Dreadful news.
Thoughts with his loved ones.

Rest in peace.

I don't really know what to say, that peoples way of thinking can be so far from your own it's staggering. Poor kid.

Poor everyone!
I don't think the family will ever get over this; my thoughts are with them.

Appalling
Thoughts are with their family and friends

thoughts and prayers for the rider, family and friends

Horrible.

Duplicate thread:

I know. I have already told Object.

"The victim suffered a single stab wound during the attack and two other members of the group had their bikes stolen. The victim managed to cycle further up Caledonian Road before collapsing."

This is awful news.

Not so much for your benefit as for that of others reading the thread.

Indeed. I thought threads on this board were supposed to start with the date to minimise duplication.
Duplication still happens regrettably and I have been responsible twice before.

RIP Alan Cartwright.

Ugh, this is awful. Poor kid. Hopefully the people (probably other kids) are caught.

Went past the location this morning. There's a huge quantity of flowers outside Cally Pool and in what I assume was a very personal touch, two bottles of irn bru.

RIP Alan.

[EDIT] I think either the BBC or the ES reports (or both) had it wrong, they've both been edited quite a few times since I first looked at them.

my bad... misread something

Unreal, that footage. That could have, just as easily, been any one of us guys.
Totally unprovoked.
Take care chaps.
Am fucking choked.

we don't know it was unprovoked.

there may be history or turf war. or similar.

still very sad though.

Man arrested in connection with the stabbing
