If it's not life threatening and probably nothing at all, how's the lorry?

I don't like Clarke Carlisle one bit.

He's a bit like Sol Campbell, in that because he's black he's always worse off than everyone else. I do not mean that in a racist way, but he thinks he's a victim because of the colour of his skin. For example, the black manager scenario. It's not because of your race, it's because you are not good enough.

That is my opinion only, and don't wish any harm on anyone.

I cannot even comprehend what it must be like to live with depression. All the demons they must face and seeing no other way out, other than to commit suicide.

People are getting all arsey with those who say Carlisle was selfish in what he did. He was selfish. It's sad that anyone can get into that state of mind but that doesn't mean his actions were not selfish.

It is selfish and I don't disagree with that, but Clarke, as well as many with depression wouldn't be able to think rationally.

It's unfortunate that others have to be involved when someone decides to take their own life.

Exactly right.
It's all too easy to judge I know, but for all those saying that he's not selfish how about a thought for his family and friends....and not to mention the poor lorry driver who would have had to live with the fact that he had killed someone for the rest of his life.

I think more of the issue relates to Clarke Carlisle and the manner in which this is now being presented in The Sun, however to be fair to Carlisle I suspect he didn't have much to do with the way the story is being presented - however it appears to be 'victim' story.

I think more relates to the fact that Carlisle is often portrayed as this tortured genius, when actually when you read his history he comes across as something of a self centred objectionable idiot!

Not liking him is fair enough, but it's a shame you can't express it without relating it to his skin colour, and irrelevant comparisons to other black people

In fairness, when the criticism of Carlisle is based on him 'using the race card' it would be difficult not to mention the fact he's black. Comparing him to other ex footballers who have also used the same tactic is also reasonable, imo.

No he always said that black footballers were always hard done by. Yes racism does exist, but not like it used to. For me, he always saw the negative stuff.
