juffery 0 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 I honestly don't think I've ever read so much bollocks in my life as I've seen in this thread. Aye, let's just let him off with it, he's a good guy. He'll sort himself out eventually! Bollocks. He'll keep spiralling downwards, he's just out the dock on drink driving charges, left to his own devices, it's just a question of who he takes down with him. He has serious psychiatric and addiction issues and the measure of a society is who it treats those unable to care for themselves. He's not going to get the help he needs if the authorities turn a blind eye. People who are a danger to themselves or others don't tend to seek out help which is why we have the Mental Health Act. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said mate. Gazza might have been a great Rangers player and we might understandably feel emotionally sympathetic towards him but he is still a real person living in the real world. In that respect his actions must be judged against the backcloth of the law and social acceptability. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Gazza is mentally ill and has been for most of his adult life - it's just football provided his solace away from his personal demons - something he now doesn't have and so it's his mental state and alcoholism which dominate his life. He's been given help but refuses to properly embrace it - and continues to spiral downwards as a result. It's sad, but there's little you can do for someone who won't be helped. He could control his problems if only he'd accept professional help. But he won't. And former Ranger or not doesn't change that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
