Paul Gascoigne

Uncle Wally One Ball said:
Yes, much lols all round, what a brilliant bloke he was. A pathological violent bullying roidhead who went on a murderous rampage simply because his girlfriend had the sheer gall to finish with him. Great bloke though. I can see why Gascoine the wife beating drunk would want to be friends with him, after all, they are both just misunderstood and not of it is fair. They are both utter ****s.
Highlight be fucked. Cant believe I just read that, or that someone actually liked it.

The humour in this country has always been dark and a bit twisted. Nobody would have a good word for Moat or condone what he did, nor some of Gasgoine's antics. You can bet though that 90% of the country would have laughed out loud when the story broke that he was on his way to try and talk to Moat carrying a few cans of beer and a takeaway. The laughter would been one of an incredulous nature and disbelief, but people laughed at the time and continued to joke about it for some time afterwards, including professional comedians. That doesn't mean they found what Moat did amusing or Gasgoine beating up his wife. It was just a bizarre tale which was funny because it waz so bizarre.

No it wasnt. They were mates. He actually said when turning up there "Moaty wont shoot me I know him". It was bizarre he went to see his friend. Who the fuck would want to be friends with Raoul Moat?

I'm not sure they were actually mates but given that he worked on doors and Gasgoine was a pisshead their paths probably crossed out and about and they probably knew each other. Moat had quite a few friends who spoke well of him after his death although he struck me as a violent psychopathic bully but I didn't know him of course. Everyone has two sides to them and he won't be the first, or sadly the last, to kill or lose the plot over a failed love affair.

We are looking too deeply into it. The story " Gazza stopped carrying a takeaway, fishing rod and can's of beer on his way to talk to under siege fugitive Moat" would have had most people laughing, as I said in a " What the fuck,?" way, like it or not.
 
I watched the Netflix documentary on him the other day and as humorous and occasionally touching as it was it really pisses me off how they totally glossed over his violence and generally appalling behaviour towards Cheryl and her family. He’s a Narcissist of the highest order and I can’t help thinking that the better a sportsperson you are in this country the more the public is prepared to forgive you for otherwise unforgivable sins.
I recommend Cheryls book Surviving Gazza - after reading that it’s difficult to have any sympathy for the bloke.

There are other things n’all...

United kicked the survivors and windowed families of the Munich Air Disaster out of their homes.
Louis Edwards sold condemned meat to schools.
Martin Edwards got done for following a woman into the toilets and peaking under the cubicle.
Ferguson said he’d have sorted Gazza out but couldn’t stop (as you mentioned) McGrath, Webb, Robson and later Giggs and Sharpe from being serial piss heads, he had such a lack of a grasp on Giggs and Sharpe he sold Sharpe to keep them apart and stop them going out all the time together.
Charlton was done for ticket touting.
Thomas was done for ticket touting.
Ferguson had to sell Paul Ince because there were rumours he’d shagged Kanchelskis’ wife.
Ferguson had to sell Kanchelskis because United hadn’t paid Shakhtar any of the clauses in his contract and had been bunging them to some dodgy gangster who Kanchelskis was involved with... and then failed to pass on the 30% transfer fee sell-on clause they also owed Shakhtar when they sold him.
Ferguson was involved in dodgy transfers involving his agent son.
Cantona refused to play in the Munich Memorial game unless he was paid so United paid him £90,000 out of the Munich Memorial Fund.
United fans murdered Crystal Palace fan Paul Nixon at the 1995 FA Cup semifinal.
Beckham disobeyed Ferguson’s order not to go out with Victoria and used to get about in the boots of taxis.
And the reason behind United’s hated owners, the Glazers, coming into to ownership of United was because Ferguson fell out with Magnier and MacManus over a racehorse he felt he should be earning more money from with them, M+M decided they couldn’t work with Ferguson anymore but knew they couldn’t sack him so they sold the club to the Glazers and left.

Always been a proper club with proper morals and their house properly in order, that lot.

I have given that a like but some of these claims are a little exaggerated. But that makes them better!

Apart from the ones involving Kanchelskis (of which I had not heard previously and so cannot comment) and the deployment of the ‘m’ word in relation to Paul Nixon (arguably; intent in relation to unlawful killing is often far from straightforward) I’d say they were all spot on. In fact, the one about Micky Thomas downplays his criminal conduct. Which ones do you think are exaggerated?
 
Played against Gazza in my school days in the county cup semi final. He missed the 1st game as away with England schoolboys. We were winning 1 0 until the last minute when they equalized. This game was played in a blizzard as our teacher said we had no chance of beating them with him in the team. In the replay at Dunston I was given the job of man marking him. They won 5 2. He scored 4 and set up the other.
Years later, when he was playing in Italy and was injured I met him in Florida. We were both in the que for the ET ride at Warner Brothers studios. I was getting my picture taken with him when a young girl walked past and said to her parents "look there's Gazza and Jimmy 5 Bellies". Started a diet the next day.

Nice story - but how many of those bellies have you got rid of?
I am somewhere between 2&3 and I will settle for that...

And he under-played the saga of Martin Edwards and hs periscope mirrors under the toilet cubicle doors in the bars of Halebarns!
