Does anyone know who that Ex-Man Utd player is who has been jailed for 15 months? I worry this will be a siobri case where it’s not allowed to be said so I apologise in advance if that’s the case

Taking a risk

Pretty sure it’s not a secret that it’s Ronnie Wallwork. Dodgy scrap metal dealer.

It’s been reported all over the place.

Im not sure, we got an exam in Visual Programming on Friday, it’s my own fault im so far behind on the stuff to be honest.
Also got a test in Decision Tree’s software on Wednesday, which for the life of me i don’t know whats going on…...

All these Gary Speed tributes are annoying me.

He may have been a decent footballer, but anyone that takes their own life and leaves a wife and child behind is a coward in my eyes. If you’re depressed,  get help. Don’t be a bottler.

If I deserted my wife and kids no-one would be laying down tributes for me. How is killing yourself any different? IMO it’s worse.

Annoys me even more now that Socrates dies there won’t be all these tributes and minutes silences, even though he did such amazing things (politically) in Brazil.

Had to get that off my chest! Not trying to wind people up but that’s how I feel.

I’m covering someone elses role at work at the moment while they’re on annual leave. Holy shit I have never someone so inconsistently disorganised! Double handling everything, a filing system that makes no sense and isn’t applied across the whole of the role, making it damn near impossible to find stuff when things go wrong and need to be sorted.

We’ll be having a chat when they’re back from leave. It was doing my head in today. I’ve had to fix several screwups just in the first day. And it’s tens of thousands of dollars worth of screwups, not just little stuff.

Was doing my head in.

I’m going to have to take you to task on this…

Get help? It isn’t as easy as that and your attitude towards it is part of the reason, it’s because there’s so much stigma attached to depression and anxiety. He probably didn’t just decide to kill himself on a whim, this has probably been eating away at him for years and years on the inside, too worried or too embarrassed or too scared to get help and one day it just ate him up so much inside that he saw suicide as the only way out. Depression is a mental health problem that needs to be taken seriously, not just an attitude from others of “snap out of it, get on with it”, it needs to be treated like any other mental health issue and people need to know that there are people out there who will help them and not judge them.

Just had to get that off my chest.

As for Socrates, I don’t see why you think a death resulting from struggling with an addiction to alcohol and nicotine is seen as any more socially acceptable as a death resulting from years struggling with depression.

As for tributes and minutes silences, I’m sure there’ll be plenty across the world especially in Brazil… you didn’t seen the last round of the Brazilian championship characterised by applause for Gary Speed, so I doubt you’ll see this weekend’s games in the Premier League having remembrance for Socrates.

Lots of people have this view so fair enough. Imagine though what sort of state you have to be in to leave your family and life behind forever. I think only once you know how that feels can you make a judgement.

I don’t, it was more of a general response to the guy who posted about it originally.

Well a healthy man killing himself age 42 would indidcate a mental illness of that kind would it not? Thats not the actions of a normal mind.

My fucking ex. Who admittedly I am still very much in love with. But she’s messed me about so much.

We split up about two months ago, she started seeing another guy pretty much straight afterwards but they were splitting up a lot because of various reasons.

Anyway, she knows I still like her and a few times we seemed close to getting back together but she insisted she still liked this other guy. She was possibly telling the other guy the same stuff to him.

But I decided I’d give her time to work out what it was she wanted to do, decided to be a bit mature about the whole thing. This other guy tells her that either she stops seeing me/talking to me or he wants nothing to do with her. She said she wasn’t going to stop talking to me because he was being controlling and immature. That was about two weeks ago.

Today she tells me she’s changed her decision, she wants to be with him and that means she can’t see or talk to me. What a load of bollocks.

For the past nine months I’ve been pretty much her only friend and now this… it’s bollocks…

I’m experiencing the mixed emotions of having an exam cancelled because it’s windy outside… Now I have to sit it after Christmas when I could’ve just failed it today and got it out of the way - bloody wind!

You should probably kill him. I know I’d do it if my gf done that. Well maybe not kill, but you get the point.

Jonny, block, delete, unsubscribe and get rid. I talk about this with you every week, and I’ll happily talk for a million more about it, but seeing you get fucked about is not fair and you need to just drop your nice personality for once and cut all contact with her. You’ve done the right thing pretty much all the way through this, but it’s going to go on forever unless you cut contact for a couple of months.

Yeah what he said ^

Oh and what schools get closed because it’s bloody windy?

I’ve changed her name in my phone to “Don’t Text or Ring” and I’ve ignored a few texts from her already since she let me know what she’s doing.

She can find out what it’s going to be like not to talk to me.

Utter devastation, I imagine. Come out on Saturday and let’s test that ‘Don’t Text or Ring’ hypothesis after some Chorley Screamers and a Turbokenegro*.

*the two greatest drinks ever invented. For the uninitiated:

Chorley Screamer: two apple Sambucas, two raspberry Sambuca, a shot of Jägermeister and a can of Red Bull.
Turbokenegro: Place one Babybel at the bottom of a pint glass, add triple vodka, rum, a dash of Hennessey, a splash of Stella Artois and top up with cola.

Its wrong for us to speculate I guess but I cant see how depression of some sort isnt involved.

I didn’t have anything to get off my chest until I read this thread, now I do…..oh the irony!

re: Gary Speed:  I am tired of hearing people espouse “if i was him I’d….” about so many different issues, but especially about issues as tragically personal as suicide.
Apply some logic here people, if you were him, YOU’D HAVE DONE EXACTLY THE SAME or you wouldn’t have been him!!!!! Same conditioning, same upbringing, same scenarios…..same outcome.
Perhaps some people need to re-enforce to themselves some fundamental principles that they consider make up a significant part of their psyche in order to strengthen those beliefs to help them through life, go for it. It’s just that doing it publicly is so insensitive.
Until you’ve walked a mile in another mans shoes, don’t judge….voice your opinions on less personal topics eh, like the offside rule etc

Bitchy girls doing my head in this week. There’s an absolute bellendista in our year at college who spends her whole fucking time slagging off a certain group of girls, who are all of them absolutely lovely yet i know if i said anything to her i’d get it in the neck 1000x worse. Slag. Worse still, her first choice uni is the same as mine

When someone lets you across at a zebra crossing, dont stroll across like a cocky prick (without acknowledging the driver at least)I really want to run some of these people over

I used to do this. However, it is now extremely rare that a driver actually lets me cross, they largely either stop at the very last second or sit there revving and come close to running me over after. This means that in stead of strolling across like a cocky prick, I sort of scamper/skip like a camp cock

Well the reason youre stopping is to let them across.some people intentionally amble across really slowly.They probably the same people that press the pedestrian light when theyre not actually crossin the road or when theres no traffic.
also cyclists that think they are a car,just go a bit slower and cross at the pedestrian light-i am probably going to be home before you anyway so take it easy

I’m in a very common situation, trying to work up the guts to ask a girl that I really, really like out. Worried she just considers me a friend, but part of me feels it could certainly develop into more, and I’ve been obsessing over the situation lately.

Listening to the World Football (not the Phone-in) on the World Service, and they were highlighting the problems Gibraltar have had in trying to join UEFA. Spain have said they’ll boycott internatioal football if they are allowed in, which is obviously mental, but the whole situation is down to diplomatic and political issues. It got me to thinking, because Israel are in UEFA and Australia are in the AFC, so why don’t Gibraltar just join the CAF? They are hardly far away from Africa, and the lower standard might suit them so they don’t become another San Marino or Liechtenstein.

This whole sideshow is quite interesting, though not half as interesting as it would be if another territory with the same legal status applied for membership of its nearest regional footballing body - The Falkland Islands.

To be honest, while it is always nice to see self-determination and national identity expressed on the football pitch, UEFA really doesn’t need another tiny nation clogging up the works, especially one that isn’t a proper state in the first place (though having said that, I’m pretty sure the Faroe Islands technically belong to Denmark).

Oh, I don’t know. Joining CAF would be pretty interesting I suppose. Hmmm. I’m conflicted.

I know it’s wrong to speculate but and tthat it is the most likely reason but I don’t think we should say it’s definatley deppression.

Darren Fletcher, of BBC 5live is one of my least favourite ‘reporters’.

The people who have started to bash De Gea again since wednesday are fucking mental.

And I’m going to stop listening to 5Live football daily podcasts because on the whole they infuriate me. 606 ones especially. Pogach, fletcher, danny mills, lawro (in the one I’m listening to) are completely ridiculous.

thanks

The Fegie is a wanker campaign that is going on on here is a bit much. A lot of people jumping on the band wagon, I GUARANTEE that if it were Wenger or AVB then they would not be called dickheads.
