chubbs Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just seen this article in the Daily Record online ... apparently four SPFL players have contemplated suicide in the last 10days due to the worry caused by Covid-19. Not an effect I ever thought it would have to be honest.... hopefully they can all talk through their issues and emerge out the other side..

skygod Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Players who would otherwise have been certs to get a new contract in the summer - you can think of some of our players - will now be faced with the prospect of an uncertain future. Which is the same for many people in the wider community, especially the self-employed. It’s a much bigger problem than just football, unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plunkit Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Mental health is a massive issue at anytime and in all walks of life. With so much uncertainty around I am certain that it is not just footballers who have such dark thoughts.

Wee_Eck1979 Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I don't know if Gary Dicker got home or not but if he is stuck here he must be demented. Separated from his family throughout this must be tough. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoydsFace Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I am one of the most chilled out people around (to the point it infuriates family with my don’t worry about it attitude) and I’ve found myself very wound up the last few days with the whole thing. For anyone who normally worries or has anxiety I can only imagine how this is all impacting them. If anyone on here feels that things are becoming a bit too much for them and would like a Killie/football related chat to take their mind off it (or any chat) please drop a PM. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfc_superteam Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I think everyone is feeling it. Worrying about your health and more importantly the health of your family weighed up with the worry about your finances and job. All sectors affected in some way and the longer it goes on the worse it will get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 'social distancing' it doesn't really matter where you are... plus I think his wife/girlfriend moved up here when he transferred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJout Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Lots of help out there for anyone needing it thankfully. The PFA Scotland are over this and offer player support. Players shouldnt expect much help from the clubs unfortunately. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
