Raoul Moat/John Rambo

It will all be Ok, Gazza has brought some fishing rods with him, and some cans of Lager. Result.

From the Telegraph site

The retired footballer, 43, said he was a "good friend" of Moat and had brought him a "can of lager, some chicken, a mobile phone and something to keep warm".

Reacting with shock to the news Gascoigne was in Rothbury, his agent Kenny Shepherd said: "He's doing what? I am sitting having an evening meal in Majorca. I'm speechless."

Genius

Deleted double post oddness

Yeah pmsl when they appeared on tv early a classic pic.

Gazza:
'I've brought him a dressing gown, a fishing rod and, you'll laugh, a can of lager… I'll have a chat with him'

That'll sort it then!

Haha poor gazza.

Drac he told me he went to Rothbury for a quiet life and a safe place for him, Tracy and the kids 😯

I can't believe Gazza has turned up, truly bizzare. Apparently he took moat a can of lager and a bit chicken! He could do with another spell in a secure unit poor bloke

What gazza actually said was:
"Yerno, i'veee knern moat fur a wyle like. He wus alwayz a birrof a gent lyke, so somewunz ryled him or something". He was bloody wrecked by the sound of him. 😕

Yeah that was the plan White. Currently it'll be like he never left.

this update on here is better than the beebs own one

The mrs said to me at 9.30, I'm bored with the telly what does stw say about this…..

Dear sky,

Stepping stones are usually in rivers not on the road.

skills guiding

why am i any of them?

'the trunk of a tree, looks like steel super structure' ????? with leaves growing out of it???? come on Sky I know its been a long shift but ffs

Rambo III is on ITV4.

It's the one where he fights off those nasty people who invade Afghanistan…

Blimey I got his location spot on. All that based on a manhole cover.

Drac-give sky some decent pics if you end up there, or even better get on telly with
"I knew where he was from the man hole cover" 10 bonus points if you get STW into the interview 😉

He's behind you……

skills guiding why am i the afore mentioned men?

Haha. If I was to end up there we'll be tucked around the corner at the tennis courts.

good to see the local councillor looking smart on the tv at midnight, clearly a career politician in the making.
just seen the weather forecast, doesn't look good for the nght ahead.

I'll make no comment on the councillor. Yeah raining for the first time in weeks.

His comments about the potential tourism boost for the area were particularly galling.

Thing is he's right it'll have the harry potter effect.

Fourcross. Your earlier statements on weapons,damage levels,armour….

Given the circumstances (1 dead, 2 seriously injured) it's not the thing to say, particularly from a councillor.

Like I say I won't comment on a local councillor. Draw your own conclusion based on that comment if you'd like to.

thing is these 'opportunities' come along few and far between for local councillors or indeed local media and they have to make the most of a situation to improve the cv. its a sad inditement, but all to common.

I was at the ACPO conference in Manchester last week and saw Sue Sim wandering around, my colleague said ' is she an extra from that gene hunt show?, all that 80's hair thing gong on'

**** hell. Why are the rozzers so shit with anything involving a firearm?
They're even trained by the best, so that's no excuse.
Spineless or brainless, gotta be. Should leave the big boy stuff to big boys I say and take the police far, far away from lethal weapons.

?? expand on that, not sure i get you point

gazza

😯

shit gazza needs some help, thats just fubar.

i was in the same restaurant as gazza last night, should have got his autograph- might have been the last one he ever gives.
he also went to the toilet about 5 times, so he's probably still high as a kite 'i know what will stop a man topping himself- a spot of fishing and a tinny' 😆

Type Raoul Moat into Google Maps.

Why the police didn't do this earlier I don't know.

So he's been shot, no idea who by. Here's hoping he's just injured and recovers enough to go to prison.

Gazza last spotted trying to get into the hospital with his fishing rods and a bag of casters !

BBC now reporting that he's shot himself.

All over sad story but at least no other people were hurt.

A troubled mind is at rest now.

A guest-house owner, who did not want to be named, told the BBC: "He actually said, the one thing that sticks in my mind, 'I haven't got a dad'… and he also said that, 'nobody cares about me.'"

From the Beeb.

After everything, he was a human being too. Sad indeed.
