    I agree. Even though it would make Annie happy, the last thing I want to read is a story about Cousins found dead.

      Don't talk too soon.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

          Well, Benny won't have to face drug charges until January to undergo 90-day rehab.

            All I have said is that I find the unbridled joy displayed by many on here at Cousins' relapse quite disgusting.

            I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to lose a close friend aged only 40, especially if that friend was one of my main supporters during the most tumultuous period of my life.

            Some sympathy here is warranted.

            It reflects very poorly on a person when they celebrate the news another person's life is falling apart, just two weeks after one of their best friends died.

            I don't condone anything Ben Cousins has done, but I can understand why some Eagles fans, especially the young ones, would be more than a bit confused at what's happening.

            As for the Eagles' just cutting him loose, I would say that would be the absolutely worst thing for them to do. Sure he may never play football again, but to be cut him adrift from the club he's been at for his entire adult life would be a devastating blow right now.

            People should temper their anger, and for some their joy, with the fact that the AFL world and WCE as his employer still owe Cousins a duty of care.

            I thought the way the Eagles handled yesterday was most admirable. They might not have many friends on here judging by the blind hatred espoused time and again, but they have some impressive people in charge of the club, and the way they've offered to continue to support Cousins is most commendable.

              All those posts you've quoted merely back up my previous post, and most were in response to people including yourself celebrating the fact he'd relapsed.

              Just because I wasn't popping champagne corks with you doesn't mean I support his actions.

              What is your answer to Sanecow's question?

                You shouldn't be feeling sympathy for him. That's my point.

                As to the cow's question .... yes and no.

                  If you read that post you'll see the sympathy was in relation to Mainwaring's death.

                  You have no sympathy for someone who loses a friend and/or father-figure, who just happens to be one of the people who helped get Cousins into rehab earlier in the year?

                    No, not really.

                          whatever.

                          I fully admitted that the only person I've put down here was ben cousins.
                          I haven't called anyone an idiot (or agreed with anyone who called someone an idiot).
                          I don't need to resort to personal attacks (like some of the people on this board).
