11th minute applause today

[Delmary]

By Newcastle fans for Gary Speed who died a year ago.

[hypochondriac]

Not sure how heroic it is to kill yourself. Sad yes and feel terribly sorry for the family he has left behind and that he got himself into the state in the first place.

Not heroic. Understandable that they want to pay respects to the man though.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Good for them - but why 11th minute?

[Turkish]

I absolutely loved Gary Speed, a top player and a top man. Gutted we missed out on signing him c2004.

 

Just saying.

[dobbo]

Good for them - but why 11th minute?

 

He wore the number 11 shirt.

[NickG]

this seems to be the 'in' thing to do.

 

if they want to fair enough but don't personally get it...but I got over Lady Di in about 5 minutes!

Depression is an illness, and not something that you 'get yourself' in Hypo.

[Huffton]

No problem with them doing it, and I will happily join in for a player like Speed. However what happens if we score on 10:55?

[Tokyo-Saint]

this seems to be the 'in' thing to do.

You're having a laugh, what the people's princess?

[mcjwills]

You're having a laugh, what the people's princess?

 

Tokyo do not get me into a discussion about that woman. Her replacement is far more regal and has never disrespected the royal family since she has joined, unlike the overfawned clothes horse.

[Tokyo-Saint]

I feel the same, think a forum whoosh may be in order

 

Sounds like a good one for the Lounge though, bet some dune type loved her.

[Bearsy]

I had a dream bout her the other day. It was very vivid! I reckon i was visited by her sexy ghost or something, I totally woke up covered in sticky white ectoplasm.

[Tokyo-Saint]

How did it taste?

[Tokyo-Saint]

Hang in bear, I don't know if you've noticed or not but we are on the main board here. I'll cause a distraction, then after 3 leg it.

 

The stadium needs expanded, Cortese is picking the team except when we win, my mate is in the know but I'm not saying what we know as I don't want to blow his cover.

 

1....2....

[Bearsy]

How did it taste?

 

I'll send you a sample!

Oh yeah good point. On topic what I do nowadays is clap clap for the entire 90 minutes to make sure i don't miss any of the minute applauses. I don't want people singing No Respect, M'Lord at me.

[the stain]

However what happens if we score on 10:55?

 

Only clap for 3 seconds, leave a 2 second pause and then start a new applause for Speed.

[Spudders]

this seems to be the 'in' thing to do.

 

if they want to fair enough but don't personally get it...but I got over Lady Di in about 5 minutes!

 

On what minute is her applause for those still not over this shocking event yet?

[Saint Troy]

what happens if guly is brought on from the bench after 10:59 mins. boo or clap you decide?

[hypochondriac]

Erm you do get into depression. That has certainly been my experience with a number of people and close family.

[Jonnyboy]

I know a lot of people who just get into flu, the cvnts.

[Saint_clark]

Well, this didn't happen. What went wrong there?

[Spudders]

It got moved to the 34th minute, thought the saints fans were very respectful but the Newcastle fans not so much. It was done again on 60 minutes but same thing happened

[BadgerBadger]

Were there any Newcastle fans in the ground?????? Didn't hear any...........................

[de-fence]

I agree with hypo. Thousands of people suffer from depression in the UK and not all of them kill themselves. Put another way he is a murderer of a father of two kids. Suicide is the ultimate act of cowardice in my opinion.

As a sufferer, I can say that it isn't something you get into, it is not a state of mind, it is not a cope out or any of the other stigmas attached to it. It is a medical condition caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. This is caused itself by numerous things in life that require the body to create chemicals to counter low moods, distress, emotional pain etc.

 

Everybody copes differently and there is no standard of how a person reacts to events or occurrences. It is unique to every individual.

 

In my opinion, right or wrong, I'm sure one of you will tell me either way, suicide is not cowardly. For some it is the only way to make the pain stop. You really have to be at your lowest ebb to consider it clearly enough to go through with it. Admittedly, there are a large number who threaten it for attention, which can make sympathy and empathy hard to feel, however, if you can actually go through with ending your life and leave even the good things in it behind, something must have been horrendously upsetting or emotionally painful. Without being that person, it is impossible to know what they are going through or how they are feeling.

 

Mental health issues are real, as I said previously, I can attest to this. I will be taking anti-depressants for the rest of my life to combat my low ebb. Fortunately for me, I haven't been low enough to follow through with considerations, but they have been there.

 

Also, through my own personal experience, I can say that the stigmas that go with being treated for mental illness make it very difficult to ask for help or even admit that there is a problem.

 

I'll climb down off my soap box now as I should be working rather than ranting

I respect you for this as members of my family have suffered and I do know how hard it can be to admit that to others that there is a problem.

Society needs to be more mindful of the effects of mental health.

Unfortunately those who believe that you just need to 'pull yourself together' are greatly misinformed.

Absolutely right. Those who say you should just "pull yourself together" talk out of ignorance and stupidity. Unless you've been there or been very close to someone who has then you don't have a clue. It's a deep dark place and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Words fail me.....
