Gazza and Moat

[GrumpyPom]

I live in NZ so dont get the chance to see the UK news that often.
Somebody told me last night that Gazza had gone down to the scene where Moat was threatening to kill himself and offered to talk him round?

Is this true if so can anyone please elaborate?

Thanks

If you have a look in the News section here...........there were links posted from various newspapers, radio interviews, etc.

It's all teeth-grindlingly true....

"On July 9, 2010, Gascoigne appeared at the scene of the tense stand-off between the police and Britain's most wanted man Raoul Moat. He gave several barely-coherent radio interviews in which he claimed to be a friend (knew him as a bouncer) of the fugitive and stated that he had brought him 'a can of lager and some chicken'. He was denied access to Moat"

Gazza can rest at ease now Moat`s dead, he is still officially Newcastles biggest nutter

Elvis i have just listened to your link and found it quite sad, he is clearly unwell.

Mental illness is hilarious, isn't it...?

[ELVIS68]

Chicken, bread, dressing gown, can of lager and 2 fishing rods, would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the police let him through

[ELVIS68]

He`s a p!sshead and a nutter, not mentally ill

`Facebook` refuses to take down a tribute to Raol Mote, they`ll be making Peter Sutcliffe a bl00dy hero next.

ELVIS, you don't care much for us up here then.?.<snigger>

for the record, Gazza was keep asking the taxi driver who took him to Rothbury
"What's this blokes name again?"

[andy-hughes]

Paul Gascoigne is either an imature lout who once but no longer was tolerated because of a considerable talent for football, or he is a borderline Special Needs adult who needs proper guidance and support, which is patently not forthcoming.

Neither of these scenarios qualify him to try and talk to a suicidal murderer with a view to solving the stand-off.

[dh001]

Andy, what is the required qualification for such a scenario?

[momcj]

agree andy. He took a fishing rod for gods sake- thought could catch up, catch some fish-scarey!

[ELVIS68]

"Moaty, it`s Gazza".......BANG!!!!!!!!

Would`ve saved some time

[andy-hughes]

dh001 - speciailst training as a Negotiator which takes years to aquire - which is why Moat's brother was similarly prevented from reaching him.

[dh001]

Andy, who/ how does one becomes qualified to be a Police Negotiator ?

[ELVIS68]

I reckon his brother or uncle would`ve had a better chance than the police, considering he hated them
