it's tyre

[marko69]

The Diogo Jota thread should definitely NOT be the thread that brings the biggest laugh out loud of the day because so many people STILL can’t really believe that he’s gone…….. Still upsetting…..

…… But an American correcting English??

Saint? Come on. Stop that sh*t!

Trying now to not start another debate about what’s classified as a supercar?

It was Lamborghini- but a Urus which is the large SUV, it’s fast but it’s still all wheel drive and probably well over 2 ton in weight, not like the more difficult to drive Italian super cars of old.

Whichever way you look at it, it's got 490Kw power and does 0-62 in 3.3 seconds, so it's definitely in supercar category.
Lambos run notoriously hot too, which is why they catch fire so easily.

[shabba]

It’s an Audi q8 in a dress though. So it’s not really a lambo in the traditional sense Rossi.
