Andre Nel attempts suicide

Why should we ***** foot around the real issue once a touchy subject has been exposed ? Seriously, if people think the guy is a ****, why shouldn't they say so just because this has come out ? It's like all the people chasing hearses of famous people they bagged out when they were alive
Making slights on a person in a suicide thread is a bit of a dog act IMO.

Some real classy stuff in this thread.
I think it would be pretty boring if it ended up being 5 pages of get well soon support.

nothing wrong with having the opinion that it's gutless of someone to end their life with a baby on the way or having extra marital affairs.

And ? It still happened did it not ?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, unfortunately, no matter how controversial that may be. Moderating the opinion does not get rid of it, it just hides it. Like Apartheid, It still happened even though most of the world didn't see it.

Hope Nel gets okay. Poor lady too, what a completely horrible situation for her. Hope she and unborn baby are okay.

This..

I personally have sympathy for him, and hope he gets all the support he needs.. But I hope in the cold light of day when he recovers from whatever mind**** he has been through, he has a serious think about what he's just done..

I suppose so but in threads like this the line is drawn much closer than usual and you have to be careful not to cross it which IMO lockton's post does.

Feel free to go voice your opinion anywhere else you like - but if there are anymore unsavoury comments in this thread/forum, I'm going to delete them.

Forums aren't democracies mate. It's the mods' way or the highway.

Clearly missed the point. I forgot the suppression rule in East Germany was still all the rage

His behaviour always seemed disorderly and wild. Made for an entertaining fast bowler.

Sad. Hope for the sake of the baby he sorts himself out.

Honestly theres nothing more boring then a bunch of couch critics sitting at home passing judgement on a bloke who is clearly in a lot of trouble. I like Langers comment in particular he has a serious think about what he's just done... Yeah, as if he should sit back with a cup of coffee, look back and say, hmm that really wasnt the right thing to do.

Well as long as it's not a cup of irish coffee, I'd say that would still be a good idea..
