    Probably an innappropiate time to voice such views but he's entitled to do so none the less and it's a view many people probably share.

    This. He's allowed an opinion, it's just a poorly timed remark.

    He also claimed that Gary Speed would have wanted Shay Given to be upset.

    I genuinely think he might be a psychopath.

    it probably is a selfish act to those not suffering from depression to those that do it's an act of desperation and despair

    I have to say that I'm not particularly outraged, the way he worded it was sensitive and quite correct in my view. I personally feel that this is one of the rare occasions where a minutes silence seems more appropriate than the minutes applause, clapping a man who has just taken his own life (regardless of his contribution to football) feels odd to me, and I do wonder what his family make of it.

    He may very well have a point but there is a time and a place. He's a smart man but his timing is woeful.

    By definition, it's a selfish act. No one can really argue against that. It isn't a selfless act, is it?

    It may not be a sensitive way to say it, and it may be too soon, but his view isn't morally wrong.

    It's kinda like turning up to a mother's funeral, turning to her grieving son and saying, "back at uni I shagged that. Alright, I'd give her a 7/10."

    Barton has gone down a lot in my estimation, not so much for his remark but for his refusal to apologise, even if he didn't mean to offend.

    So have the people that voiced their opinions in the "Is suicide cowardly" went down in peoples estimations, like Barton has or other such things?

    Barton's comment was badly timed, but that is all. Nothing wrong with his view.
