ATHENS, Oct 29 (Reuters) - A Greek soccer player committed suicide after being left out of the squad for a
domestic cup game with Olympiakos Piraeus, police said on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old, Yiannis Koskiniatis, jumped off a 12-metre cliff after being omitted from third division Diagoras Rhodes’s squad to face the national champions in a fourth round match.

Police said the midfielder had left a note at the top of the cliff that read: “Being left out of the squad was a great injustice. I cannot take it any more.”

Koskiniatis had played 61 times for Diagoras, scoring four goals, but was sidelined all season following an operation on his injured left leg. Local media reported that the club had sent him for psychological help.

He went missing around midday when his team mates met for their pre-match lunch. His motorbike was found at about 1700 local time in the Profitis Ilias area just outside Rhodes town.

The news was relayed to the Diagoras players during a brief delay in the match, which they lost 3-2.

While i feel for this guy,this one is scarey and not hard to understand,if you all notice the way some people play and support this game you will swere they are nuts,can you imagine being the Coach or Technical director of the team this guy was left off,this just added another dimention to the game,i'm sure he is feeling like he is responsible for the death of that guy,i wonder who is the next player he leaving of the team,i guess they will have to evaluate that guy before he do so,this is what nice about this game it never have a dull day.RIP Breds.

Well de unusual fuh me in these last few weeks, ah happen to be on de forum 2 consecutive days. Nice dat is cool. Me eh see nothing tuh make me even think about committing suicide in dis life nah, ah really mean dat, nothing, nothing, nothing. Ah mean what kind ah up bringing a human being cud have dat he cud want to take a precious thing, as his own life. As much as ah love and respect meh wife, not even she cud make me entertain dat thought, worst yet not being selected for a national team. Even if ah loose meh house, job and vehicles, ah might cry like ah baby, but is as far as it goes. Cuz de way dat I was brought by my christian parents, whom are Pentecostals (bless their hearts) and learning the streets as an adult, dat will never be in my thoughts. Well so sad for that player, I guess to each his own. Well Andre, ah doh know how long yuh have dat avatar dey, but ah just obserevd, cuz as yuh know ah doh be here these days, as de breddah here does say "Ah love it". Dis rush thing ah doing on de forum, hurry tuh post and get off, after ah come back and check meh post ah noticing a lot damn mistakes dat ah have to correct, steupsss. HIGHLY BLESSED.

come on man shotta..yuh smarter than that. This isn't much different from those brazilians that jump off off buildings,crash their cars into buildings,start riots when brazil/team they support lose world cup/cup finals. To some people it's not just a game.It's life

Maybe de man was on a 'pay when you play' salary/contract and that game meant extra money to take care of the man family etc. I not talking down to you but really this story is not no skin thing(my opinion)
