@Matth_2014 - Sorry to read about your Grandad, I concur with what everybody else is advising you, I know it's awful but just try and spend as much time as you can with him x
Im guilty more than anyone for being a kunt. I love banter and if anyone met me theyd realise its light hearted . Its threads like this that make us all come out our shell and be human. We all have loved ones and to lose or be close to losing one is devastating beyond belief. Thats why this forum has its upsides besides its downsides because its a place to vent. This time last year i was going through a divorce on top of losing my grandad and seeing my boys less and it nearly ended me. 99% of us are all decent lads but lads love craic and that what makes a forum
Well this is some cheery **** to stumble upon first thing Monday morning. Tbh I'd probably rather have the cancer than read this thread again. Blessed relief it would be.
I would think the societal norm of being told that someone you don't know, have never met and are never likely to meet equally obscure relative has cancer would be indifference. It certainly wouldn't be faux distress bordering on hysteria that is on display in this thread. Nice meme though. Did you make it up yourself?
I see no hysteria. Only guys showing their concern and offering condolences to somebody who’s life has been affected by this vile disease. And no, you don’t want it. You really don’t!
I would think the people in here who's lives have not been affected by cancer are few and far between. I know mine has. Will I burden you with the details? No I fùcking won't. And nor should Math be. Do you think he discussed plastering personal medical detail all over a shìte football forum with his dear old grandad before he did it. Do you thing Gramps would be wanting his details plastered over this forum? I very much doubt it. So sorry if I seem a wee bit callous but in my opinion stuff like this should be kept to ones self and not posted all over social media in a pathetic attempt to garner sympathy from total strangers. Is that the societal norm? Perhaps it is these days.
People are different. Some when faced by trauma clam up, keep it all inside and try to process it internally. Others will reach out for support, just have to let the hurt out and express it. If I thought anybody here was insincere, just digging for sympathy, I’d tell em to **** right off. But knowing most of these guys, as well you can do from a public forum, I don’t sense that.
Well thats fair enough but as i said i don't know Math nor his Grandpappy so I won't feign concern for his plight. If Math wants to lay his and his Grandads life bare on social media then he, and you and anybody else can't expect everybody to react to it in the same manner. As you say, people are different.
Inconsiderate, moi? Did you consider your Granpa's feelings when you plastered his private medical condition all over social media? Did you consider the feelings of those who have had to live through the hell of one of their loved ones having to go through the horrible disease that is cancer? Did you ****. You only thought about yourself you mopey cùnt and how you could garner the maximum sympathy from your relative's misfortune. Shameful behaviour imho.
Why do you feel the need to comment on this thread then ? If you don't like it , can you not just ignore it ?
You kinda have a point....... But you probably should have just ignored the thread to be honest, rather than kicking off.
