The inquest on Dale Roberts, the R&D goalkeeper who committed suicide was held this week.

Not many of those concerned come out smelling of roses, especially the R&D management. Sad that a young lad should end that way.

Certainly they weren't heeded by Mr Edinburgh were they? If I was playing for his team and had any problems, I'd make sure I found somebody else to talk to!

i dont see why justin edinburgh is a girl private, he wouldnt have known Dale Roberts was sucidal, all he did was bollock an employee for repeatedly not turning up to work. it might have ended tragically, but that doesnt mean he should be blamed.


im fairly certain if a town player didnt turn up to training because he was depressed their would be a thread 20pages long demanding that the player in question had the book thrown at him.

just a thought

The saddest thing is that the newspaper obviously doesnt think his loss of life is spectacular enough and has to relate everything to "higher profile" people.
If anything the club doctor should be scrutinised to see what follow up work he did once he prescribed the anti depressants.
