    Irish backpacker bashed in Coogee dies | Gearoid Walsh | Man charged over Irish backpacker?s death

    I 'knew' this guy from another internet forum, we often talked about Celtic and Irish Soccer. It wasnt a Celtic forum but he still used the nickname "Eirebhoy" and was a very passionate Celtic supporter and of Irish Football. That forum wont be the same without him posting.

    Even though I didnt know him personally, was stunned to hear about his death yesterday and stunned again when they were talking about it on the 9 o' clock news.

    It really is shocking! And ironic too because Australia is normally a very safe country with low crime rate.

    Absolutely gobsmacked about this

    I knew Eirebhoy from other Celtic forums and he was a wonderful guy with a keen insight into Celtic and football in general.

    RIP Eirebhoy

    PS: his mother must be a most remarkable lady, she is quoted:

    "I'd really like to say that as a mother I really feel for this guy who got into a fight with Gearoid," Mrs Walsh said.
