The difference between an "ordinary worker" and a perm footballer is without all the private facts being made public we would all demand to know why the footballer was absent . We have had a few players recently missing for all sorts of family reasons and all obviously acted on here - but as an anniversary (which is what it is isn't it) maybe the club had lost touch with things and support just wasn't offered meaning JL may have felt obliged to carry on

you did not answer my question directly, however going by your last answer to me you are right it is none of my business and I am very sorry for your loss. we are all different and handle things in our own way, some people need more help than others and grief can do strange things to a persons mind and thought process, as I am sure you are aware. Again sorry you had that pain in your life

Sorry I was abrupt too and I appreciate a lot of the comments on here are speculation mine included.
 
I'm amazed at some of the responses on here and it shows a real lack of understanding regards to mental health.

I met Jake before his tragic loss and can honestly say he was one of the nicest guys (not just footballers) I have met - He took genuine time to talk to my son who came away amazed that a Pro footballer was interested in who he played for etc.

I hope that Jake can come to terms with himself and that he can move forwards. As anyone who has suffered depression knows, you are never "Cured", it can always be like a dark cloud on the horizon.

Losing a child is devastating, thank God we are, by and large, human beings and we all react differently; those unravelling this sorry story will, hopefully, add compassion into their judgment.
I think reaction would be fearful if it was found out he was a previous user and this was a poorly found excuse.
There cannot be a timescale imposed, but there should also be a reasonable expectation of closure.

Nice post but it's speculation again, nobody knows if he is a life long depressive
 
My mother lost a young child (before i was born) who would have been my sister, it took her many many years to get over it and she was quite a strong character.

£6k to Huddlestones cancer charity after kicking the camera at WBA was more than decent!

That's right, it's the manager fault if a player can't take responsibility for his own actions and grief like a grown man should., great logic there.I'm more pissed off having spent a fortune watching a unprofessional player all season help get us relegated. Everybody has to cope with grief and loss, taking cocaine as a professional sportsman is idiotic

Pretty sure I was critical of Bruce's comments condemning Livermore.. read my posts more carefully before being so eager to criticise me.
 
You live and learn, it's too easy to jump to conclusions without having facts to hand, and we are all guilty of it at times. I got on my high horse yesterday for the reason that I was disappointed with how the football turned out last season and it's easy to blame certain individuals like Livermore. At the end of the day it's only a game and I wouldn't want to see somebodies life ruined even if they have made some mistakes which affect everybody who supports Hull City, so fingers crossed Jake gets the help he needs
