It never rains but it pours with Gazza. To celeb deathwatch at once!

I find it hard to have any sympathy for the man, even in a case that's not his fault, if only because he really shouldn't still be alive as it is. It's like he's playing out his very own personal Final Destination film. Fate will eventually catch up with him. Gazza's had his card marked for the last decade. Damn shame but, I'm past giving a toss.

Very few of us have got perfect mates supertom. Lots of mates with lots of similar problems - If you and your mates haven't - you're lucky.

Good luck Gazza.

Thanks for that.  Restored my faith in humankind.  I'm off outside to shout insults at some mentally disabled people.

I caught it - I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

I can understand those lacking in sympathy - possibly the very same lacking in 'real life' mates rather than 'cyber mates' ;-)

I wouldn't call Gazza that. But seriously, hearing about him every week at deaths fucking door is getting tiresome. He could have been one of the best in the world, but wasn't because he's a prat.

The poor bloke's on his arse.  I hope I'm wrong but I fear before too long the next words in a Gascoigne headline will relate to his passing.  And I don't mean cross-field.  They'll make a film about his life one day and it will be one of the saddest you'll see.

Yes, they all died of alcohol abuse. :(

Even so, I probably have lucked out in as much as my mates are at least not total idiots. But how many chances do you keep giving someone who's acting an arse?
If you're someone close to Gascoigne giving him support, chance after chance, and he keeps letting you down, how long do you keep going? We're not talking 2-3 times, he's at it constantly. One week, he's turned his life around, and then within a week he's back arse over tit in a bush, blind drunk. I'm pretty patient most of the time, but I couldn't cope with a mate like Gascoigne tere aren't enough aspirin in the world.

What I will say for him is that he warranted all the hype that Rooney's getting a little bit too much of. Probably the most talented footballer this country ever produced (2nd only to Emile He...actually I won't go there).

If Gazza and Milner had a baby...

That's because he's mentally ill.  You wouldn't have a go at somebody who only has one leg for coming last in a marathon.

Mental illness is frustrating to live with and of course, there's comes a point when the age old "you can't help someone who won't help themselves" argument become relevant but it doesn't mean that people should just say yah boo sucks to anyone with those problems.

Fame and infamy in the same breath. While I sympathise, he's had more chances than any of us in a similar situation would have ever have had. At what point is it personal accountability? He's pissed away his life in the grandest manner. There's enough stories to go toe to to with George Best. Like Tom, I expect we'll be reading his life stories in the past tense before too long. But then again, we've been saying that for a while haven't we?

I think I read somewhere that the root to many of his issues was when his best mate died in his arms when he was a kid.
