I don't get the big secret with it though mate (from whoever told you), he was a regular of this forum, so why not be straight up about it, much like Comms own style in life. Everyone knows his real name from the charity thing he done, so it wasn't as though he tried to stay anonymous, he often posted pictures up of himself. It wouldn't have been like a request to keep it lowkey as was the case with a previous past member (until they are gone). I'm stunned if this is true, all I can think of is his daughter, he worked and lived for her. Sorry, I'm just not understanding things at the moment, it's not my place to do so, so I'll just shut up. RIP Big Man
Very sad news . You could argue with him and he was straight to the point but still talk to him a few days after . I'm surprised as he always came across as strong willed . RIP
Nah he was alright. It's unusual I know that someone you've never met can have that effect from only knowing them on an internet forum. Like I said I was hoping he'd return on here one day.
I had like everyone else had a few blow outs with him but still like you say got on with it and was all water under the bridge quickly and we moved on sadly everyone has a demon in them and if it’s not kept in check it can fester……for most talking is the best solution not matter if it’s friend or foe goodnight big guy
He was alright, the straight talking stuff was a bit exaggerated but it's a pity he was in that place mind wise. All the go "kill yourself" to Matth was a bit of a cry for help maybe. Hope he's in a better place.
Never seemed a happy camper. Recall him mostly just saying whatever he could to dig into people, mentioning how much his job was killing him and the difficulty seeing his daughter. I only came on this board near the end of his time on it. So it's not so surprising I saw mostly that side of him. Hope he finds a bit of peace.
PTSD mate. From what I can gather it came calling early in the year and when it hit, it hit hard. He reached out for help but it seems it was all too little, too late. For the people doubting me. Believe me, I’d love nothing more than Comm to come on now and call me the biggest **** in the world and tell me that I heard wrong and it was all one big mistake. Even if he meant every word and never spoke to me again. Sadly that won’t happen, though.
Waiting times from hell certainly won't help with the too little too late part In far too much demand and not nearly enough professionals about
Horrible news - certainly had a few ups and downs with Comm but really liked him and it left a noticeable hole on here when he stopped contributing...
Genuinely very sad to hear this. Although like everyone we had our disagreements I always enjoyed chatting with Comm going back years to the Sunderland board back in the day© Always tragic when someone decides to end their own life and it happens far too often sadly, especially with men. Really feel for his loved ones and daughter especially. Huge character who was a big part of making this place what it was and the forum was a poorer place with his absence. Lost far too many of those in recent years.
Really sad to hear Comm gone. He provided some good beef, he generally said what he thought and he provided loads of talking points whether for good or bad. Laters big man
I'll be straight up and tell you, because none of it makes any sense to me. Sucky bumps an old Comm thread that he claimed he'd done randomly from notifications on his phone, well I've never had a thread come up that old randomly. Next you pop up and say he's dead, from someone on FB. Well Comm told me he'd deleted all his social media, except this one and chatting to his daughter, which might have been via Facebook. Comm was a workaholic and had plans to see his daughter, hence his disappearance I assumed, oh and the fact he didn't like the smack rat, as he called him, Sucky (hence why he kept off here). It makes no sense after not being around for a year or two that we are now being told he's topped himself. If something tends to make no sense to me, I don't believe it. Even more why would someone want it lowkey, it's not adding up, and if as Spurly said the person he spoke to said you are a dickhead for bringing it up, why would they say that? and why would you break confidence to do so, if someone really didn't want us to know... Like I say, if something don't seem right I tend to question it, you would do exactly the same as me and ask questions. You may see that as doubting you, but for me it's challenging my understanding on something I care about.
If he did serve in combat and some of his mates were killed or maimed that can destroy you First reaction Thank god I made it through that Second reaction I wish my mates had all made it through that Third reaction and the most dangerous if not dealt with I wish my mates had made it instead of me
Regarding the thread bump. Phone was in pocket and when I took it out it was on this thread so I just posted. Thats all bro I don't think Saf would lie about comm either but what do i know lol
