Alex Birnie

Post by Shadeyclaret » Fri Aug 29, 2025 4:14 pm

I am a long time member of this message board but rarely post.
I hope you all don’t mind but a friend of mines young nephew has sadly passed away and asked to share a post from Facebook.
Thanks.

I am trying to get this to as many Clarets as I can, but because a lot of the fan pages are private, it can not be shared. Please could you share this far and wide, and if my Liverpool supporting friends could please put this out in the Liverpool groups, that would be amazing. ❤️

Morning Fellow Clarets, i hope everyone is well. I need to orgainse something and need the BFC community to help make it happen for me.
My 21 Year old Nephew was involved in a motorbike accident on Monday 25th August, and sadly passed away. Alex Birnie, was one amazing young man, Son to Dave and Corrie and big brother to Izzy, he was a successful business owner and lifelong claret, having a season ticket in the jimmy mac upper, where he attended games with his dad, as well as enjoying lots of away games. I am in the process of trying to get a tribute on the big screen for the Liverpool game, ideally on the 21st minute, but would also love everyone in the ground to help me celebrate the life of an absolute diamond of a lad by joining me in a minutes applause for him. I know his mum, dad and sister and the rest of his family and friends would find that amazing. If we could also share this around all the fans pages please.
Thank you. UTC. Forever 21 Buddy, always in hearts, until we meet again. xx

I’m so sorry to hear of your Nephew losing his life, such a young age. I’m sure if everyone in the ground is made aware of this on the big screen they’ll have no hesitation in joining in with a 1 minute applause. My sincere condolences all his family and friends.

Link below for a minutes applause at Colne for Alex. Need to get this out there so this happens at the Turf.

Really sorry to hear of this but I'm not for all this applause during a game - there was a match not long ago when there were five of them. Sorry if that makes me feel harsh.

I agree Tony. It doesn't make you seem harsh to me.
