Just checking the outcome of the thread. Thanks for that. Appreciated.

With no disrespect to US, Thank you JG.

I may be being a bit harsh on him, but only because the programme makers chose to shine all lights through him. My problem was with the whole package. Footballers are not special, and mental illness, whether reactive or endogenous, is not especially prevalent in this community. Anyone never...

Apologies, you have completely misunderstood. I am not applauding the tumbleweed. I was appalled. People don't like mental illness and I bet you when folk log on tomorrow they will troll this thread. Separately . . . . the programme was tat. It showed no insight. Finally, you and uncle S...

I think you are reading everything I type the wrong way. By that I meant that if I were depressed I would not have been inspired by that programme.

You TOTALLY misunderstand. My point was the tumbleweed was shameful - and commonplace. Mr CC in his snazzy glasses will not counter the ignorance and distaste. This is a serious issue. Want to hear a footballer talk about depression, listen to Stan Collymore. He came on 606 one Sunday night on...

Unless you imagine that depression is restricted to football players . . . . my point was it isn't, and that the programme is exploitation TV, and as I watched it, a vehicle for shining a light on the charismatic Mr Carlisle . . . . depression/suicide is a serious business and the programme...

Please. An assumption too far.

My head of department resigned in the middle of a staff meeting because of depression. The response was tumbleweed. Its everywhere, not just football. And it is met with ignorance and distaste. And this programme still seems to be about CC . . . journalism . . . .whatever.

That Bradford performance was class. CC bystander . . . .

It is though. Not that I'm complaining . . . he's an attractive character. His thing was the drink. He had several years of it. Amazing how vanity can bring you back from the brink. Viva vanity . . .. I think we may have a conversation brewing here . . . . these are complex issues.

Pragramme is all about C C innit . . . .

Clarke Carlisle is charismatic and will be a good politician. Not sure I'd trust him with my missus, though . . .

Yes, OK, I was a bit harsh. But suicide is much more prevalent in other walks of life. My guess is it is lower than average among footy players. Depression though, well, if you get the boot then it is hard, and plenty do in footy, and that would depress anyone. But I imagine this is not what the...

Yeah, saw that trailed. Not watching. Same old story. Macho profession, troubles verboten, slightly higher than average suicide risk. All sympathy to the suffering and dead, but its not a story. Its exploitation TV.
