Hannibal Lecter Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Know of the wee man, don't know him personally but best wishes to him and hope he can make a recovery. It's such a horrendous disease I would never wish on anybody. Some of the stories about him on here actually had me laughing out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryJTlaw Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Spoke to him on the phone a few weeks ago while he was complaining about pains in his legs, couldnae have imagined anything this sinister. Wishing him a full recovery and would love to see him on the Robbos Loyal again v soon. Gorgie needs you wee man. Nicky would be great if someone could get a print out of this thread to him, would give him a lift for sure! Went to see him yesterday,printed off the first 138 posts so along wi the 6 books at his bedside he has plenty to read,pity open all mics was no good for the radio fergie took in! Seems himself just now but dont know how long it takes for the treatment to kick in,full o bruising in hands an arms,kick on thru it wee man.Mon the JT,s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogi fae Gorgie Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Went into see him Tuesday and Wednesday, He'd had few visitors but missed seeing Gary McKay as he was away getting an examination. Gary now going in on Sunday I beleive. His treatment has not started yet its all tests and things so they can establish exactly the problem so the hospital can come up with a plan of what he needs. He's up for anything they want to through at him, good attitude. If I can say anything please visit him even for 5-10 minutes. I got out myself this afternoon after my chemo and was advised not to go visiting due to infection etc. Take him a paper in he seems to have a liking for the Daily sports papers. Next in could they apologise for me not saying cheerio and tell him why. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Just seen an update from Meadows on facebook. Apparently, doctors are waiting on the results of his "autopsy" before they decide on the best course of treatment! (Those were Sinky's words). I'm sure Meadows will be on soon with more of an update! Well done to him and everyone else whose been to visit! It's good to see his mates and brother Jambo's who don't even know him rallying round!

It's good to see his mates and brother Jambo's who don't even know him rallying round! if ever a user name was inappropiate ! Sinky is honestly blown away with all the messages on here (he got to read them) He said they are all lies,he is quiet !! (add a few expletives) His spirit is strong,his humour great and the staff are being driven crazy by him.As Colin mentioned,he has had his "autopsy" (biopsy)and is awaiting the result.His Radiotherapy is on hold pending result.He is still paralysed(waist down) for the time being,but if the cancer can be reduced on his spine,the physio will start to intensify immediately. he is absolutely delighted with the cards he has recieved,from all over,but special thanks to the Kirkcaldy Hearts boys.His visitors are also greatly appreciated,as are all the sweets,juice,magazines etc. He got a quiz book to read but is reading it from the last page backwards,i did ask why,and was told "cos that's where the answers are daftie" If anyone can support him with a visit or a card,believe me it will be appreciated.

JT19 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I`ve had (still do) tears of all sorts, as I`ve read on this about wee (in height only) Sinky, a bigger character none of the likes anyone other than the wee man himself, we will ever come across again at a Hearts game!!! my wee sis & bro,s 1st game @ hunville, aboot 20 or so years ago, we only had 2 tickets but the polis let my wee bro in thru a blind eye!! that is true btw, anyway gets to our seats & "barry theres 3 empty", then, just b4 1\2 time ...... in he comes reekin "where`s ma furking seat" says he, sussed it oot right away we had Sinkys` seat, got a grip o him & whispered in his ear and all was sorted!! dinnae ask me the score was too busy looking oot for the big wee man!! found about his health thru my bro who works with him . I ken it`s heavy but if we have to be his legs, then that we will, I do believe he`ll get through this. he taught me the words "god save John Robertson, he is our king". Sinky the king of the fans imho ! keep fighting Sinky, the cry is ns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future's Maroon Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Know Sinky pretty well from the Moat/Mill/Locarno...top bloke and doesnt deserve this (no-one does). Certainly didnt see this coming as I was having a banter with him not too long ago. I am certainly glad the rumours I heard at the weekend are untrue (that he has already had his results and only had weeks to go) - Hopefully just to get one up on the horrible person to come out with that rubbish he can tell him in his own special way!!
