"Is a player that gets an injection to ease the pain on an injury to get through a game too injured to play JPB?

You don;t answer questions because you know it'll blow apart your (basic) football talk "

"Again a quote from Gazza:

nothing anyone could have done to calm me down. The night before I couldn't sleep; I was kicking lampshades pretending they were footballs. Eventually someone called the doctor who gave us a Valium.

..........

OK so Gazza has stated himself that Venables (well no one) could have calmed him down - therefore it couldn't possibly be Venables' fault.

And Gazza says his career was not ruined by that game and that tackle (lunge - not studs up and certainly not 2 footed).

" I don't get why he was blaming Venables for ruining Gazza's career - which in fact was not ruined"

"
I said Gazza was an emotional player and hyped up for the game like he would be for any other big game..."

Page 12 :

"Gazza having an injection to calm him down a bit doesn't mean he was too hyped to play the game.

If Gazza hadn't have been injured during that tackle and went on to score a hat trick - there would have been no false talk of looking like a nutter.

As I and Gazza said - Venables wasn't responsible for ruining Gazza's career (or life like you stated) as that game DID NOT ruin Gazza's career.

"
With regards to the ref - he was sensationalising the 2nd tackle - it was not a red card offence.

He would not have sent him off - no matter what he said in your interview."

Page 13 :

"The second was a yellow challenge at most.

if the ref didn't give a red for his first (much worse) challenge or even a yellow... that's right.... not even a yellow."

"JPB doesn't play by the rules of debate and acts like a coward by making threats (KO) and by not answering questions."

The second one was not a straight red back then and Page 13 :

"I wouldn't say it is now.... I would say 50/50 in today's game.

I've seen a lot worse as yellows. "

"He was outstanding in Scotland for Rangers and as he said he was still getting MOM awards for Everton at 35.

What would have constituted fulfilling his potential?
"

Page 14 :

"how can he say he would have sent him off if he hasn't gone off injured? He didn't go off injured at that point in play. He go up - didn't get even a yellow... Carried on playing and went off at a later stage.
"

"
He can't make a call based on injury... and if he did, as he was saying... then he can't play mystic meg and not send him off (or even book him) because he MAY go off injured a bit later "

"it was a moot point anyway because his career wasn't ruined.... you carry on "

4) Describing the semi's:

"...not surprisingly I was a bit revved up. People said later that Terry Venables should have calmed me down, not let me run on the pitch in that state, but that hyped up condition was normal for me. It was how I usually went on to the field: desperate to do well, all wound up. Terry knew that, and he knew how to handle me"
