tannerall 25,935 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 That would be a nice wee touch for both Defoe and the wee kids family. Really hope it's not just the usual newspaper nonsense, Sunderland were his main team. Either way, I'm sure the family will be hoping for the best for Jermain up here and will hopefully come along to Ibrox to see him play.

wullyRFC 5,230 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Could have done so much with his spsre time with the money he had but chose to spend a portion of it with this great kid. If you believe some of the sick peado condoning bastards on social media Defoe only became interested in Bradley as a PR stunt brought together by his PA. #55 True Hair Bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlueSuedeSambas 53,772 Posted January 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2019 Always makes me feel sad when I think about that poor little lad and what he and his family went though.

Mostly for good humane reasons. Some of course welcome the publicity or tax breaks, but really it's just the same as ordinary folk.

It’s inconceivable really. A parent should never have to experience those feelings and a child should never have to go through a disease like that.

Life is fucking frightening and it just ramps up ten fold when you have kids of your own. Absolutely. I always used to say things like " Christ, that's ashame" and the usual patter when I heard these stories, and I was sincere when I said that. Then I remember listening to BBC radio Scotland in the car not long after my Daughter was born and there were two guys who had met at a bereavement counselling service for bereaved parents on talking about the charity work they were doing. They were climbing Munros wearing a Rangers and celtic top and they'd become best pals, basically saving each other from the despair. They were telling their respective stories and I was just bubbling like a big fucking wean in the car. I started to panic like mad and that's the first time I really realised that my life had changed forever. I don't think it had sunk in until that point. How anyone can believe in a loving God when parents lose their children every day is beyond me. I truly wish nothing but the best for any parent who goes through that. It's unfathomable. radlord, qwerty and The Godfather 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
