football
Andrew, (youngest son) who once went to a game between Celtic and Rangers, in Glasgow I think, said "Dad, there are far more fanatic than we are about our football". But some are fanatic here and its tradgic. While sports often show great skill and endurance, so many people put so much mentally into their supporting and get so much out of it. And people indentify themselves with their football teams, as in, 'We beat Carlton on Saturday'. I enjoy a lot of sports, and St. Johns allows me to get up close at times and to speak to players, parents or officials.
Those people who know things about suicide, (the ambulance people in St. Johns tell off the record), that the day after the Grand Final, is a peak day for suicides, and that very few happen at the Casino, but a good number happen with the person on the way home. This week in one of the newspapers it was told that a suicide linked to gambling happens one in every three weeks in this State, plus many other suicides for other reasons.
Well we shouldn't let things get us down, I'll enjoy the Grand Final today, and like last year Geoff can tell Dave that Melbourne will play in next year's Grand Final. Its all part of the fun.
blessings from Gary
