[Football] 3.01 pm kick-off. Time for some more preaching

[Hastings gull]

I see Hastings is now in a posting frenzy.

Not reading it. Sorry. Later on in the year when you've sobered up no doubt you'll post something others find interesting and I will have a peek.

Well the ignore didn't last long! I suppose your vanity ( and the arrogance of that statement ) was such that your need to have the last word meant that you just couldn't stop.

A short film narrated by the Duke of Cambridge will be played at FA Cup matches to encourage football fans to look after their mental health.
The film will be played in stadiums just before kick-off at every FA Cup third round match this weekend.
Kick-off for all 32 fixtures will be delayed for 60 seconds to prompt fans to consider their well-being.

What a bunch of extreme bollocks. Is anyone REALLY going to consider their well-being for one minute before a football match because they're prompted to? We're football fans going to a football match. Stop assuming we all need help. And if we do, then a football match is not the time or place. Everyone's fecking virtue signalling. Oh, aren't we great, we're pretending to be interested in mental health … two weeks ago it was rainbow laces. Open a frigging church next door to the Amex so that folks who want to be preached at can go in there before the game. Rant over. Well, this one anyway … for the moment.

Just imagine if you can if this had been done before a game at the Goldstone. Everyone would have fallen about laughing … and this would be the correct reaction tomorrow.

You’re a moaning old judgemental bellend - I ain’t forgotten prick.

It does. It means (you tiresome bore) that the u and i key are next to each other on the keyboard, and I'd corrected it before I saw your latest bit of condescending pendantry. Shall we go through all your posts with a fine tooth comb,

The fact there was a one key typo on my post doesn't mean his made sense.

Ok, it might have meant that I was being condescending, but I genuinely had not realised that your post's lack of clarity was the result of the typo. So, I am assuming that the insult was as a result of your understandable annoyance, which would be fair enough - IF that is the case. And the other "typos" -have you been drinking?

No but you clearly have. Have a night off granddad.

Every once in a while its worth remembering/thinking about those who are in a bad place, and what we can do for them to help them. A one minute thing on Saturday is no big thing for those that don't want it, but a big thing that do. It will raise awareness so whats the prob? Leave 4 minutes earlier, instead of 3?

I was emotionally quite angry on this thread earlier due to a number of personal, and still quite raw, incidents regarding MH (sorry if I offended anyone), but reading through it now - after a mellowing bottle of merlot - is quite enlightening. Is basically 3 nobends vs the world, isn’t it ?

The beauty of the ignore feature is that you see the name but not the post, so observing a posting frenzy, doesn’t mean reversing the ignore feature, just the number of sterile blanks with your username.

A little variation in knobends would bring a welcome bit of variety occasionally though

I've only read the first few posts of this thread and then decided to come back and answer you directly anyway. As someone you has suffered mental health challenges in the past ( indeed I still do as it never really goes away ) I find your lack of understanding somewhat pathetic. It's the least understood part of human health and certainly underfunded.

One of the biggest problems, most certainly amoungst men, is people not recognising they have an issue and more so not being willing to do anything about it. You're post highlights perfectly why this is the case. You clearly have an attitude of 'men should be men' and zero understanding of the issue. Football is the perfect stage to highlight these issues. Of course the message won't get through to people like you regardless so might I suggest you just spend that minute doing something less constructive ?

MY friend - I too have suffered what you have, as I posted to you at the time, and would never wish it on anyone else. Believe me, I share you view that a minute's reflection is in theory very desirable and of course it would not do anyone any harm. There is no problem as such, and never will be. But I would ask you to think how you would react , if you contacted the club, who had decided that in your case, they really could not help, as there has been so many of late and the fans had got tired of it. This is my concern.

We have lost some notable members of NSC to suicide the last decade. I am not going to name them but if this 1 minute can make someone close to the edge think again, and I guess of the 1 million going to watch matches tomorrow there may be hundreds it would have done some good. For many the football may be their only outlet and the only time they make the effort to get out. I think it is very worthwhile

 

[Hastings gull]

I was actually trying to be conciliatory, but this clearly had no impression, and you wonder if I have ben drinking . . .

You've got nothing to apologise for mate. You're one of the nicest posters on here.

If the dickheads attend tomorrow (or watch any FA Cup match this weekend on TV) something might finally sink into their tiny little brains about it being a crippling illness, whether depression, anxiety, OCD, anything. I'm not holding my breath though.

Two can play that game. You also highlighted completely the wrong things and things that weren't typos and broke the quotes. But maybe you're just shit at using computers.

Me neither........going to hit some people like a sledgehammer when they eventually experience it though.

To have bad anxiety and depression can be crippling. Worse than having 100 broken bones and not suffering from it. I think more people understand now but for many, ie those who have not experienced it, they will just do not get it, which the op has clearly expressed
