IANOVICH CAR CRASH THREAD - HE'S OKAY BTW

Post by **anon6** » 06 Oct 2008, 21:32

Guys and girls,

I chatted to Ianovichs' girlfriend this evening on Instant Messenger. He was seriously injured in a car accident earlier, and is currently being moved to either SouthHampton or a London hospital. Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family and friends in his time of need.

Mod edit for clarification (12345678 posted the following..)

it's not a wind up, but not so serious that ian shouldn't be out of hospital within a day or two.

just spoken to a long time friend of ian's on his (ian's) home number.

my guess is he'll be back on fiso by the weekend.

not a nice thing to have happened to anyone but he will have people around him to care for him and will no doubt make a full recovery as soon as he can.

it did look potentially much more serious than broken leg bones initially.

Can I ask anyone who knows Ianovich to jump online and chat to his girlfriend.

Post by **Hairybear** » 06 Oct 2008, 21:49

Sorry i can't help mate, apart from say a prayer. Hope he pulls through.

Think Andy 12345678 knows him. But I can't find an e.mail address, just a pm.

Post by **Peoples** » 06 Oct 2008, 21:51

I have some of the poker players on my MSN list but sadly not Ianovich although I fail to see how I can help. I hope he makes a swift recovery & wish him all the best.

Post by **beglee** » 06 Oct 2008, 21:58

Hope it's not as serious as it sounds. all the best to him

Perhaps a mod/admin could make this thread an anouncement that appears on all the forums to get the attention of anyone who might know him?

Post by **Adidasandahalf** » 06 Oct 2008, 21:58

Shit!!

Tomorrow is a really bad day for me,but if I can I will attempt to get to whatever hospital he is in.
Can defintiely go wednesday morning,

F*ck, this sounds bad. Hope he pulls through, he's a genuinely top bloke.

Post by **Peoples** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:11

Or post it on here.

Post by **DixieDean** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:19

Wow... two lots of bad news in one day on here.

I really hope he's OK... I just rang Barry to see if he knows any other contacts that could ring her. How that would help i don't know but it's worth a try.

Post by **barry** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:20

I don't have any contact details myself for the old punk, but I do hope he's ok. 1086, you still speaking to his girlfriend?

Adidas - a visit would be great if you could manage it, pass on all our best wishes.

Totally agree. Ian is an absolute pleasure to converse with on this forum. Let's hope it's not as bad as it sounds and the guy is back on here soon.

Post by **thepole** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:27

Best wishes Ian, hope you get well soon.

Yes. Good work Mike. The girl is obviously in pieces. It looks like you've helped her a great deal.

Post by **Yer Old Da** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:37

I was about to post that. You've done well there Mike to be fair.

Post by **Kenners** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:39

I'm lost for words, horrible news, I don't know the guy but thanks to all who are helping him, especially you Mike.

Praying you get through this Ian.

Post by **The Drog's Ballacks** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:42

Yeah fair play 1086/Mike you're doing a great job, Im sure she appreciates it.

Hope Ian makes a full recover seems like a top fella.

Post by **AKNel1** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:42

There is a suspicion (and I hope in some ways it is) that this is a wind up.

Ianovich or someone using his FISO name may have posted at 20.55 tonight.

viewtopic.php?f=82&t=50313&p=1053178#p1053178" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If it's not a wind-up, well done Mike

If it is a wind up....

Post by **grob** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:47

Ianovich is one of those guys who have a special gift for making others smile - rarely a day goes by when I don't notice and appreciate his special sense of humour.

We'll all,even those of us who've not had any direct contact with him,be thinking of him.

I've sent PM's to a few people who were in contact with him,through 5AS and/or AFL(SunderlandFan,Dalythgoe,atx1303,viddleodge, and just adding 5LB) to let them know.

Post by **Crompton** » 06 Oct 2008, 22:47

Hope however bad it is Ianovich has the strength to pull through. Top poster and comes over as a genuine, fun loving guy who enjoys life.
