Thank christ for that.

No sympathy, she was a stain of a human being.

Have a feeling things might get very very ugly on the twittersphere today.

RIP

Jesus. Bit far.

Deserves nothing less. Shouldn't have to gloss over the fact that she was horrible part of the sports journalism industry just because she's dead.

Hated the crap out of her but cant say im happy to see anyone die

If the world was going to be rid of her why oh why did it have to be cancer?.

Fuck cancer.

Yup. Definitely won't rejoice in her death. Hated how she talked about football (and the NRL to be honest) but she was still a human, with a family and friends and so it's sad like every death is.

Yep, cancer is the worst and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, in saying that she was a cancer on our game. Condolences to her family in this tragic time.

Ice cream and jelly lads

Sunrise sunset. 

Had to happen at the start of the a league. 

RIP.

The active ends will be fun to watch this weekend.

Wouldn't be surprized if we hear "ding dong the witch is dead"

Hope not. It won't go down well with the general public or even a lot of families who support football. They would make us public enemy #1 if we rejoiced in the death of a female cancer sufferer with a family, regardless of how much she has opposed football.

And of course by fun I mean interesting

Pass the parcel. 

The active ends don't exist for the families. Sorry to say. 

Thought you were joking. RIP I guess?

Show some class guys, now not the time, and many things always left best unsaid.

Sorry I'll wait the mandatory week

remember when steve irwin kicked it? fucking all of 7 minutes that lasted

What an ironic bit of timing, that she passed on the morning the A-League season starts.

Fully respect the grief her family and friends are enduring, but I wasn't a fan of her work.

That will not be missed.

This. Distasteful to say the least. Be the bigger, better (wo)man.

Wow...

I guess she really had nothing to lose with her articles.

Yeah poor taste chants this weekend will just solidfy what she said all along.

-PB

She had no regard to publish, against privacy laws, the 198 names.

Get that she is human and people close to her are grieving, but professionally, screw her.

Let the Terrace lads have some fun.

I assume there'll be something in the terraces this weekend (especially from the RBB one would imagine) but it'll blow over quickly and be forgotten within the week.

Agree with Paulbagz.

The entire Australian media industry will go in to bat for her over any chants celebrating the death of one of their own.
