He has had that up for a while, In my opinion the SFA should be helping ex players who are out of the game due to injury anyway, the English FA do it. He was obviously a player who gave his all for the club and now he has fallen on hard times. Depression is a terrible illness, and alcoholism does not help. He also has problems with his knee which caused him to retire, so he could also be in chronic pain. Medication for depression and pain killers taken with alcohol is not very good for his mental state either. As for flute bands, he is from Northern Ireland, that is part of the culture there, (and here to some people). We shouldn't give jobs to guys just because they are ex players but we should be helping ex players who have obvious problems. A wee bit of understanding and compassion for the guy who scored THE BEST Motherwell goal I have ever seen (plus he elbowed Peter Grant in the mouth). He will always be a hero to me.

Busta Nut Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 The SFA can't afford to help ex players. Think that's the bottom line, comapring it to the English FA is a mental comparison IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well91 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Why is it a mental comparison? SFA = Scottish Football Association. English FA = English Football Association. Same organisation, different country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnstone Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 He got a testimonial. What else does he want? He asked about a job at Fir Park? Maybe if he applied for a job like normal people he may have had more chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I wasn't suggesting he should have got the job, I think his lack of a job in professional football is the least of his worries just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I never thought you did. I agree he maybe needs help, but thats not Motherwells issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 In case it's not clear, he and others are saying they think The Orange Order and its affiliates such as The Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland, perpetuate a sectarian divisiveness that has no place in a modern, 21st Century Scottish (or Irish) society. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
