I am guessing you are aiming that remark my way I never said mental illness isn't real. What I said is I find it rather convenient that his "mental illness" only kept him out of domestic cricket and now he is good to go for the IPL.
You presume he doesnt have a mental illness by the quote marks, but how do YOU know that, are you some sort of expert? His "mate"? What makes you able to make that call? what you say may well be the case, it may not be, but you and I have no idea. He is after all paying for his Psychologist to go to India with him, but thats a pretty expensive way to fool people into believing he has a mental illness eh
Im not saying you said Mental Illness isnt real, however your attitude towards someone who is likely suffering from it is pretty shit IMO, just because someone doesnt fit in with your stereotype, and god forbid is making money doing something he enjoys doing, after taking time out (which in our harden up society is kind of frowned upon anyway) to actually get his head back on straight, doesnt mean its "convienient".
I dont even have a strong opinion on the guy either way for the record, hes a good cricketer, and our team needs him at the height of its powers. Doesnt sound like someone I would particularly associate with, but i dont really give a fuck what sportsmen and women do if they are not breaking the law. They arent role models to me, and shouldnt really be to others (other people in the community are WAY better role models than sportsmen) However, in the public spotlight they have to accept they are more judged than others. But honestly, he is getting a bad deal here i think, and he will never be able to do anything right to many people ever again. Which is just stupid
Xeno summed it up perfectly for me, leave the bastard alone, hes done nothing to you.
Personally hope he does well, never see the point in hating our sportsmen so damn much, but i know im in the minority there
What I WILL say about mental illness is its not possible to put people in nice neat boxes as to how long it takes, and what needs to be done to "get better". In fact he or others with mental illness may always have to deal with it. It maybe that he ends up fucking up again and again until he never plays for us again, but I wont hate the guy for that, it will just be sad really. Hope for the teams sake tho he comes back and scores a few
The most recent addition is bad enough but watch his top 5 that didn’t include that one. The first and last ones are classic – I really couldn’t stop laughing at the first one, the header, f*ckin ‘ell, he’s terrible. How does he get a game? And how bad are the defences are over there, he gets so much space, just times his runs well and bang he’s in on goal. And those 5 were just in 2011.
I love the way his teammates just stop in disbelief even though the other team is now counter-attacking.
I love the header he does backwards away from goal
Would have loved them to have put a camera in the tunnel though
I reckon! Pretty poor Suarez not the look Liverpool are after... Especially with the past instances of bananas being thrown at John Barnes by some london clubs supporters. But Evra shouldn't have done the Gary Neville at the end. . Still revenge for the FA cup is all good!
The fact that Fergie is only in the EPL and the Europa is pretty funny, same for Mancini, even more so really. No better than Arsenal or Liverpool. (Yet).
Didnt deserve the CL so cant complain too much
and well played Liverpool (fuck it) I guess small satisfaction is that the MASSIVE Man Shitty wont win this year...
Just gotta stop them taking EPL....
No teams really standing out this year, surprised we are still in the hunt. Fergie will get us there am sure.
Oh and Lead he actually seemed moderately gutted to be knocked out of the FA, more than the CL interestingly.....probably as it was to the Scouse
Fifa is not in crisis - Blatter Fifa president Sepp Blatter says corruption allegations within his organisation are merely "difficulties" - but accepts they have caused "great damage to the image of Fifa".
I feel a whole lot better about FIFA now cos Sepp says all is ok
What a joke they need a complete clean out and give some new people chance to become rich and corrupted

tut all these fair weather supporting Man U coz we hate Spanish divers people....
seriously tho, think both Henno and I are on the tame side of "snide cocky dicks"
To quote my work mates
Arse supporter - Fuckin hate both teams, but if i had to pick......no its too hard.....oh well......um......Man U because we beat them last month and theyre not Barca... Chelski supporter - FUCKING BEAT BARCA (everytime he sees me...) Then some ramble about Barca buying refs or something...
I guess you could consider Messi to be marginally OK at football, if you were generous.
Still though, Barca, and for that matter, Real - what a horrible fucking match of football. This is exactly why people that don't like it, will never like it. Diving, cheating, embarrassing shit from both sides. Jesus, turns you off the game a bit eh.
I hope Man U fucking rape them.
I fucking hate Man U.
Was a stupid stupid game in the end
I know exactly what you are getting at here, and tbh, as much as i hate Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool.....I would have to prefer them over a spanish/italian team
Have a couple of colleagues at work who support Chelsea and Arsenal pretty rabidly, and theyve both told me exactly that, dont let the fucking spanish win...
