RICHIE SADLIER’S FAMOUS dog Frank passed away last night.
The former Ireland international introduced his beloved pet to Ireland’s sports fans in recent months as he detailed the dog’s battle with epilepsy and constipation on Off The Ball.
The tale sparked a #prayforFrank hashtag on Twitter and listeners continued to ask for updates on his health. Sadlier’s Sunday Independent colleague Dion Fanning this morning confirmed the sad news however.
“It’s all too raw right now but we’ll pay fitting tribute when we return to the airwaves,” the OTB5 tweeted this afternoon.
Tuff news ..hate too lose my dog ..rip frank
Shocking waste of a piece of news space , it’s a dog, for gods sake.. It happens , it’s sad but a lot more tragedy in the country lads.
Yeah shame on the journal.ie for wasting all that Internet stuff :-p
You saw the headline, opened the article, read it. Then have time to comment and piss and moan about the journal.
F**k off!!
And you’re one of the saddest
Barky narky marky, If you feel that strongly, save up your dole and buy him another dog..
Sad news. RIP Frankie
Very sad news. A dog is a huge loss to a family. People are closer to their dogs than their siblings sometimes. Dogs are so loyal —- people can’t match it.
Only the weirdos are
Ahh poor Richie, sorry to hear it. Dogs wud break ur heart when they die
Your spelling breaks my heart.

Rip Frank. You’ll be able to shite wherever you want now in doggie heaven.
Laughing out loud, brilliant
RIP Frank. You’ll live forever in the minds of the former Off The Ball show listeners.
Rip frank…..
Poor Frank. Was is the epilepsy or the constipation?
Richies slot was the only bad part of the proper off the ball show and this story about his dog wasn’t in any way funny. Pity it was one of the last things the lads were involved with on the show
