    Well it is part and parcel of my job and has been for 45 years. Taking calls two nights a week at the moment. BUT calling a NHS run Mental Health "Crisis" Line is not the whole answer unless you are in Mental Health Services, have a recognised diagnosis and the "Risk" level is deemed "High". I am mainly sought to action Section 136 presentations or MHA Assessments. Of course that is usually urgent and needed. But it is often life events, loss and potential loss that eats away - leading to guilt, hopelessness, worthlessness and helplessness - and often when we "bottle" it up another kind of bottle is a coping mechanism. Many people who call want to maintain strict confidentiality and often anonimity, many are still put off by the stigma and most just want to talk and be consoled. Primary Care Mental Health has been overloaded and waiting lists are "ridiculous". I have heard good and bad feedback from the large number of helplines available. Over the years I have found that it is usually the ones who have perfected the "cover" or act impulsively, that often choose the suicide route. I bet that word made people shiver. Should I have used it ? To me the only way to ask about "suicide risk" is to be direct and blunt. Not at all easy but I would say - Ask the question. Well I am now off to an assessment. A young 19 year old who made a serious attempt at the weekend. The aim will be to establish the risk and to try and establish the precipitators. But as Gringo succinctly pointed out - Tell someone - In fact identify somebody close to you NOW and get them to be your "buddy" and make an agreement to act when necessary. As the tears begin to fall again - I wished that you had called out mate - there were so many who would have answered the call.

    Speechless - no amount of words can express the loss

    I would have to say that the Happy Clapper mode has totally outshone the negates but also the realistic. I think that I must have been watching a different game on telly. "Could have beens" are a plenty. What if Hibs were awarded the early penalty claim and Ridgers was dismissed (a mere example of many for both sides). We definitely remained committed to the final whistle and never gave up. The only people to play "attacking football" were Walsh, Rooney and Tremarco. We simply got it horribly wrong tactically. 4-3-3 from the off was disastrous, especially given the players chosen. With Keatings in "no mans land" it was almost a 4-2-4. Trafford and Carson were give too much to cover and that led to their cards. Mckay is NOT a central defender and he and McHattie have not gelled. When you play 3 up front you need pace, width and a hit on the break mentality. In that formation the two pacier wide men can afford to play deeper. Storey and Walsh would have been that combination. I would have played Keatings up front instead of White and added in a third covering midfielder, probably in McGregor. But there again this is all the haverings of an armchair would-be manager. It would be interesting to hear the views of peeps who were actually there. The pundits were being paid to make it sound fantastic ??

    Well I for one am hugely disappointed with that performance. Going 4-3-3 from the off was energy sapping and with no pace up front. That was a real chance to rest White and Doran and fire in Storey and Todorov. The ridiculous early bookings also killed it. I am really not sure what the game plan was. Trafford and Carson also have to learn how not to be "gung-ho". We did deserve the scoreline. Hibs were not that great but we shot ourselves in the foot. The positive was that we gave 100% + until the end.

    WTF was McKay thinking ?
  8. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    We need to learn how to commit niggly 50-50 fouls.
  9. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Wish that I was more confident. We have three players on a red, all with pressing jobs to do. I cant see us ending with 11. Hope that he goes for Storey and McGregor early in the second. Doran and White are ineffective. I really hope that I am wrong but we may be on the wrong end of a second half drubbing.
  10. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Has to be the Alamo as another before half time would kill it.
  11. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Soft penalty - seen them given and otherwise. RIDGERS
  12. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Carson gets a yellow 2 and our pressing pair are really under pressure - and Carson out of semi.
  13. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Trafford gets an early yellow and that puts the pressure on. Another look at the penalty shout and we may well have escaped there.
  14. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Not sure if 4-3-3 is brave or stupid ?
  15. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
  16. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    1-0
  17. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Jhesus - that is the same prices for the Clach v Fort William game ?

    So basically the three people on the panel will never know who the other two were. But there simply has to be a lead - a Chairperson - surely it is their responsibility to ensure that due process is followed. This must be the Scottish version of VAR

    He might have been stocking up for a wee celebration later. Come a long way from the Valley. YOU'LL NEVER BEAT CARL TREMARCO.

    I wonder if there are others who are gutted that they will not be able to attend due to the unfortunate / unavoidable change of schedule. Robbo really doesn't do rotation. I suspect / hope that if Toshney is deemed fit that he may replace MacKay. Doran may well start in the place of Storey. McGregor and Harper would be rotation players to give the likes of Tremarco and Doran days off but the stakes are too high at the moment.

    Good point. Lets all get wrecked at the Rugby Club.
  22. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Of course it's an excuse and attempted face saver. There also will probably be some feckin confidentiality clause. All that is frustrating me is that if someone did not follow the protocol then they should be named and shamed. And there again the actions of one individual should have "rubber stamped" by the SFA itself. I bet the next decision will ALL be out in the open ?
  23. IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
    Surely the three names of the decisionmakers must have been made public ?

    Should also say Testimonial and perhaps the club should be referred to as Club Rugbaidh na Gàidhealtachd ? Has the makings of a magnificent pishh up.
