Love JJ, we'd be in a far worse state if he hadn't been around the last 3 years.! Lovely gesture from him, he's one of the few that still makes Charlton a special club.
Yes indeed one of the very few players who care so much for our football club and yes somehow we must keep him on in some capacity. However, another class act Kinsella has been a coach at CAFC and it did not work for him. Agree JJ is a very much a class act indeed and what a gesture.
Folks just be thankful for what you have and indeed do not have and try to enjoy and appreciate life every day. Also to do the best for all our Families and Special friends. Yes we have strong disagreements and opinions and not just Charlton matters, but in real life too and often people keep quiet about the personal problems they face and some keep it with their close Family. Fair dues in someone explaining what they have been going through and yes very much have to pinch themselves several times.
Those who have had strong disagreements about CAFC and let's face it, even in our Premiership days there were lots of strong opinions and yes the passion sometimes comes out too strongly and people take it personally and feel insulted. However, when one sends Jacquie Lawson cards and notes and absolutely no acknowlegement is made and I know a few people who have stated the truth, yet get blocked on postings and do not tell me that all of us have made mistakes and possibly told it is insulting, but frankly I know of people who have had no acknowledgements cards or otherwise and that is insulting too.
I want to wish everyone a Very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year and yes this includes everyone and please unblock peoples views and stick just to CAFC matters only ok. Yes some people are man enough to apologise and still not acknowledged and people state "burnt your bridges'!!!!

Read Kyles blog and it must be such a struggle for him. Really hope he beats his demons. As for JJ just a class human being, we are lucky to have him at our club.
No idea why it is in pale. The eh was because I could not work what point you were trying to make
No problem and there has been issues and yes I absolutely agree with you. Yes JJ is the only proper legend at CAFC the last 10 years. I have absolutely no issues with you ok, but read what I said and the issues are with certain individuals on other sites blocking genuine and true postings.
I almost responded, but worried about how my response would be taken.
A few years ago now, my Granddaughter was diagnosed with a life shortening genetic disorder. She is severely disabled, and will not see her 10th birthday. As my daughter suffers from bipolar disorder, thus has hit us all very hard. I then was diagnosed as suffering from depression, and was medicated for over 2 years. It was a hard fight, but I have shaken off a lot, but not all of my demons.
I have put this all down, not for sympathy, but to show that I have some, and only some idea of what Kyle is going through.
One thing that it took a while for me to realise, is that you cannot let things that you have no control of, get into your head. When a football team plays, irrespective of owners, players, managers so many things can happen that no-one can do anything about. One bad decision, and a perfectly good goal can be disallowed. Another bad decision, and an offside goal can be given.
So, I have taken a step back from football. I go to watch a game. I don't get too high if we win, don't get too down when we lose. I concentrate my efforts on things that I can influence. Making sure my Granddaughter has as happy a life as possible, being there for my daughter when she needs me etc.
I can only suggest that Kyle makes the same decisions that I made. Concentrate on what he can influence. Make sure he gets his health sorted out. Let the rest of the world, that he cannot influence, sort itself out...

Some bloke that wrote a blog on Mental Health and his struggles with that and Epilepsy, certainly getting some brilliant responses from the media world.
