[Albion] A bit of Perspective

[B-right-on]

In life you (I) get stuck on something and assume an opinion which is pretty hard to shake.

Potter leaving, Bruno especially, really pissed me off and I felt let down by them, even though I don't know them at all.

Then along comes life and kicks you in the knackers and you (I) realise that things could be a lot lot worse.

Last night I heard that a very good friend of mine passed away. He was 57. He was diagnosed with cancer less than 8 weeks ago and went downhill extremely fast. Very successful businessman, has 5 fantastic kids between 7 and 15.

One of the nicest guys you'd ever meet and genuinely would spend hours helping others. A mutual friends construction business was struggling a few years ago, my mate took off every morning from his own business for around 6 months to help his other friend turn his business around, for free.

So goodbye Graham Potter, Bruno and the rest. I loved (mostly) the football you did here and good luck in whatever you do. I'm over it.

Onwards and upwards. Life is too short.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Condolences for your friend and his family.

8 weeks, crikey. Really sorry to read this; the loss of your mate and the family he leaves does put things in perspective. RIP

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences and you’re right, life is very short.

 

[Swansman]

Sorry to hear that. Cancer is a bitch.

Very sorry for your loss.

I've been dealing with some quite major family stuff myself, so haven't had time to get too emotionally involved with this situation at the Albion.

My take out is that really, it doesn't matter at all in the big scheme of things - and better to have loved and lost. Potter was amazing for us, and took an amazing opportunity when it came up. I shan't boo him, and I think that over time those who are really angry will forgive.

Sorry to hear that [MENTION=32905]B-right-on[/MENTION], think you are right, sometimes life has a way of just reminding you what really is important. Best wishes.

Really sorry to read this. Condolences to your friend's family and yourself. Absolutely puts things into perspective. <3

My condolences. On the way to a funeral on Thursday we were informed of another relative's death. Both in their 90s and both lovely ladies, RIP.

I'm sorry to hear this [MENTION=32905]B-right-on[/MENTION]. Terrible news.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

My condolences [MENTION=32905]B-right-on[/MENTION]. And you're spot on.

Sorry to hear this. Thoughts with his family.

I'm sitting in a pub hotel room in Bishops Stortford, here for my brother's funeral at the church over the road tomorrow. He died of cancer, aged 56, two weeks ago.

His passing has hugely changed a lot of my perspective. A desire not to get hung up on stuff that doesn't matter in the end. A desire to concentrate on what does.

I love the Albion, but I've come to realise I actually love the social connections it has brought more. Top or bottom of the league they remain. My best times supporting the club were when things were at their worst.

So whether the management team has gone or not we are all still here.

And that's all that matters really. It's about building relationships and memories most of all.

Condolences for your loss mate. I totally agree with your sentiment and life is way way to short to hold onto upsets over something like football. Yes get upset, even for a couple of days. But then let it go and get on with enjoying life.

You really never know what is around the corner.

Hope it goes as well as possible.

Incredibly sad to read that. Much sympathy to you and his family.

As my wife and I have discovered, life can get turned on its head in the blink of an eye.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend and condolences to you and his family.

Maybe that's it, maybe it's this big leveller of cancer that has made me say WTF when it comes to all things Brighton of the past week - as ultimately football doesn't really matter, does it?

So sorry to hear of your loss.
