Its not shit, nor is it misguided; far from it!goonarmy wrote:

Not even gonna go into how misguided it is
You may disagree with his opinion, but rather than thinking from a selfish and greed point of view, Quartz is more concerned about the well being of the player, and how his life may be affected.... and that's something I cannot criticise... in fact, it's comendable

My view...
It's fairly long winded, but if I had those photo's, then I'm fairly sure I would have sold them to the press without too much soul searching.
His addiction would be out in the open, and that would force him to face his problems head on... with the help of the club, and his friends and family. Yes, it "could" push him over the edge, but with the amount of support he would get, I would like to think that more good would be done from getting his addiction out in the open, than the alternative... of turning a blind eye.

I understand both sides. I could of easily of sold them for a few grand, but what does it achieve in all honesty?? Alright id make a quick few quid, but theres other ways of doing that.

If you had been around coke addicts like I have you would know what I wrote is anything but rubbish, and you would not have dismissed what I wrote with your comments.
Sure, there 's the guy who has the odd snort when he's out on the town and acts the big man, but if people are a slave to the drug, then it's no joke for them or their families.
Ask Paul Merson if he enjoyed being addicted to booze and coke.
But plenty people die of coke.
And people addicted to it get their brains fried, and get sick depressions and suicidal thoughts.
So what I am saying is it might tip this player over the edge.
Equally it might not, he might just laugh it off and carry on.
But it has to be considered.
Merson'ss press conference when he owned up was a heavy scene.

But I am right to point out that if it is more than that, there are family who would be affected.

good greif it gets worseQuartzGooner wrote:Might be idea to chat to Tony Adam's clinic, see if they can do an "intervention" and sort the guy out.
What IS proven is that Juventus used performance enhancing steroids and other drugs...though I have no idea if they have been in our game to the same club endorsed extent.

with respect you turned it from a geezer doing a "few" lines to asking the poster to get in touch with the player and TA's clinic. a bit OTT

Well I hope that if you ever have a drug problem Radford, someone helps you out, you will see what I mean if you ever do.Radford149 wrote:good greif it gets worseQuartzGooner wrote:Might be idea to chat to Tony Adam's clinic, see if they can do an "intervention" and sort the guy out.

I dont know if he's addicted either, might be a one off. But what else does a footballer do with his money, £50-£60 aint nothing for a gram of coke to them. I reckon 50% of footballers are on it at least, it dont take long to get out of your system and they can just pay whoever off. Drugs is the biggest money industry in the world.QuartzGooner wrote:Might be idea to chat to Tony Adam's clinic, see if they can do an "intervention" and sort the guy out.
