Christian Nade

[A Hi-Bee]

A wee bit surprised that no one else had said anything on this forum about one of our old arch enemies.
For as much as I disliked him playing and scoring against my team it also makes me realise that when I am yelling abuse (like what I used to do) at players I have no idea whats going on between their ears. Pretty much the same with slagging people off in any walk of life. Good luck to the big man in what is a horrible condition for anyone to suffer.

Good on him for speaking out.

[04Sauzee]

Can't imagine what it's like to suffer depression so well done to him for speaking out and good luck

Also if anyone in the forum's feel they need to chat to anyone I'm just a PM away.

[Sir David Gray]

Well done to him for speaking out and if it helps just one person who's considering taking their own life then he's done a good job by going public about his own demons.

It's horrible to think that anyone feels like the only solution is to end their life.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Nade was a pantomime villan. Nothing more. He shut us up by banging the ball in our net. Would never wish depression on anyone. Horrible thing.

just football banter at the end of the day. He gave it back as well. Hope he feels better.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Ah depression.....well that explains his behaviour towards his ex....back handers and threats must be part of the condition

[Chic Murray]

A terrible thing to live with, wishing him well in his recovery.

Seconded

[theonlywayisup]

I recall one game when he fluffed a shot and the East came out with the "Ten men couldnae carry" song.

At the time I thought I bet we'll regret that and a few minutes Nade scores and celebrates in front of the East.

Can't recall which game, but always recall that moment.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a correlation between poor mental health and abusive behaviour. But I still partly agree with you. It seems every man with a history of perpetrating abuse, usually on a woman, is now lining up to play the mental health card as an almost literal get-out-of-jail free move. People are more sympathetic to this than alcoholism.

And all that does, as with the Pilot Wings episode, is stigmatise those who have genuine issues with depression and anxiety.

Depression affects bad people as well.

[jacomo]

Good luck to the big guy.

He was indeed a panto villain for us.

I'm unsure if i've picked you up incorrectly or not so apologies if I have but I would definitely say Nade's issue is genuine when he walked into the the Firth of Forth with the intention of drowning himself, a short while after texting goodbyes to family and friends.

I think you did, but my post was poorly written in the heat of the moment.

I've no doubt of his genuine issues. It's the suggestion that people use such issues as an excuse for bad behaviour that really annoys me. That undermines those, like Nade, who are in crisis, and helps to stigmatise others who might be. That stigmatisation can inhibit people from actually seeking help.

Totally agree.

Some incredible leaps of logic by some on this thread.

"The footballer was accused of attacking his former girlfriend and threatening to kidnap a baby and Nade, who was cleared of all charges last month, said the pressure had pushed him over the edge."

"The striker was diagnosed with depression in June of this year,"

[Famous Fiver]

Get better soon, Christian.

Was he not cleared of this in a court of law?

[judas]

Does this mean I have to think twice in future about calling a player a fat bxxxxd +150 times?

Yep, but truth has little effect on prejudice.

Quite, and neither does a complete lack of any knowledge or professional or lay experience of mental health deter them from making a diagnosis.

No you think in whatever way you wish.

Really hope this is empathy rather than fuddery. So hard to tell.

I think anyone talking about suicide should be taken seriously. Professionals have ways of grading the risk of a successful attempt, but in a discussion like this, we should just accept he meant it.

So often the case.
