Would we saying the same if Gazza had been a mackem and played for Sunderland all of his career? I doubt it.

Gazza's personal life has nothing to do with his ability as a footballer, and really, I think they should be separated, and we have no right to talk about what is obviously a serious psychiatric disorder. He has obviously resorted to extremes in his attempts to cope with his disorder.

He is not the only one to press the self destruct button due to chemicals.

I don't see any remarks about a Sunderland player, a similar personality, not as extreme, but still as self-destructive - and dead because of his dependencies.

I had the pleasure of watching him in my youth:- In 98 games over two and a half years at Sunderland he became known for drinking himself unconscious the night before a match.

He drank to excess, and at one point was said to be consuming three bottles of Bacardi a day

After retiring from football he became manager of a pub, and his continued heavy drinking damaged his liver so badly that he needed two transplants at the age of 55, after which he swore off alcohol. He was also addicted to gambling, and is estimated to have lost between £250,000 and £500,000 a fortune in the 1960's. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2001.

ANOTHER TOTAL WASTE OF LIFE. R.I.P Jim Baxter.

How many women did Jim Baxter beat up? You've no leg to stand on so fuck off.

Psychiatric disorder? Honest to fuck Alcoholism isn't a psychiatric disorder. Its an insult to put the two names in the same sentence.
 
Is that a guess or are you a qualified psychiatrist?

It's all documented in his book "Gazza: My Story". He published a follow-up book and in it, he detailed undergoing therapy for bipolar disorder, which is ongoing apparently.

Regardless of how much people hate the mags, I wish they would resist the blind prejudice. It would give their other comments a lot more credibility.

Alcoholism is a by product of Bipolar disorder. It's called self medication to try and deal with the disorder itself.

Try walking a few miles in the other mans moccasins...........

How old are you - 15?

Anyone who condones Gazza, or thinks he in anyway is a legend, IS A C.U.N.T.

You brain is a C.U.N.T.

And whoever raised you is a C.U.N.T.

This man is a horrible scummy fucker who, lets take away a any talent for football, should still be in jail.

You need anger management classes.

If he had Bi-polar disorder and was (due to this) a risk to society he would still be sectioned. I believe this might be a billy bullshit story which you are gullible enough to think true.

If voices were telling me to hit my lass i would tell them to fuck off cos i'm a decent person. Lots of bi-polar/schizophrenic people dont punch women in the face.

Don't be daft mate, he once claimed he owned Kettering Town Football Club and that he'd never battered his wife into hospital ......... he claimed he knew Raoul Moat from his time on the doors despite the fact that he'd left Newcastle when Moat was 15 years old.

Gascoigne has only ever been sectioned after threatening self harm after which the police have little choice but to refer him to a psychiatric hospital ........ the hospital invariably examines him, declares him to be a thick twat with more money than sense and lets him go.

Choose to believe Gascoignes pathetic money-making packs of lies but, unless you can provide proof, don't expect anyone else to believe it.

The reason no one can be bothered to argue in a similar vein is because it's been done to death, usually by the same posters - unless you produce a written statement of some kind or give proof you're a qualified psychiatrist, you'll be asked for 'proof' all night and when you give it, it gets ignored.

As I said, blind prejudice. And I don't condone or defend his off the field activity. You just aren't prepared to accept the quote - Gazza was a brilliant footballer. And if he had been a Sunderland player and born a mackem, you wouldn't be making these comments on this thread.

And there are, unfortunately, thousands of women who have been punched in the face from allegedly "sane" men. Mainly due to alcohol intake if you check it out.

Not because they have a mental illness.

Obviously not 15. But a mental age of less?

You are probably right about anything I say being ignored - so, goodnight kids.
It's been great.

Nope just a man who understands the world we live in.

I have never mentioned his football skill. I say If you think he's a legend then you are a braindead fuckwit not worthy of participating in rational debate.

If he was from Sunderland I'de still think he was a C.U.N.T. That isn't the variable here. I also think Liam Lawrence and Ben Alnwick are C.U.N.T.S. You I don't know but your not making a good impression.

Surely if people make serious claims they can't object to being asked for some kind of proof ........ that's the same in every case from transfer rumours to financial dealings within the club.

I've yet to see any proof that he's 'seriously mentally ill' as is stated.

Can you supply proof, along with keithmoon66, that you aren't seriously mentally ill?

Same argument.

And definitely, good-night children. It has been hilarious.
And stay off 606 eh? he he he .........

Yes I can and my best friend Moaty will confirm that as soon as I dig him up ............ come on Moony, get the shovels son ;)

I can provide a back history of rational posts on PF. This includes the opinion that Gazza is a worthless man who belongs in jail or a lonely bedsit.

These are the opinions of decent people. And the voice in my head also thinks the same. Oh wait.... thats my conscience.
 
a halfwit geordie with money and we are surprised at the outcome?

I've been mocked every time I've asked the Gascoigne apologists for any proof that he's 'seriously mentally ill' as they all claim, So far, none.

It's been said that there are many drunken wife beaters around and that's true ......... however, I'll guarantee that there are none who engender such support and sympathy.

Until I know better I'll simply believe he's a daft Newcastle lad with far too much money and time on his hands but I'll duly apologise if I'm proved wrong.
 
Here man Gazza was never as good as people make out, he lit up a tournament in 1990 dont get me wrong, had charachter. Doesnt make him a "Great player".

People comparing him to George Best is a joke, he was twice the player Gazza was

Was talking about this last night.....and the mark of a top quality player is that he goes out on the pitch and he owns it. Gascoigne was that sort of player. He would get into any England team in my lifetime....in fact he'd be the main player. The only players who were remotely in his league were funnily enough another couple of Mags Shearer and Robson.

The great players are those who are European footballer of the Year and win world cups...so yeah...in that respect he wasn't a great player.

But he is/was the best player that England has produced in 30 years....followed by the likes of Bryan Robson. Gascoigne would walk into any England team in my lifetime.

An idiot yes....undoubtedly....but some player.

Just looking at the world cup post....

Messi...Rooney...Ronaldo...produced next to nothing......

Gascoigne...22/23 year old went there like he was playing in the park.....and ran it....that's how good he was....

Apart from his class on the ball...his big strength was that nothing held any fear for him on the pitch....also his biggest weakness in that his lack of fear meant he didn't know when to rein it in off the pitch.....
 
Was Hitler a genius? Pol Pot? Charles Manson? Andy Carroll?

Give your head a shake.

Michaelangelo was genius. Beethoven, Einstein, Newton. None of which were ever caught driving round the quayside pissed.

Well with all due respect, I don`t think cars were invented when 3 of the four you mentioned were alive. Hendrix was a genius, John Bonham was a genius etc etc and we all know how that ended.

The issue of genius is that it is the insecurity of being a genius that leads to self doubt, i.e, when you are so far ahead of your time and doing something truly inspired, most people don`t get it and tend to criticise you, which is where the feeling of self doubt come from. Most true visionaries die broke, Van Gogh being a good example, but there are many.

However, I do agree with you, I don`t think Gazza was a genius, he was an above average footballer playing at a time when England didn`t have that many true greats of the game, as such he stood out. To call him a genius is somewhat ridiculous.
 
Stephen Hawkins destroys your entire f***ing argument mind.

He's universally regarded as a genius but has never been sectioned or arrested for cutting his ear off, snorting coke, beating up his lass or driving under the influence.

The appliance of science mate, wins every f***ing time ;)
 
waste of what?

What might have been.

He's very clever, but we're talking the creative type of genius here, which he isn't. And these things are common characteristics, not hard and fast rules applicable to every single case. Not having a cough doesn't mean you haven't got the 'flu!
