Ali-1874 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Not nice to hear especially since he has mental health issues. Gazza held after hotel incident Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne has been detained under the Mental Health Act following an incident at a hotel in Newcastle. Northumbria Police said a 40-year-old man was detained following an incident of disorderly behaviour at the Malmaison Hotel early on Wednesday. Officers later visited Mr Gascoigne at Gateshead's Hilton Hotel after concerns were raised about his behaviour. Police said he was not in custody and was now receiving medical treatment. From the BBC, doesn't really say much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyphoonJambo Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I know a bloke with a severly handicapped little girl. Gazza happened to be in a pub when he was holding a fund raising charity event to buy some equipment to help with her care. Gazza approached him, arranged a Sky televised pro-am golf tournament and raised tons of cash,including a load of his own. Also involved were a few politicians and other football players, many of them regularly slated by the British press, and they all gave up their own time and, in most cases, a lot of cash for this event which he organsied. Last I heard he regularly popped in with with expensive gifts. My Point? don't always believe the press! A lot of these people do a lot of good work and are normal whilst the press are a bunch of headline making *******s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dipped Flake Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Who? Chris Evans (can't remember who the Danny was, some comedian). They had great fun with Gazza, taking him oiut and getting him ****ed (not that he needed much encouragement) and then dumped him when he went off the rails. I used to hate him when he played for the gers or england and detest guys who batter women but he is obviously mentally ill so can't bring myself to wish him any harm p.s Danny Baker I think it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have no sympathy for anyone that inflicts violence on a woman. What goes around comes around and all that. Maybe it came around in the first place because he was mentally ill even then. The guy had it all and lost it, maybe his behaviour then was symptomatic of his problems rather than the full picture.

Beverley Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 can't remember who the Danny was danny baker calling him a comedian is like calling geri halliwell a singer! i have to admit laughing a lot at them crating him up before one of the tournies, can't remembver if it was the WC or the euros could always send himself up. never had much time for him as a person, but liked watching him play. his tears will always make me smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussG Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 That's not what Russ was saying, and you know that fine well. Thank you, of course it wasn't. It was just a suggestion that perhaps some undestanding needs to be applied when considering some of his erractic behaviour and violent actions. I didn't expect the tabloid style posters to be anything other than sensationalist about it though. Never mind, understanding, appropriate treatment and rehabilitation, just let him rot in hell eh!

crazy_jambo_2006 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 A genius of a footballer. Wonderful player. Probably the best player I've seen play in Scotland. If he's mentally ill, I hope he gets better soon. If he had signed for Ferguson at Man Utd, I believe he'd have been sorted in football. He didn't get the protection and help that the Rooneys etc get these days. I am no England fan, but they should've taken Gazza to France 1998. The way they ditched him was quite cruel. Anyone remember a freekick he scored in Dave MacPherson's testimonial? Or the rumour he necked whiskey at half time during the League Cup Final '96.
