Jonathan Trott

Yeh ok, same with people suffering from cancer, heart attacks, strokes etc. They should just pull themselves together and carrying on working as that's the most important thing when you're ill, silly me.

 

So the old 'you don't know about mental illness blah blah blah' - what do you have to say now regards Mr Trott?

 

I think you have issues.

 

Today's tevelations do not change the opinions expressed in this thread, everyone posted based on the facts known at the time and most apart from your own were correct imo. Coming on to say 'I told you so' seems a little childish to me

 

I never mocked anyone with a 'mental illness' - I was merely pointing out that Trott was a bottle job and not a sick man

 

Because you knew that on the facts presented? Well aren't we lucky so and so's you pointed it out

 

It was obvious that he left the tour because he was struggling with his game and not through mental illness - my diagnosis was correct and the bottle job should never play for England again

 

Yes obvious all the way from your armchair. Well done

 

Settee actually popeye red

 

Bit like all those soldiers who left the "Tour of the Somme" after the first test because they were struggling with their game. Maybe you agree with those in charge of things then that decided the only way to deal with them was to put them up against a post and shoot them.

I don't think anyone can ever know what is in someone else's mind - not even clever dick psychiatrists, and certainly not you! Extreme punishment, whatever that might be, is not the answer. There is one exception to that rule though - these people who commit atrocious crimes against other people, get caught doing it and then play the mental illness card.
