bennett Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 celtic fans are already sending outraged emails to Uefa trying to get this stopped. Quite pathetic really. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I will never attempt to excuse what he did to his wife as that is unacceptable but outwith that I have a lot of sympathy for him. He was a poster boy & catalyst for the Sky inspired "reinvention" of football, he was never the brightest person & just wanted to play football so to have that pressure put on him destroyed him mentally & physically as he turned to the booze to cope. If he emerged nowadays he would have an army of people connected to the club & his agency protecting him & spinning the Media, wife beating arseholes are still out there in football but we will never get to hear about it. He didn't help himself a lot of the time but he appeared to be a generous person at heart & a lot of vultures took advantage of that & bled him dry while encouraging his excesses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His book is a tough read, especially the stuff around his childhood. Even simple things like being scared of the dark, hard to get your mind round someone like that being afraid of the dark. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeWereThePeople Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 2 hours ago, Romeo said: His past behaviour doesn't bother Kinky because he played for the old rangers. So in his eyes domestic abuse is perfectly acceptable. Didn't your current manager threaten his girlfriend with a knife recently? Is that classed as domestic abuse in your small bigoted brain? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 good stuff from UEFA This the guy who was singing f**k the Pope recently?

bennett Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Last season celtic fans were demanding that everyone show sympathy to one their players who was battling with addiction and mental illness issues. Paul Gascoigne has suffered with those issues for most of his life and it's open season on him..... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Mental that Kincy accuses other folk of attention seeking/playing to the gallery.
