Gabby

[Bad English]

Maybe Gabby is suffering from depression.

I'd say so. A move abroad might be good for him (and definitely good for the club) it might get him motivated towards somehow actually enjoying football again. I just have no idea where his standard lies these days, it's hard to gauge with such little football recently. Would he even be able to score goals in say the Turkish league?

I think some pragmatism is required if (big if) if there is any chance of him playing and scoring goals for us in the championship post transfer window closing then I'd hope that is at the very least considered.

I'd love us to bin off him Lescott Richards, but if letting them rot in the reserves costs us a chance of promotion then I think that's too high of a price to pay.

We need pace in the side and if (another big if) if he's fit then he provides that.

Not sure if this was a joke or not but whenever I've suffered from depression (thankfully not that often) one of the biggest, and most harmful symptoms has been a tendency to turn serious, but not insurmountable problems into crises by going into full-on bridge-burning mode. I'd assume that the problem I faced was so catastrophic that there was no way I could ever repair it and that everyone in the world thought I was an irredeemable menace so there was no point engaging constructively to move things forward. Luckily it's always been the trigger for somebody to realise that I was in trouble and talk me into being sensible.

That does sound, from the outside, a bit like Gabby's situation.

Sorry, I was a bit of an overshary canary there, but it's worth considering at least.

Yeah BE was joking. It was something that was mentioned a while back where I think the general consensus was that he is just a bit of a bellend.

I'm also a fellow sufferer *low five!*.

It wasn't a joke; I was wondering aloud what turned him into a work-dodging, lazy, overweight waster.

See end of penis.

Yes, he might just be a bellend.

Love that description. Sums it up perfectly

I didn't know it had been brought up previously between you and BE. None of my business either way but, for the record, when I said 'not sure if this is a joke or not' and then went on to say something serious, I wasn't suggesting that he shouldn't be joking about it (if indeed he was).

That said, if you think he's a bellend then that's up to you. I just didn't want my post to be misconstrued as one of those ones where people say 'you can't joke about X because X once affected me (even though I joke about YZ&W, all of which are hilarious).'

I'm not getting bogged down in this whole bellend hornet's nest, is what I'm saying. I am Pontius Partridge.

I don't know if Gabby is a depressive, but he's definitely a cause of depression in others.

Falstaff gag!

Also

bellend hornet's nest

is guaranteed to give me nightmares.

It would be funny if he joined Smethwick in the last few days.

If he is suffering from depression my non medical diagnosis is that it a form that is self inflicted.  He gambles heavily (ergo he loses heavily), he drinks heavily, he overeats and he is sexually promiscuous.  The house he lives in looks a monument to tasteless vulgarity.  It would be surprising if he were not depressed.  He deserves to be until he adopts a less self indulgent lifestyle.

You say this like its a bad thing

Thank you for highlighting that UKR.  I should have said gambles stupidly.
