Exactly, he did'nt get paid for nothing. Obviously it was bad what happened, but JE wasn't gunna be soft on himEveryweeker wrote:You can make a judgement on JE based on that alone surely?

Re: Dale Roberts Inquest
I'm sure there are many many times JE put an arm around Dale and tried to help him out. Man management is all about sometimes giving out tough love and other times taking a softer approach... Justin definitely had his best interests at heart.

Re: Dale Roberts Inquest
When I was a young man I was just settling into a (serious) relationship, my absolutely best friend that I have ever had was going through hell at the time when his bitch of a wife left him and took their children away with her. I KNEW what he was going through (and later in life had the same happen to me) yet he gave NO indication that he was in any way suicidal. We went out as usual to our local one night and again as usual said goodnight after the walk home. On his doorstep I said "see ya later" he replied "perhaps". I have gone over that word for over 20 years feeling guilty as that was the very last thing he said to anybody before going to Elstow lakes and putting a pipe into his car.
I cried for weeks afterwards and still think about that nights conversation on the way home trying to find out if I could have done/said anything to help him, as I know I would give my right arm to still have him around me.
All I am saying is don't blame JE as I am sure he will be having thoughts about how he may have dealt with things differently.

You're knocked out with who I am,
Look at you now, you're all in my hands.

Re: Dale Roberts Inquest
I agree and there may be other people, who will have been better qualified and experienced in counselling matters than Justin, and who were involved behind the scenes at RDFC at the time, who I feel will be having similar thoughts after the recent inquest.rudolph_hucker wrote:

Re: Dale Roberts Inquest
If we could see suicides coming, there would be no suicides. To lay any blame at the door of JE is ill thought out.
I've reported on too many suicides in only 9 months in my job, no one has ever been able to say they saw it coming.

Re: Dale Roberts Inquest
You have absolutely no reason to feel any guilt. No one can know what's going on in another persons head, even closest friends and family.TheIncognitoKid wrote:and you should'nt blame yourself sirrudolph_hucker wrote:When I was a young man I was just settling into a (serious) relationship, my absolutely best friend that I have ever had was going through hell at the time when his bitch of a wife left him and took their children away with her.
