Just to add to this I feel a little bit awkward exposing in public my personal battles but I'm sure I'll somehow get out of it. And I wanted to say I got a message from someone who said I wasn't grateful for the lottery money and I was just looking for sympathy, and how it could

@DLRbrts Thanks Dave that bit is definitely true.

I had my oldest and closest friend and my dad with me to celebrate but that can't happen, my friend Danny tragically took his own life and more recently my dad went from riding a very powerful motorbike one day only to be in hospital the next where he contracted an illness and

🚨 This is an absolute disgrace and a scandal!

#UEFA has fined Crvena Zvezda €95,500 over this choreography!

The largest portion €40,000 was issued for allegedly "displaying a message deemed inappropriate for a sporting event and for supposedly undermining the reputation and integrity of both football and UEFA itself". The message was: "May our faith lead you to victory".

This is unacceptable!
UEFA=👹

This is an absolute scandal.

Serbian football team Crvena Zvezda has been fined €95,500 after fans choreographed a motif of Jesus Christ!

UEFA fined them for "displaying a message not fit for a sporting event and bringing the reputation of football and UEFA itself into disrepute".

The image was a traditional Orthodox tifo of Jesus Christ or Saint Simeone the Myrrh-flowing, while the text underneath read:

“May our faith lead you to victory".

UEFA has stopped games for Ramadan and openly promoted BLM and LGBT campaigns during tournaments.

But Christianity is ‘inappropriate’?!
What an utter disgrace.

Tomorrow, I will continue to be. But you will have to be very attentive to see me. I will be a flower, or a leaf. I will be in these forms, and I will say hello to you. If you are attentive enough, you will recognize me, and you may greet me. I will be very happy.

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.

My dad died on Wednesday and I honestly can't take it in, it was only a year ago (feels like last week) that we sat together and watched the Clarets get promoted at Middlesbrough and now he's gone. Life can be so cruel. I love and miss you dad.
