I don't think my writing style has enough random words in block capitals for that to be honest.

I know. I made it up. As I'm enjoying this mini meltdown.

Mcinnes said yesterday he didn't travel to Georgia as 'he has a choice to make'

Not particularly

Quite the emotional rollercoaster on this thread

Really, you should have mentioned it

I've said nothing of the sort but you seem determined to make that conclusion or at least deflect from the points so I'll leave you to it.

What a bizarre response that suggests you don't really want to take on what I said. The very reason I responded was that I felt you had some nuggets of a valid point in amongst your posts and that people were quite dismissive of you unnecessarily. What I was pointing out was that the condescending tone is probably what invited such a response. Quite how you've drawn the conclusion that I was comparing the likelihood of suicide based on your opinion/abuse on a forum I have no idea. I agree with elements of your position, I disagree with the conclusions you draw from them. I agree that entrenching yourself in a victim mindset and concluding there's nothing to do to help yourself will slow, if not stop the recovery process from depression. I agree that every individual needs a bespoke analysis of their own mental health and not just have pills constantly prescribed for them and hope it gets better. You spoke of people being 'cured' through talking - disagree You say depression isn't an illness - disagree You seem to think it's very important that someone suffering knows it's not a 'real' illness - strongly disagree

The volley at Easter road wasn’t a sitter but given he sent Horgan away on the counter attack down the right hand side when attempting a shot at goal, it wasn’t his best effort.

There’s actually things in there that make sense but you seem to then have applied them to your own arbitrary definition of illness. I agree that part of our mental health crisis is the immediate jump to pills than getting to the root of the problem. However the NHS don’t have the resource to do that so they resort to endless prescriptions of anti depressants. My personal experience is that I went through years of pills and therapy and it got me absolutely nowhere. The best thing that happened to me was to realise what was making me so deeply unhappy and to work at those things on a daily basis. I think in terms of treating depression we’d be on a similar page, however my experience is my own only. Where id pick you up is I am not cured, I still get relatively regular bouts of crippling depression, I just have more tools to manage that and get through it. A lot of that is rest, eating well, drinking well, looking after yourself. There’s physical illnesses where that is part of the solution too as opposed to pills yet I doubt you’d be on here claiming they’re not illnesses. If I can wake up in the morning feeling like I want my life to end, I don’t think the fact that I can take steps to alleviate that makes it not an illness. Now it doesn’t really affect me that you don’t believe it to be an illness but at a time where suicide rates are so high I think your views are quite dangerous and symptomatic of why many men don’t end up addressing it. You do have a point but I think it’s articulated quite condescendingly.

This sounds like bullshit. However, well done on your fan.

Why am I such a visionary Sorry M8.

Go on then, have your moment. Just please try and contain the excited child act to the Saints thread as much as possible.

Getting next to no sleep because my house was like a fucking sauna last night, not to mention the neighbours house alarm going at 2am for about half an hour.

I wish I could share some secret. I just stopped and had to put up with a few weeks of slight cravings but after that didn’t really miss it.

Who?

The silver lining to this discussion is the thought of Kincardine catching up with Aberdeen’s travails against Burnley on the rangers thread.

I’ll go back to my original comment. Jesus wept.

"We've gone toe-to-toe with a team that finished seventh in the Premier League with two very competitive games," McInnes told BBC Scotland. "The intensity of both games was probably because of the Scotland/England thing, it was quite remarkable really for this stage of the season. "When I see how quiet and down the players are in the dressing room, they have no right to be that." Are these the quotes that caused you to agree that Mcinnes was beaten before a ball was kicked?

Where he said...

No offence, but I'm going to predict you've based that on almost nothing.

Ok so we played a team that on paper should comfortably beat us, we matched them over 180 minutes and ran out of steam in extra time. Manager says players shouldn't be down on themselves, it was a good effort (I'm paraphrasing given you don't know the quotes), and you think he's just a loser celebrating defeat? Have I summed this up right?

Come on now, you'll need to do better than this. I don't remember said interview so please enlighten me. What did he say that suggested he was 'raging' that we were disappointed to have lost? I mean god forbid the players would be gutted after an energy draining tie such as that. Did he perhaps say that they should be proud of themselves for the performance over 210 minutes? I don't think that's unreasonable. I like how there's no willingness to give credit for the performance itself to Mcinnes but you're quite happy to critique his post match interview and decide he's a loser.

Mcinnes was raging? Are you sure?
