The fact that he has made an admission of guilt says everything. Legal or not, the bloke has been an arsehole. Fact.

Fucking lol. You must be on a wind up surely :ROFLMAO:

Best hope Walkers Mrs never gets pregnant and has to go into a delivery room - its like hippy crack heaven in there.

You're talking as if The Mirror has morals.

I'm talking as if the people who constitute the mirror are required to act well to people outside the mirror, morally if you like. The universe puts that demand on them. So do I. The fact that they abrogate their responsibilities makes no difference to the fact that these are incumbent on them in the first place. It is a nasty rag, I agree, but that's not OK. It's not 'realism' to render their harmful behaviour outside of a context where it needs to stop. It's apologism. It's actually unrealistic because the dimension of compassion and treating people well, love's knowledge, is artificially written out of the account.

Kids having fun.

Nothing to see here.

Yes, but you then add a load of stuff where you think he's not, and come up with something slightly bizarre that you think is "worse", so I respond again. We agree he was stupid. I'm just not making excuses for him afterwards

It is good business to ruin a young man's international career, yes, that's why they do it. It sells paper. I'm not condoning it, but I am a realist. It happens. Life's not all flowers, sunshine and £200k-a-week deals. Simply stating a fact is not defending the tabloid press. We all know what they are, and you're in denial if you don't accept that.

Walker taking laughing gas is one thing but the English press trying to ruin English players careers and disrupt the team is another. It's happened loads of times now and this is just another example. Can you not see that standing up against these papers is different than blindly sticking up for a player? It's the same kind of bullshit that got Hoddle sacked from the England job. I'm fed up with it and they need to be held accountable.

Fair enough if you weren't defending them but it sure sounded like it, I don't think they deserve praise for what they do and I do consider them to have failed with this story because they've not got the reaction that they wanted. Well apart from a handful of people that believe everything they read but who cares about them?

Highly paid adults so something to see here.

For those chastising; this is the same shit the St Johns Ambulance give to players when they are in lot of pain. Capoue was huffing the stuff like it there was no tomorrow when he was taken off! It's harmless in small quantities, such as those in a balloon.

I shudder to think what a Spurs player could be found guilty of and still be defended by some Spurs fans

We like to rip the piss out of Chelsea fans for defending Terry or Liverpool fans for defending Suarez, but our lot have it in them, too. All fans are the same, you take the rough with the smooth

Oh come on now. Are you really equating huffing a bit of gas with racism?

It's a complete non-story, that's why people are defending him. No harm done.

If he - or anybody else in our squad - was found guilty of racist abuse then it would obviously be a different story.

It's probably more risky to get in a car and drive to the nightclub, than inhale that quantity of laughing gas. I've heard that 2 people die from it per year, so nothing to see here imo.

Drinking to excess is worse - both for the user and those around them, than inhaling laughing gas - in pretty much every respect.

Footballers do that all the time.

This, i wonder how many of those calling Walker a idiot never drink too much and make arseholes of themselves at the weekends. :LOL:

Shadydan · Sep 9, 2013

Cannot believe the over reaction to something so minuscule.

It's laughing gas FFS, nowhere near as harmful as alcohol.

I take it the next time we see a footballer sipping on a glass of wine he's gonna get chastised like Walker has?

sussexyid · Sep 9, 2013

This is the biggest non story of the year. I notice the FA said there wont be a punishment but im guessing thats because there is nothing they can punish him for!!

I won't get into a debate over it, the fella is paid a lot of money to be a role model and has been outed as an idiot, which he has admitted.

There's some irony for ya. :whistle:

Would you be so outraged he was inhaling a balloon full of helium to make his voice squeeky like most have done at some point in their lives?

the_king · Sep 9, 2013

No-one really cares about it do they?

The media again showing that they have an agenda, no wonder England players pull out of squads when our own media are treating them like this, the day before a crucial qualifier.

Legal high? tut tut Kyle....

He isn't paid to be a role model, He is paid to play football. The sooner that Footballers aren't seen as 'role models' than just normal people who happen to be good at a sport we like, the better.

Misfit · Sep 9, 2013

Laughing gas, helium. Taking 3 weak aspirins instead of 2 for a really bad headache. I've lived the life of a hardcore junkie apparently.

I've even had one or two more drinks than necessary from time to time.

I need to sort my life out.
