If they could plonk (note: deliberate usage of the word plonk) a mirror on the opposite side of the desk I think Gordie will try to fight his reflection within 6 weeks.

Gordon Tallis should host a show and anyone on the show that disagrees with him, Gordie should be allowed to bash on the head and drag to the nearest touch line.

NRL personality Paul Kent will seek to have allegations he was involved in a street brawl dismissed due to mental health, a court has been told.

“I will be seeking an application to have this matter dealt with under mental health and cognitive impairment,” he told magistrate Scott Nash.

“In the after hours of this alleged incident he (Kent) sought urgent counselling. He has been seeing his GP who has referred him (to) Burwood hospital.”

Under the Act, a magistrate may make an order to dismiss a person into the care of a responsible person if they are found to suffer a mental impairment.

Kent, a divisive figure among NRL fans because of his comments on Fox’s rugby league TV show, allegedly responded with his own colourful language – branding the man a “doghead”.

SHORT SHOT

When Paul Roos celebrated Sydney’s 2005 premiership one of the secrets, he revealed, behind the Swans’ success was their refreshing “No Dickhead Policy”.

Anyone bad for the joint was unwelcome.

Sadly, that policy is now dead under the mental health act.

Now, all the dickheads in the world simply claim their dickhead behaviour is a mental welfare issue and immediately it makes them no longer accountable for their dickhead actions.

And the bleeding heart lefties, searching for a cause, get behind them and turn their guns on anybody who dares question their dickhead behaviour, partly in a bid to attract publicity to their cause, and with no examination whether the behaviour was actually mental welfare or, yes, just dickhead behaviour.

Roos was celebrated for the stance, its no excuse philosophy, and teams around Australia quickly adopted the same mantra even though some, in reality, had difficulty identifying which was which. More than a few snuck in at some joints.

The speed at which players now grasp for the mental welfare card to deflect criticism, many who are playing at the top level of sport where mental toughness is as much a part of success as talent and skill, is the sign of our times.

Maybe they aren’t right for it all along.

:D

You couldn’t make this shit up. Looking at him and listening to him you’d have to say he probably has alcohol issues and mental health issues.

But that quote? Horrible at the time. Even worse now given current events.
