Yardy flies home with depression

lol.. pretty obvious he was commenting on his merits as a cricketer and didn't understand he was out due to depression initially and then when he had more time to understand the situation, came across a lot more sympathetic.
How is saying 'I was a brilliant batsman and never got dropped, so I don't know what Yardy's going through' being sympathetic?

Was that Ronny Irani?

Wow. I used to dislike him but I totally respect him for what he said then!

Yeah that's made me quite angry.

Hopefully eventually old ****s like that will die off.

Talksport is embarassingly awful.
What would you know, you're just a woman, Keys and Gray taught me that :p

He's normally one of the worst broadcasters known to man, but yeah he did well there. A lot of talk that Brazil was pished here, his alcholism often rears it's head on Talk****e, quite often a mask for depression, ironically.

Sorry Ronnie I take it all back - I'll edit my review of your book as soon as James will let me - as for Brazil - just give him a drink or three and eventually he shut's up - the man is a dinosaur

Terrible stuff on the clip. Top stuff from Ronnie Irani though, good on him for standing up and calling bull**** though, good effort.

Haha. "Let me be honest, I don't understand depression...[but I'm going to talk **** about it anyway]". Typical radio fare though, no point getting worked up about it.

Shepherd & Brazil are such a pair of ****s. Equating depression with materialistic possessions. "Roll your sleeves up and get on with it" FFS.

Both sounded arseholed too.

Kudos to Irani.

Brazil was definitely drunk.

Hardly unsurprising he's an alcoholic though, given how his boyhood dream of playing for Celtic was ruined.

I know it's not a laughing matter but....

:laugh:
I thought I'd give the moderators a fair chance to delete this before responding but for some reason they've chosen to leave it up.

Well, it's one of the most cretinous posts I've ever seen on CW. Ever suffered from a really horrible disease? Any friends or family members of yours ever done so? Think it's a big joke? Pretty despicable really. Bottom-of-the barrel posting.

Where in my post do I say depression is a big joke?
Where exactly did I mock Yardy for having depression?
Depression is a horrible illness, and it's sad that Yardy suffers from it.

Cretinous? I didn't know one simple smiley on the interwebs could have so much meaning.

You obviously didn't have a problem with this
I'm pretty sure that myself and KiWiNiNjA are not the only people who think that they would depressed if they played Cricket like Yardy.

But in all seriousness hopefully he makes a quick recovery.
And yes, I actually do know how horrible an illness depression is. First hand, in fact.

Well why did you laugh, you've not made any good reason for your original laughter. **** me why defend it, just apologize. This is why Berners-Lee doesn't deserve through in the battle of the brits, the internet is ****ing ****.

People just losing all moral compass, in the it's only the internets, surefire argument.

Cause for concern this for England can see it opening old wounds and bringing back memories of what happened with Trescothick, it finished his International career
