Ah, its just the way people are saying its "understandable" his form has suffered since this incident. Hard luck on that lad sure but its not as if his son was 5, 6, 11 or 12 is it? How many women do we know that have suffered stillbirths? When people say "since his son died", it sounds totally different to what was actually the case.

Jesus Christ, there's blokes that have had numerous such incidents but had to get up and go down coalmines, up scaffolding, the back of bin trucks etc the next day, in order to keep a roof over the head of his wife and other children. Not too sure it was viewed as such a tragedy in those circumstances, rather a nasty inconvenience of child mortality.

I'm sure the man in question had ample room for recovery with his weekly 18 Grand softening the blow.

Have you ever lost a child Swords, whatever age ?
My Mrs had an early stage miscarriage and trust me fella, whatever the age it DOES effect you, a lot more than you might think. I had tears, anger and blamed myself for what I could and should of done. And I never even got to see the baby (or collection if cells if you want to be a heartless c***).
What he must of went through was far, far worse and I respect him for it.

If you wanted a bite then you got one from me !!

If you truly believe that any amount of money would soften the blow of losing a baby that tells us all we need to know about your values.

Yes, I do believe it would soften the blow somewhat. Try telling that to someone on the breadline who's suffered such a loss and hasn't time to worry about it, let alone mourn, because they need to think of how they're going to get the bare essentials of survival for their family the next day and the next day after that and the next day after that etc. Let the person in question book his exotic holidays, counselling, maybe a page 3 girl or two and whatever other creature comforts he wants to help him come to terms with something that happens ordinary people on a daily basis.

No more than Clarke Carlisle and his incessant whimpering, I find it very difficult, no - impossible, to muster up any kind of sympathy for modern professional footballers.

They're living in a different World entirely mate.
 
They may be in a different world but loss and grief won't be any less for it. Compassion and humanity apply to both worlds.

Swords.......you truly are a twisted, sad individual.
 
I lost a grandson who was stillborn and believe me it takes many years to come to terms with losing a perfectly formed and beautiful young human being, Swords you can be as crass as you likno amount of money can ease the pain and if you think it does your a bigger moron than i thought you were

I've appendaged two words to your second sentence Matt.

And therein lies my whole point; It doesn't.

I'm not sure I need you to re-write my posts to suit yourself thanks.

So money automatically means that you lose humanity and stop caring?

If you put a price of 18k per week on losing an infant then what price would mean that losing your whole family is softened by cash? 100k per week? 300k?

Not that you'd take that because you'd be selling your humanity anyway right?

Me, I care but clearly not half as much as someone with twice my overdraft.... Obviously.
