And it will be a dark time in our business when it does happen. There was that ring boy scandal in the 80s which nothing ever really came of. 4 minutes ago, Cod Eye said: Struggling to remember what Gatso did/was involved in, which is probably a good thing.  He basically raped a girl. She was super drunk and he manipulated it so he could take her back to his/a hotel and have sex with her. He mentioned it on a thread in here in a sort of WAHEY WHAT A LAD way but nobody else saw it that way, obviously. Edited October 26, 2017 by SpursRiot2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members stumobir Posted October 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 26, 2017 The gatso thing was hands down the most fucked thing I've ever read, I still get the creeps thinking about it. The lines about avoiding her friends that were looking for in the hotel and about it being better it was him than someone else make my stomach turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just the name that didn't line up. I remember telling my Mrs about it at the time and how repulsed she was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Well, this thread took a turn. @BomberPat, 100% agree, but all those few do is trivialise and divert attention from the real problem. @Damm, BomberPat said "an awful lot of men". Not all. Not you by name. But enough. Too many. Those who commit that kind of crap and straighten themselves out are decent, but don't deserve praise for doing so, because it's gross failures in their own choices for whatever reasons that dropped them down the ladder of respectability, decency, and morality - getting back to square one isn't an achievement, but the starting point for being the good human being one should never have stopped being. And you're on a written forum. Nobody's " born with good grammar", ffs. But at least know when each of your sentences ends, and end each of them with a full stop. Work up from there.

I like this point. Â It reminds me of something Jeremy Hardy said when I went to one of his gigs. He was telling a story about how in the 80s he was doing an anti fascist fundraiser and was warmly received. Â Then the MC introduced someone who used to be in the National Front and beat up minorities but turned his back on that ideology. Â He spoke out against the NF and condemned them to rapturous applause and whilst joining in the cheers, Hardy thought "Hang on, I've never beat anyone up for being black or gay and didn't get a standing ovation. Â This bloke has but now he doesn't he is a hero?" Guess you had to be there, it was pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would venture a guess that it's to do with re-affirming to the "convert" in question that he's made the right choice and is now on the side of the good guys, whilst those who were good from the beginning know it and therefore don't need it? It's a stretch, but that's all I can think it might be. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 He might've had it up for selling purposes tbf, but it was definitely in his actual profile and was very strange. His comment about Paige was well creepy as well, along the lines of "I used to be good mates with Paige back in the day, winky face" apropos of nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted October 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2017 Blampied’s made the BBC homepage with his apology. Looks like he learned how to work the media in his time with WCPW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) I can't see anything on their homepage. They're based in Newcastle aren't they? Perhaps your homepage is tailored to include more regional-specific stories/features? Edited October 27, 2017 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
