    What really gets me is that a toenail or an elbow can be offside. If you want a game like American football that is ruled by TV replays, so be it, but I prefer a bit of a linos or refs error

    The world as we know it is upside down - after their win in Ireland the other day, Luxembourg are now leading Portugal 1-0.

    Yes but I didn’t realise the top team will only automatically get through so might have to rely on the play offs if they come 2nd.

    According to SSN, Celtic are after Eddie Howe as their next manager.

    Be a lot of pressure on him to catch not let Rangers win again.

    Bit of sad news for Yeovil - their captain Lee Collins died suddenly yesterday. 32 is far too young to go really. :( <rose>

    That's a tragedy. I sincerely hope that we don't have another Gary Speed scenario on our hands.

    You know it's a funny old season when West Brom are scoring 4 goals at Chelsea albeit helped having an extra man.

    I am afraid we do.
    Footballer Lee Collins was found hanging in his hotel room, an inquest has heard.

    Mr Collins, who was captain of Yeovil Town FC, was discovered at the Lanes Hotel in West Coker, near Yeovil, on March 31.

    Just what some people go through I cannot imagine.

    This is so sad.

    That is actually rather upsetting to read.

    Please, please, TALK to someone folks - take it from someone who's had their moments and done two years in therapy.

    No I was never suicidal but I knew where the path I was on would lead if I did not turned and faced my problems.

    Yes please do talk to someone has to be the advice. A friend in France had problems, and whenever we got together for a chat his wife said that he was like his old self for the week after. I didn't see him for a number of weeks, and he slipped back and took his own life. Nothing to do with my skills, just a friend who would listen and chat.

    Every time I read of an incident like this my stomach turns over. Mrs J T has had 2 bouts of clinical depression. The first (1985) nearly fatal. The second (2002) just grim. Both required lengthy hospital stays. They clearly saved her, and 'cured' her but the experiences were truly awful. I cannot describe how painful it is either being in or seeing someone in a secure psychiatric ward , however professional and kind the staff are - (and some who aren't really do cause problems). Unfortunately, she is heading in the same direction again. (And is terrified of the secure ward option - believe me). It makes no sense that having had those experiences, someone would go there again. The fact is, there is no 'choice'. The events of the last 12 months have just been too much - and we are a couple with hardly any concerns, especially compared to many many people. Trying to catch it before it gets worse is very difficult. Even with our experience we might have left it too late to get medical assistance , but it isn't always that visible. We have all felt fed up. But that isn't a medical condition.
    Clinical depression is an illness - and is not anyone's fault, especially not the sufferer, their family or their close friends. Determining that the condition exists is extremely difficult. I have huge sympathy for anyone trying to deal with this situation.
    I particularly want to add something to OFH's comment. The friendly chats may well have helped, and I wouldn't in any sense wish to discourage people from trying to help others they suspect are having a hard time, but they couldn't prevent it getting worse. I hope you understand that. I've been there. It's a case of holding on, and praying that the lowest point isn't too low. I'm not scared yet, and the treatments have improved , but it's not a good place to be right now.
    I'm sorry for the gloom , but I felt it had to be put out there.
