Kenyan Arsenal fan hangs himself

[Blue_Tires]

A Kenyan fan of English football club Arsenal has hanged himself after his team's defeat by Manchester United.

The north London club was beaten 3-1 in the European Champions League semi-final second leg on Tuesday evening.

Suleiman Omondi, 29, who was watching in a bar in the capital, Nairobi, was incensed by the club's poor showing.

He left at half-time after arguing with a Manchester United fan and was found hanging from a rope in his house, still dressed in an Arsenal shirt.

'Broke down'

The BBC's Josphat Makori in Nairobi says the unprecedented incident has shocked football fans in Kenya.

According to his friends, Mr Omondi was in good spirits at the beginning of the match and even when Arsenal conceded the first goal, he did not seem to be affected.

1. That's really sad. I am a rabid Aston Villa FC fan, but we're known for our self-loathing.

Someone has to have some serious problems to commit suicide ostensibly over the results of a football match. I suspect there is more to it than just that. There is more in that man's psyche in pain than anything ManU can dish out.

Good heavens, it's not like Arsenal lost to Newcastle or Hull.

5. Many questionable calls

especially on hand ball on both sides- Meluda was taken down in the box, not a free kick but a penalty not given. The red card against Barca that put them down to ten men was pathetic! Drogba looked like Ronaldo, divin and cryin. There was no hand ball at the end because the player had his back to the play.
