~Matt|P0p~ Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 An Arsenal fan in football-mad Kenya hanged himself wearing his beloved team's shirt after their defeat to Manchester United in the Champions League. Like elsewhere across Africa, Kenyans pack bars for Premier League and Champions League matches, especially those involving Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Suleiman Omondi, 29, was found hanged at his home in a middle-class Nairobi estate shortly after leaving distraught from the pub where he had watched Arsenal lose 3-1 in their Champions League semi-final at the Emirates on Tuesday. "He took some drinks and broke down in tears within the final minutes of the match," a fellow bar patron, who asked not to be named, told Reuters. Police said they were called to Omondi's house on Wednesday morning. "What we are gathering is this suicide is related to the Arsenal and Manchester match," local Embakasi area police chief David Bunei said. Bar attendants said they had to intervene after Omondi lunged at a man who suggested Arsenal would not recover from conceding two early goals. They also lost the first leg 1-0. Brawls are common in Kenya during football matches and there have been other related suicides reported in the past.

As I'm an Arsenal fan myself, I found that really sad and felt sorry for him as it wasn't a very nice night for us, but still killing yourself over a lose :S. :(
Steroids Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Yes I do feel sorry for him. If I was ronaldo i'd feel pretty bad :( Good game though lol, im utd fan. Bye gooners.
Luke Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Sucks that people over-react that much. Clearly points out an underlying mental problem, that was probably clear to the peopel close to him, and no one intervened. I want to make a Walli/Burnley joke here but I just have nothing..
Kyle|Lol The PK Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Doesn't surprise me, a lot of those soccer fans are fucking crazy lol.
LilMvp Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 He probably made a bet and was in debt. Exactly what I was thinking. Probably lost too much money for him to pay so he decided to go /emo.
Ow 3 Hit Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Gf Loot? God these jokes suck... YEAH BRO HE PRAY'D MELEE LULZUZLUZLZULZUZLAKHDGASJKGDJWA@!#@%#@@##~!!
I C0NN0R I Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 i can understand them being complete soccer fanatics, but is it worth hanging yourself over? maybe he didnt think his life was worth living if arsenal didn't go on. and yer, agree with ow 3 hit, this board is called off topic because its not meant to have ANYTHING to do with runescape, sdfu with ur nerd talk. /rant lol.

0_I_T0i_I_O Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 The only explanation is that he lost a bet i dont think anyone in the right mind would hang themselves over a game
Pot Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I don't see how a GAME can affect your life that much, pathetic.
Camo Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 aids would've gotten him anyways. Lmfaoooo. But I agree, probably an underground bet. But honestly they got nothing on manchester.
