She's trying to create awareness for depression by telling the story. I thought that was abundantly clear?

Look at who the poster is...another thinly disguised pop at us.

Utmost sympathy for Brett Seymour, shows the depth of his problem if he thought it was possible to drive off the bridge. Not too sure about his wife sharing the details through a Sunday paper and the social media, though.

Can't really judge either way because I and probably most of us don't know the guy or his wife. Depressed or mentally ill people do terrible things which can result in harming themselves and others. Drugs and alcohol play a part often but whether it's a good enough reason for sympathy when they may potentially kill someone whilst driving in that state is debatable and will depend on your point of view and involvement. I don't understand why anyone would want to involve the media on something like this though surely it's a time for friends and family and sorting it out quietly? At best it provokes this sort of debate which I wouldn't think is helpful.

genuine question, was it the depression coursing him to make errors or was his hit and miss form making him depressed?

There's a lot more to this than meets the eye but as my post was taken off last night you keep believing what you want let the insults you will throw at me begin

Brett's wife probably has no experience of this illness before, she's spoke to the press to try and raise awareness. If that helps the couple in the long run only time will tell. But even if it doesn't help, it highlights the problem and if only one person seeks help due to it, it has served it's purpose.
Anybody who takes sleeping pills with Wine and goes out with the intention of killing themselves are suffering from a mental illness in some form.
That night a young woman and 11 month old child were nearly faced with the prospect of losing their Husband/Dad.

I hope he gets all the help he needs, idle speculation is crass and uncalled for.

Who gives a ?

Not me really and not you by the sounds of it

Why bother posting then?

I hope he finds peace.

I for one slaughtered his performance that day and cant help felling a little guilty.

He may never really have achieved at the club, but the contract he got wasnt his fault, and no one on here would have turned it down.
Despite his obvious demons.

I'm glad he was too smashed to make it to the bridge and that his wife and child still have a husband and father.

Didnt work out in an FC shirt but good luck with the rest of your life fella.

Some people posting some vile stuff on here and various other threads, I hope they never suffer the depths of depression that have you considering taking your own life, it's a very dark and lonely place to be, a few halfwhits posting crap online wont make a jot of difference either way. Think on, this could well have been an "RIP" thread, would people be making such observations as they have in those circumstances?

I'm with "Jimmy Carr", I am thankful he never made it to the bridge, as for speaking to the papers, what better way of highlighting the issue and the great work being done by Sporting Chance.

This post should be made a sticky in support of Brett and his family and anyone coming on here posting crap should be banned.

Top post fella and i echo your sentiments.

Hope he gets through it, not a nice thing to suffer from, especially someone in the limelight of RL in this city.

Agree 100%, FTF and his ilk should be gone from RLFans, let alone the FC board.

At least there are some decent rovers fans....

Looked at your picture and smiled !!!!

Some right s post on here, are they related to Mr Nicklas.

His wife is probably trying to get her head around the fact her husband tried to kill himself, she most likely feels guilty (though she shouldn't) that she wasn't aware of the extent of her husbands illness. let's not forget she also needs support, talking about it and getting lot's of support from some of the RL community and outside is helping. Also making people aware of mental illness will be helping her understand what's happened too.

What's your side of it?

We'll never get to the bottom of what's really gone on but suffice to say, people in good mental health don't usually get lashed and roll their cars on a residential street.

Are there any pics of his wife in a state of undress alongside the story? Who can blame them for trying to weedle a few quid out of the sundays anyway? It's not as if he'll ever get a decent playing contract anywhere again

So I should be banned standee this coming from someone who the majority of Hull DC fans can't stand yes there is more to this story than meets the eye not once have I said anything derogatory about Brett Seymour I personally don't agree with his wife selling her story but that's nothing to do with me

You're a vile troll, and you should be banned, the majority of FC fans [ithat you speak to[/i maybe can't stand me, but you know that I would find people who would talk to someone like you fairly pointless anyway.

go and talk about your beloved club, their diamond studded future, their cash rich owners...... I wont hold my breath.

again what makes me a vile troll and whats my club got to do with it anyway i will let you go as you have a match to attend oh wait a minute you dont attend matches do you

your behaviour makes you a vile troll, and wether I attend matches or not is irrelevant, as are you.

why answer then all ive said is there is more to the story why dont you read some of the things said about seymour by your own fans

Did Shaun Gleeson get a mention in the story?

Well that went well.



I'm locking this as it's turned into a mixture of slanging match and crass speculation/innuendo. Some folk need to take a long hard look at themselves.

For the avoidance of doubt, anyone posting any suggestions in future that Seymour may be faking depression or that there is anything to this story other than what is in the public domain will receive a ban. No more warnings.

Pathetic behaviour.
