Clarke Carlisle

[Aikiwolf]

News filtering through on Twitter that he has been hit by a lorry and is in hospital fighting for his life

Thoughts with him and his family. We all remember Wigan away and what a good sport he was.

 

[Carrotdude]

That's horrible. Hit by a lorry though? Suicide attempt? Either way hope he pulls through

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Jesus, hope he's ok. I really like him, think he's an articulate intelligent guy who actually gives a shit and his work for the PFA and helping players cope with depression is commendable.

 

[andyc225]

On the couple of occasions I've met him he's come across as a really nice bloke. My thoughts are with him and his family.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Injuries aren't life threatening, which is good to hear.

 

[Alan]

This resulted from a different accident than the one in Glasgow, I assume? Weird day in the UK.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Yeah, Yorkshires not in Scotland.

 

[Alan]

Bizarre. Thoughts out to him and his.

 

[Del Woppio]

He must have been in a terrible state to want to do this, such a shame. Feel desperately sorry for the lorry driver, too.

 

[Tony Towner]

Where does it say it was anything other than an accident?

 

[Del Woppio]

It doesn't. It was a stretch of road with no pedestrian access. You've either got to walk a long way to get to it for no discernable reason, or jump off the bridge.

 

[Tony Towner]

Oh, thanks. Poor bloke

 

[Norman Deeley]

He must have been in a terrible state to want to do this, such a shame. Feel desperately sorry for the lorry driver, too.

+1 Let's hope the world of football thinks about the lorry driver in the same way cricket supported Sean Abbott

 

[The Bear]

"Burnley said there would be a show of support for Carlisle with a minute's applause in the fifth minute of their Boxing Day game with Liverpool."


For the love of God why????

 

[Alan]

Why not? Seems reasonable to me.

Having been suicidal (I know, I know, I air all my dirty laundry on this forum), I know from experience that such an outpouring of support can make a massive difference in the affected's mindset.

 

[SSB]

Worrying to hear he is missing.

[Tony Towner]

He's been found, thank god. His wife is 6 months pregnant but our press have seen fit to doorstep her house all day

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That is distasteful

Clearly Clarke is still struggling with his inner demons, and he and his family need support and care, and not microphones and dictaphones shoved in their faces.

 

[Tony Towner]

I can't express in words how I feel about people whose desire is to hope someone commits suicide so that they can get a 'money shot'.
