To the guy that stood strong on his own but ended up getting the flying crossbody during Converge on Saturday, I salute you.

Everyone that moved and left it all to him, y’all are fucking cowards

[Kane @Kane_KSHC]

These fuckers need to stop just falling into the crowd instead of actually jumping when diving.

Just fucking send it!! Flopping onto the front row is dumb and you’re probably more likely to actually eat shit.

[Kane @Kane_KSHC]

@noxheav3n One was beatdown, the other isn’t…not really a fair comparison

[Kane @Kane_KSHC]

@McDougall1994 Glad to be wrong on this occasion 🤙

[Kane @Kane_KSHC]

@McDougall1994 A confusing individual indeed 😂😂😂

Suicide.

I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.

You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.

Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.

I know 2 men who hung themselves.

One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.

A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.

So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?

A segway for a moment.

I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.

After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..

"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".

Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.

"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.

After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".

Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".

And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.

Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.

If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.

They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".

They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.

If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.

Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.

So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.

You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.

For those who struggle, you're not alone.

The deepest circle of hell is reserved for this fake show

[Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Podcast @TrveCvltPop]

This obviously isn’t true. But it’s like someone reached into the darkest recesses of my soul and pulled out the closest thing my imagination could conceive of actual hell on earth.

[Kane @Kane_KSHC]

@jimhamilton4 Seeing all the flag shaggers crying on twitter about it made me laugh

It’s not that deep 😂

[Kane @Kane_KSHC]

@SimeonHawkins @rugbyontnt @LeicesterTigers He’s in the training squad at the moment. Still young unfortunately playing a position which is absolutely stacked full of class.

Give it a few years.

[Kane @Kane_KSHC]

@davidwforde @rugbyontnt Always does, shithouse

Moses does it again. Mercy me.
