What Watts has allegedly done is unforgivable. If true the guy needs to be locked up. And Id be happy to throw the key away.
And now I may get howled down for saying this, but whilst Carney may have been out drinking with him, he didnt do anything wrong but let himself and his club down. Yes it isnt illegal, and he has hurt the hand that feeds him, but is it sackable? Maybe it is. For me it isnt.
A high profile addict's weakness and the fact he cannot fight this addiction, even lying to the club to feed his habit, is the charge he faces. But despite the disrepute, the embarrassment, the anguish, the danger, this isnt the reason this issue is highlighted and centered around Carney this morning.
The reason all this looks so gloomy and "bad" for Carney, is the unsubstantiated crap and sensationalism from the DT and Beetroot face himself.
Beetroot face even claims he was drinking Vodkas and soda in front of everyone. Someone saw him. An insider. No names, Carney wasnt intoxicated, but according to the papers he was drinking Vodkas and soda all night. He walked out on his own, didnt stumble, didnt piss up a wall, but he was drinking Vodkas and soda all night. he wasnt caught driving unlicensed. He wasnt caught or seen arguing with anyone. He wasnt falling over or dragging women in the gutter. But he was drinking vodkas and sodas all night. Im surprised and disappointed the brand of Vodka wasnt mentioned.
Dont allow the alcoholic with the vendetta against us, to continue. Dont feed him. Ban his blog, and please stop reading the garbage, designed to suck the gullible in and create the frenzy.
i dont give a **** about Watts, the grub needs to be rubbed out.
But Im shattered for Carney. I know a little about dealing with the bottle, and I can tell you, it ain't easy stopping. Its easier going cold turkey off smokes after puffing away fro 20 years. Trust me.
So Im not ready to crucify Carney. Especially if his only crime was to break his promise and get sucked into another drink. But Im also doubting he was drinking that much (until 4am), although he may have been out until that hour.
What i am ready to do is completely ban and push for a complete ban of the particular newspaper and its sports journalists, who make up stories without presenting facts, to whip up the frenzy you are now seeing.
I ask every one of my fellow Roosters fans, patience is required with Carney here. And I dont mean everything's OK. But theres no need to sack him. We must stand him down from playing and ensure under a duty of care, we fix him. As much as it takes, as long as it takes. If we want to break this cycle we are seeing across league, then we must break 2 things - the culture and the beatups.
A man's career isnt at risk here (unless of course you claim to write for a newspaper). His life on the other hand is.
Sackings alone wont help stop a man from destroying himself.
And feeding the frenzy from clueless red faced retards, doesnt make anything better either.
So again I ask my fellow Rooster fans and fellow human beings, take the time to listen to the kid before we condemn.
And ban the obvious rag and its pathetic "writers".
Start today. Take that paper from your desk and kitchen areas and bin it. Delete the bookmark from your browsers and add the address to the blocked list on your internet filters.
Last year Carney was the pinup for the game. And the rags made a motza from that fact.
This year he's the pinup for the problems in the game. And more generally the problems with young men in our society. But please, lets not feed the leeches this time.
