What a shambles!
I couldn't believe that Gazza was ever considered for such an accolade, when his best known goal came in a vital Euro 96 game playing against Scotland for the Auld Enemy. I could understand if it was the Scottish League doing this, to respect those who did great acts to promote the Scottish Leagues. But an Englishman who's best known for a goal against Scotland.

The double standards on display reassure me that traditional values still hold firm.
Interesting to note how many psychiatrists, and psychologists contribute to Hibs.net, by the way - amazing what you can learn by reading the tabloids, and adapting a concerned countenance.
I wonder how many of you would feel comfortable saying his weight loss is due to cancer? The sad fact is, none of us know what's going on in that guy's head, it's bad form to discuss it in such an offhand and uninformed way.
I don't know why he was nominated anyway. That entire Rangers team was full of outstanding internationalists.

The statement was very poor I thought. He's not getting it because of his 'health'.. Why would anyone think it was ok to say this?

For football alone damn right he deserves to be there. By far the best player that I have ever seen in Scottish fitbaw since following Hibs from 1979. He was also a character that sadly lacks in world football these days.

If he's excluded, then I'd wager there are a good number of inductees who had troubled personal lives. Jim Baxter and Jimmy Johnstone immediately spring to mind. Would anyone question their inclusion? And would George Best be excluded had he been Scottish?
If there's a clause which states something along the lines that as well as being an oustanding player/manager etc a nominee must also have been a clean-living, mentally stable character then I imagine they'd have to de-select a good many.

The SFA are incredible really. They shoot themselves in the foot all the time. They claim to have concerns about Gazza's health.
What they're worried about is that he might do something radge at their fancy event.

Read the statement by Club 1872 earlier. Good to see the caring side of The Rangers again. Pity most of their members probably can't read. Club 1690 would suit them better.

Much of that has already been covered on here
"All the best on the back of his health challenges?" Wtf does that mean?
Otherwise the usual whitaboot bile, from those small town knuckle draggers.

I'm just surprised our manager didn't make it into this one. I'm a tad disappointed at that to be honest.

I actually think they had a good argument, before they started playing the victim card. For them to complain about convicted racists, well you couldn't make it up

He should never ever have been nominated in the first place but to do so, opening him up to abuse from all sides then take it away from him is honestly unforgivable. The man has very serious mental health issues and this is the kind of thing which could knock him off the rails again.
SFA should hang the heads then be given their marching orders.

For all we know, he could have cancer, or liver disease. We wouldn't be trying to second guess what's going on there, would we?
"Mental health issues" seems to be a cop out for basically saying someone's behaviour is strange, but not really being able to explain why
To me, he is a daft laddie that can't take responsibility for his own life, and deliberately sabotages attempts to make him grow up. I still don't think he should be denied the hall of fame entry on those grounds though.
Serious "mental health issues" tend to be a lot more debilitating than his, check out Frank Bruno's story, for the devestation it can cause people.

Apart from the addiction issues that have blighted him especially with booze, he has had OCD for a long time - the D of which stands for disorder.
Gascoigne has done some stupid things and downright bad things - for that he must face the music, but it's unfair to dismiss his health issues, which have been well-documented.

Whether you think his past history points to serious mental illness, depends on whose word you take for it, and how you define serious mental illness.
Just because something is in the paper, doesn't make it true.

Followed by a load of pop psychology on Gascoignes personality, behaviour and attitide.
You're consistent I'll give you that.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I think it's fair to say that his health shouldnt have been used as the reason for not giving the award.
If he is mentally ill, or does have another illness, it should have nothing to do with his eligibility for the hall of fame.
Likewise, assuming that the health problems cited are mental health based is equally pop psychology. My big bear is that armchair psychiatrists analyse people's mental health in a way that the wouldn't analyse physical health.
You are right to point out i am guilty of that myself. Possibly illustrating the dangers and poor taste of speaking about
any aspect of people's health in public
I shouldn't have given my opinion (he's a waster) no more than anybody else should be giving theirs. I'd feel even guiltier if I didn't think he uses it as a crutch, and comes back with a different diagnosis, every time he needs attention, it has to stay out of jail.
There is no reason he shouldn't be in the hall of fame because if that thoughLast edited by Chic Murray; 13-10-2018 at 01:05 PM.
