George Best RIP
- Thread starter FatboyTim
- Start date
George has had enough of a struggle, time to go old boy, Ollie Reid at least went with a pint of rum and a quick heart attack during an arm wrestling contest with some locals in a hostelry

I've been to that place - Ollie's Bar in Valletta, Malta. Worth a visit if you're on the island.

This thread is a bit sick. It said on the news that he has not made any progress but neither had he deteriorated and that life support would remain.
Talk about willing a man to his grave

Not only that, but the thread has been started purely for attention seeking purposes.

And nothing on BBC Norn Iron suggesting anything but a slight improvement, rather than a potential plug-pull situation

I really couldn't give a stuff about him... but that is a bit much.
Football legend George Best remains "desperately ill", says his doctor.
Professor Roger Williams said the 59-year-old former Manchester United and Northern Ireland star had not deteriorated in the last 24 hours.
Relatives are at his bedside at the Cromwell Hospital, west London where he is being treated for a lung infection.
His condition was unchanged on Monday evening with no further updates expected until morning unless there was a dramatic change, the hospital said.
Best regained consciousness on Sunday, and even watched the Brighton versus Crystal Palace game on television in his ward, before falling into a coma when the camera lingered on Ian Dowie's face for ten seconds during the match.
Earlier, Prof Williams, who oversaw Best's liver transplant three years ago, said his brain and pupils were reacting and there was no question of him being "kept alive".
"He cannot survive day after day without some improvement occurring," he added.

I hope none of you ever suffer a depressive illness.
Alcoholism is a mental illness, The person concerned feel they just cannot cope without drink.
Mental illness is suffered by as many as 1 in 10 people in this country.

Nothing, but NOTHING, will detract from the fact that he was one of the most exciting players in the history of world football.
And probably because he was always someone who never let convention stand in his way. Then and now. It's called Genius and it's difficult to live with.

Men cannot easily live in a world where they are worshipped, told they are the king, and generally respected for usually a simple talent that they were blessed with naturally. Like Elvis, they simply have trouble handling this, and believe they are some special person - when it's a small facet of them that has been magnified by the social group that surrounds them.
'Genius' is a big word for a man to handle, when all he did was manage to dance around with a spherical object and get it past another man and place it into a certain defined space in a field.
Does it mean that Elvis should eat lots more doughnuts than other men, and consume qualudes - because he could carry a note well?
Does it mean that George best should quoff more paint-thinner.... - sorry, alcohol, than other men?
It's all a bit stupid and makes correct perspective difficult for those who admired the 'blessed' ones.
I think of an analogy - in 'Angels With Dirty Faces', seasoned gangster James Cagney is asked by the preacher to go to the chair screaming and crying, to show the young lads who worship him that he was as human as a baby entering the world and not to be respected for his sins. Cagney refuses, yet in his last moments he cries and screams.
Anyone who respects alcohol and thinks it's big to get bladdered should see the folly and pervasiveness of alcohol for what it really is. A reducer of man's sensibility and strength.
