nufcmichael Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Desease or not, there's really no excuse for drink driving. Him being an alcoholic is his own problem, but when he's drink driving he's putting other peoples lives in danger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 When is this man going to stop hiding behind alcohol and getting wasted, and face life head on? Embarrassing. Should take a leaf out of Merson's book, as he seems to be doing really well now. He doesn't want to help himself. He is a flawed character anyways, I can't see him ever beating this addiction. People try to help him, Paul Ince has offered him work at MK Dons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I think Gazza would have been an alcoholic whether he had been a footballer or not. Drink driving is stupid, but alcoholics will do stupid things when they are drunk. Hell look at what people who think they haven't got an acohol problem do each weekend. Gazza will only sort himself out when he wants to, and I don't think he willl ever get the help he needs because he won't accept his alcoholism.

Rob W Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 if you go back far enough he's never "faced life" - he's always been "a bit of a lad" - you see a few of them on Tyneside - they're "daft as a brush", no real malice, but really aren't functional - Terry Collier types I'm afraid he'll be dead sooner rather than later - a great shame but there is no evidence he is able or wants to change his liefstyle lets just hope he doesn't damage anyone else as he goes..

BlueStar Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Breaking news on the BBC News channel about an accident on Newcastle Quayside involving an Astra leaving the road and colliding with a signpost, Northumbria Police not able to deny that Gazza was in one of the cars involved. EDIT: Now saying that a friend of the family has confirmed he was involved in the accident and is currently in hospital, although not thought to be badly hurt.

BlueStar Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 36 year old woman arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, although that might have just been Gazza in drag, who knows. I blame the driver of the lamppost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Monkey Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 He is, and always has been, an utter knob. When he does himself in, no-one who's ever met him or seen the way he goes on will aprticularly shed a tear. Very good footballer, shit person. Meh.

This has been said several times, and I'm sure looking back over the thread you'll see the split between those who feel sorry for him and those who say very strong things against him. The guys an alcoholic so it depends on what state you meet as to what Gazza you'd actually meet. I just feel sorry for him, and get the impression over the last few months he's probably tried to end it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Sad that such a great talent could end up like he has. That said, hard to have massive amounts of sympathy for him. He's been given a gift that many of us would kill for, and millions of people face vastly more difficult challenges in their lives and deal with them without drinking themselves into the miserable state he currently seems to be in.

Wasn't a great deal wrong with his mind before he started drinking the living bejesus out of it as far as I could see. Obviously I feel sympathy for him as I would any person who has it rough in life, but I find the whole notion of people having demons that force them into their stupid decisions to be kind of ridiculous.

Guest johnson293 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 There's just been a piece on GMTV this mornign about Gazza and his latest 'troubles'. They talked about his career and had a list of the clubs he'd played for - funny that, I didn't know his career began at Spurs in 1988, as that was listed as his first club, with Newcastle not on the list!!
