Hasn't he had enough chances?

Aaaaaaaand that's why he was taken out of the MTL Hall of Fame - I'm guessing?

Mods remove if too SPICY for you.

Maybe he could be moved to the Stuart Hall of fame?

Good old Gazza, never fails to dismay

One count, due to touching. Now, I'm not defending the groping of any person against their will at any time and I do not know the circumstances of this case (I would remind you all that none of us do, but it won't stop people commenting!) - but based on what we know so far, I wouldn't suggest this needs a flooding of the bed.

The man has problems, he doesn't need a public flogging.

Just part of the downward spiral.

Was going to post something similar. The bloke is mentally ill.

That as well!

 

[Napper]

Still love him

Must. Resist. Joke

The Venerable Bede may have a word or two to say about that scurrilous comment.

Just part of the downward spiral.

Northern speak for foreplay?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Surprised* nobody has posted that there is something suspicious about this story.

*no I'm not, actually

 

[blue-shifted]

He'll get the chance to answer for it in court so I don't want to pre-judge whether he's guilty or not. I just find Gazza's decline desperately sad

 

[Birdie Boy]

Touching is very open to interpretation, surely. So until I know more, I will refrain from guessing..

How long till the Victim Blaming train pulls into the NSC station?

I disagree that it won't stop people commenting. You just won't notice those that it will stop.

Sadly mental health provisions are insufficient, Gazza should have been helped sometime ago.

You cannot force help (or mental health provisions) on someone, even under Section (which is just in effect detaining them) - services are offered and need to be engaged with by the person they are offered to. Unless you know of a magic, click-your-fingers cure?
