@Ksfooteh @SkyFootball To be fair - the 29 other games where we've dropped points are what will be what get us relegated! Can't blame 1 tackle!

[jonnyjohnson1974@gma @jonnyjohnson74]

@BournemouthAir3 it's getting slower and slower here now. Airport used to be very efficient and now seems to be understaffed and disorganised. Come on please and sort this out! 1 belt open and about 8 flights out this morning. Taken nearly an hour to get through!

😡 "It was a disgrace. It's classless & disgusting."

🟥 "He should have a red card. Martinelli has judged Bradley by his own low standards..."

Jason Cundy doesn't hold back on Gabriel Martinelli...

[Everton FC News 💙 @NilSatisNews]

Michael Keane accidently pulls someone’s ’long’ hair when going for a header = sent off for “Violent Conduct”

Jack Grealish sarcastically claps a referee = sent off

Gabriel Martinelli throws a ball & pushes an injured Conor Bradley who is later stretched off = yellow card

Make it make sense…

[jonnyjohnson1974@gma @jonnyjohnson74]

@willste92 You'd best start off on a half i reckon!

[jonnyjohnson1974@gma @jonnyjohnson74]

@gturnbull1974 cheated out of a result! Good old Michael Oliver. 🤣

[LFC Photo @LFCphoto]

Should have stopped game for head injury.

No handball for the penalty.

Didn't book Mbuemo for a deliberate petulant off the ball kick on Gakpo.

Ignored United GK handling outside box.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the always predictable Michael Oliver.

Suicide - A 2 min read that resonates with everyone. Spend the next 2 mins of your life reading this.

Its good to talk!

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

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.
