*spits*
another Footballer to be permitted to escape the scrutiny of their actions
through publicly announcing he is,"officially dependent" on alcohol"
Everybody gets on the drink in football circles but some are just dickeheads.
They're dicheads when they're sober and dikcheads when they're drunk.
They want attention for whatever reason and when they get it,they play the victim.
Look at Wayne Carey.
Since the days of Ted Whitten beating the hell out of his wife,these guys have been treated like gangsters - what an emabarassment to the gangster fraternity
IMO,Ted Whiten is the blueprint for the s hitman Aussie male that gets drunk,acts like a hero at the "club",comes home and belts the wife.
What's next,a player does a press confernece announcing he has a problem murdering people
but is let off because "he announced it and is making progress"
joke.
