derekweir29 505 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/3192253/Gazza-arrested-over-drugs.htmlTROUBLED former footie star Paul Gascoigne has been arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs.Gazza was held at an address in Newcastle late yesterday afternoon.Northumbria Police confirmed a 43-year-old man had been arrested for possession of a class A drug while another man of the same age was arrested for supplying drugs.Ex England star Gazza remains in police custody this morning.A police spokesman said: "Shortly after 5.30pm Thursday October 21 police attended a property in North Tyneside."A 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug."A second man, a 43-year-old, was later arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs."Both men are still in custody and enquiries are on going."Earlier this week Gazza was warned by a judge at Newcastle Magistrates' Court he could face jail for drink-driving.He admitted getting behind the wheel while more than four times the limit.Gazza, who grew up in Dunston, Gateshead, will stand trial later this month for separate offences of driving with excess alcohol and driving without insurance, which he was arrested for during a "lost weekend" in February.He and pal Michael Harvey checked into the Black Horse Inn, in Kirkby Fleetham, North Yorks, to go fly fishing at a local lake.But they were asked to leave after one night, and proceeded to go on a boozing session in nearby Leeming Bar where an off-duty cop arrested them after witnesses allegedly saw them driving a van.Harvey was also charged with drink-driving, but both pleaded not guilty when they appeared before Northallerton magistrates in April this year.The troubled former Newcastle, Spurs, Lazio and Rangers star has recently been in rehabilitation as he battles alcoholism.Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/3192253/Gazza-arrested-over-drugs.html#ixzz1351fVDCY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 My sympathy for the guy has almost ran dry.Drunk driving, possible drug supplier - someone lock him up for the safety of the public and himself.the more and more we hear, week after week, it is really damaginy my love for a guy that was the star of my childhood, losing patience with all these instances. a year locked away, be in prison or institution could make the world of difference. if not, i fear he wont make 50.

Papa Sasac 164 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 He's running himself into an early grave, as much as it pains me to say it. It's just one thing after another with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,331 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm afraid that Gascoigne is past redemption, which is a terrible shame but not unexpected.He has an illness and has no control over his addiction much in the same way that George Best and countless others have gone.The pages of history are littered with flawed geniuses and Gascoigne is another name on the list.

papaguy51 912 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Long term incerceration or (regretabbly) death seem to be the only two surefire ways of preventing him from putting others at risk just now.He done well for us, but he's going to kill someone shortly and that puts it into perspective.

bluepeter 5,627 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I hate reading about Gazza now. It's so sad when you consider the feeling of joy and excitement I used to get watching him play. I can hardly open a thread about him now, I just don't want to read about the latest stage in his downfall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 The guy is seriously ill and you have rangers fans turning against him.Very sad. I would love him to get better but i can only see this ending one way.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to draw the line somewhere Lee, he's had chance after chance and keeps blowing it.I wonder how much understanding you'd have if, god forbid, he crashed into a loved one whilst driving at 4X the limit. At what point does he have to take responsibility for his actions. Alcoholism is an illness, but he doesn't seem to be doing much to help it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for people judging him for taking drugs.....stones and glass houses spring to mind.....Good point although this is just the latest episode with Gazza but again its part of his illness. Perhaps a spell of enforced rehab might do him some good but I sadly doubt it. He is a horrible car crash waiting to happen I fear and that is a great shame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
