Talk about being an obsessed fan :eek:





(if it's true of course and not some elaborate murder cover up)

An Arsenal fan has hanged himself after his team lost 3-1 to Manchester United in the Champions League Semi Final last night.

English clubs enjoy a passionate following among Kenyan locals

Suleiman Alphonso Omondi, a 29-year-old Kenyan from Nairobi was found dead at his home just hours after his heroes slumped out of the coveted competition.

Police confirmed football-mad Mr Omondi was wearing his Arsenal shirt when he took his own life.

Mr Omondi's friend Calvin Otieno said: "We were watching the match at Bamba 70 pub, and when Arsenal were defeated, Suleiman just walked out in protest and he was crying."

We didn't know he was going to hang himself until this morning when we received the reports and came here to find his body at the balcony.

Calvin Otieno, Friend

Football related tragedies are frequent in Kenya, where English clubs enjoy a passionate following among the locals.

European games, in particular the UEFA Champions League, attract more attention than national and continental fixtures.

For many Arsenal fans, the tie was a chance to salvage a disappointing season.

It has been four years since the Gunners won a domestic or European trophy.

Arsenal's chances of reaching their second European final in four years effectively came to an end after just ten minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo's 11th minute strike meant the Gunners needed to score four goals.

I suppose it seems better than listening to United fans going on about it all day every day for the next couple of weeks.

ManU strike again. I always knew they where evil.

He should have waited another year at least,to see if Arshavin could make a difference in Europe.

I don't like that the media have latched on to the story. It might make other like minded people think that such actions would be 'glorified'.

Curious: what position do you play?



There's no mention of the suicide note; so, there's a chance it may have been a gambling thing or something else... Sensationalist drivel. Who gives a ****, honestly?

Some say he was dying to see the match.

Some days as an Everton fan I wish I had his courage lol

This isnt funny and should be locked.

To be fair, if I was an Arsenal fan I would hang myself too.

Hang loose man, u are taking this all a bit seriously.

Pete P Peterson

I think we should set him as a shining example to other Arsenal fans. I mean, how difficult could it be to get a few more of them to follow this lead?

I must say, I found this comment under the main story funny:

"What a loser not to mention pathetic, i didn't hang myself in 1977 when obi wan kenobi got killed by the almighty sith lord darth vader and i was a massive star wars fan"

staker

the day after!!
jeez he didn't hang around...

Agamemnon

So he took an early bath?

amacachi

Anything to indicate it had anything to do with the result? And if it did had he placed a large bet recently?

SoWatchaWant

Jesus ****ing Christ...

Well, If it weren't over football, it would have been over something else. I suspect he was a loose cannon.

It's Sky News. 'Nuff said.

Whats he doing supporting a foreign team ? Surely he should be supporting a local team and trying to build a national league. Its terrible that Kenyans fly over to England to watch premierleague fixtures week in week out. If the money wasted on these journeys could be redirected into a Kenyan national league then it would be world class.

The whole thing is shocking

Surprised we haven't seen more Liverpool fans killing themselves tbh!

It's Man U fans I'd be worried about.
The ones I know cry if one of the reserve team screws up during practice.

Not beyond the realm of possibility to say he may have placed a heavy gamble on the outcome of the game.

But seriously he could have just asked his brother for a bailout.

Good to see Chelsea being so sporting in defeat.

. They really are a credit to the human race. I hope Ballack, Terry and Drogba don't hang themselves tonight because I'd really miss them.

He reminds me of a sheep. Must be his bottom teeth and his haircut.
