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

[Surrey_Albion]

I doubt many people will be laughing at Mental Health issues tomorrow, maybhmaybhe that shows how the majority of people and society have evolved since the seventies and eighties, however your post shows that there is still some way to go.

You say that but having severe ocd im a bit f**ked up by seeing 1 minute past on the fixtures

 

[Albion my Albion]

Very well said. I am waiting for the testicular cancer awareness match whereby your neighbouring fan is encouraged to check your balls for you!

That's what Tom Brady said he was doing just before a playoff game with the Colts. Just checking someones balls for them.

 

[darkwolf666]

If the OP wanted to use this moment to slam Tony Bloom and Paul Barber as feigning righteousness, he picked a crass example.

I’m sure they both care deeply about helping, even just a little, to save lives.

The OP doesn’t come across as deep thinking as that. Instead, just someone irritated by a game of football starting a minute later, because some some saddo’s should cheer up, snap out of it.

I am not defending the OP for one minute, but think his stance was along the lines of what next. Will every game be delayed by a minute for that week's good cause.

I understand the need for getting over the importance of mental health issues as I look after children who suffer, but does that mean every week we will have an equally worthy cause to promote?

Next week cancer, the week after Alzheimer's, then eating disorders and so on. After a while it loses its affect. And yes, we are there to watch a game of football...

Fair comment.

In a later post or two, didn’t he then go onto display the “people should just cheer up” stance?

I certainly haven't "slammed" Tony Bloom and Paul Barber. This is nothing to do with them. All matches are kicking off at 3.01pm. The FA gets the blame.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Support the cause 100%, love the idea, just wish I didn't have to look at a member of the royal family on the big screen introducing it.

[MENTION=19308]Shooting Star[/MENTION] said you making a point about the club virtue signalling.

He was entirely incorrect then.


Separate to that, in post #55 you stated:

“So am I correct in thinking that the majority of posters on this thread believe that someone who is "a bit down" or is "having a bad day" actually has a mental health issue? No wonder there are so many people suffering with the problem. I seem to remember the time, not long ago (but it seems now that it may have been in a different galaxy) when people who hit a bit of a roadblock in their lives dealt with the problem without a lot of fuss, dusted themselves down, and got on with their lives. Now it appears that every problem that someone faces is labelled as a mental health issue and blown out of all proportion.”

That shows the education of the public has some way to go.

Actually it is the only thing Advanced Search is good for. Gives you 20 pages to go through and copy and paste. Took 10 minutes. Didn't bother with the plethora of Saddam posts though.

Sorry - but I am also interested to see if, when presented with the above selection, [MENTION=28630]Hastings gull[/MENTION] is willing to either justify or retract his frankly bizarre assertion that calling out the author of these posts as a bigot somehow makes me a bigot and the OP not one.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Support the cause 100%, love the idea, just wish I didn't have to look at a member of the royal family on the big screen introducing it.

The Duke of Cambridge is the president of the FA, and suffered himself from depression following the death of his mother. He is also very involved with mental health charities.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

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.

What a prat you have made yourself look ! I take it you have not suffered from depression/ PTSD ? Have more respect for your fellow supporters or shut up !!

 

[Giraffe]

If it helps one person in the crowd tomorrow to seek help, or speak up about their problem, then it's a winner for me.

Not enough is done to help men's health, physical or mental - we are a long way behind women in this respect.

I think it's a great idea and I love the idea of a 3.01pm. Reminds me of Withdean when we never kicked off on time

 

[portlock seagull]

Lewis Dunk stars in the video so technically you're still watching the Albion. So sit down, shut up! It'll do some good, somewhere.

 

[Boston28]

Read the op and not the 150 replies but I hope the vast majority echo mine. Your attitude toward something as serious as this is appalling and if this whole scheme just makes one person reach out and get help for anything they might be going through then it has more then done it’s job. As someone who has lost a close friend to suicide and also currently going through some mental health issues of my own schemes like this have helped me first hand seek help and if only people were made more aware in the ‘good old days’ I might not have had to bury my best friend at the age of 22.
Rant over

10 pages in 4 hrs ?

Can't be arsed reading it but assume [MENTION=144]goldstone[/MENTION] is talking complete bollocks whilst being backed up by the other two wise monkeys [MENTION=7631]wellquickwoody[/MENTION] and [MENTION=28630]Hastings gull[/MENTION]. I'm guessing they are still struggling to come to terms with the fact we are in the 21st century, let alone a new decade.



Brand new year, same old shit

Best bit is that it is not even a new decade yet you ignoramus

 

[wellquickwoody]

On a positive note its only really 3 idiots on this thread [MENTION=144]goldstone[/MENTION] [MENTION=7631]wellquickwoody[/MENTION] and [MENTION=28630]Hastings gull[/MENTION] that seem to have a problem with this issue being raised. Perhaps in time even these low life scum may be educated but I fear that whatever is said some people just don't have the capacity to understand what others maybe going through.

Scum? Says volumes about you.
