Mr Soprano 13,964 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41239996 I always heard murmurs of him hitting it badly when he was with us, but never came to anything. Seems it was true. He's a man I cannot stand for what he done to us during our darkest hour, but fair play to him opening up about this. Hopefully it encourages more people, in and out of the game, to follow suit and seek help. It's an utter bastard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big difference. If you're mum puts £2 per week on the Lotto she's a gambler. You can also lose all your money gambling without being a gambling addict.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hate the cunt. But respect him for coming out and talking about this. Battling an addiction is never easy and he knows keeping it private makes it easier for him to get away with it. All the best to him in beating the addiction. Otherwise he can get to fuck.

kanjo 26,328 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Fair play on opening up about it. Anne Budge at Hearts said he could lose everything and she is right especially at this stage of his career. I've got little sympathy for him though after what he done in 2012.

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I recall his gambling problems being given an expose in the Sunday Mail at the time he was with us - huge casino debts being run up which was causing problems with his relationship with his girlfriend at the time.

Loyaleastend 3,260 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Compulsive gamblers deserve no sympathy, when you think of how some people in the world are struggling to eat and clothe themselves or even find a place to live, all these cunts can do is greet about their own choices and call it an illness How anyone can be entertained by it I'll never understand Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
