That romain twat and mr-m are just ignorant. I wouldn't let them wind me up - they are the ones being selfish - ie Roberts is fighting for his sanity but he's a cunt because he played a few bad games for the Town. I never liked Roberts as a player but as one human being to another I have great sympathy and respect for him. He's faced his problems and he's still here.
Anyone with any experience - first hand or otherwise - will know he wasn't being selfish or ungrateful for things - he was ill, pure and simple. Now he's better but will have to be on his guard for the rest of his life.

Certainly lifts the lid on what it was like under King and how the whole club was run, disgraceful
Wish Roberts luck with the future though

I had a gambling problem myself.....in fact i was addicted to it.
I went to gamblers Anon for six years........nearly killed me did gambling.
Having a bet was more important than eating to me for nearly twenty years.
The last eight years i have had four bets(four to many)in my case...but considering up to then i had bet every day for twenty years i finally have got myself back to some sort of normality.
The difference with addiction to gambling is that it mentaly kills you...........no one can see the physicle side unlike drink and drugs so you can hide it for years...i did untill i hit rock bottom.
My best wishes to Christian Roberts..........i admire anyone who can beat addiction,problem is you never are quite sure that you have.....but at this time in my life i am actually starting to believe i am over the worse........like Christian Roberts once the world knows about your problem then there is no hiding place if you return to your particular vice.........knowing this is just one barrier i have in place to prevent me sliding back to old ways.
As i said anyone who beats addiction or tackles it head on are right up there in my book.

i think he's exaggerated the story.
firstly there is nowhere to pull over on the severn bridge,and secondly even if he did pull over as he described,he did would have been caught on camera and would have been aprehended when he got back in his car at the very least.

This is totally irrelevant. It's the fact he was in a suicidal mind set. |
