themaninblack 2,112 Posted November 21, 2005 I voted yes as well. Even though George is critically ill, he has demonstrated an extrodinary will to live and hopefully it will be enough to get him through this year. Rather he has an extraordinary will to get another G & T down his throat... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millwall32 114 Posted November 22, 2005 I voted yes as well. Even though George is critically ill, he has demonstrated an extrodinary will to live and hopefully it will be enough to get him through this year. Do leave off. How is drinking yourself to death demonstrating the will to live? millwall, I wish you would read my post before commenting on it. I meant the "will to live" in the context of George continuing to fight his illness while in critical condition. Many people had thought that he was going to die 3 weeks ago and had written him off, but he is still alive. Fair comment. But it was an ambiguous post on your part.

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted November 22, 2005 Ive ranted on about this pathetic wa**nker elsewhere plenty , but as he is now going to die I hope here's one last word.This man has become the icon that destroyed football and introduced us to the drunken fan , he also has a part in propogating the culture that is accpeted as normal behaviour , go out and get falling down drunk , start a fight , throw up , get arrested , and embarrass yourself and your sountry . Cracking just another friday night out. He has wasted probably the best opportunity a celebity has had to promote tyhe causes and effects of alcoholism , to raise awarness and money for treatment and to put and end to our drink culture . This man is guilty of a wasted life , good riddance , and I for one will be dropping by to p*ss on his grave. Oh yeah , I am an alcoholic , I am sober . Hell, and I thought he was just a gifted footballer who'd f***ed up his life. That's a lot to lay at one celebrated alcoholic's door when loads of others, from Oliver Reed to high street pub chains, have done their bit to promote the party culture too. Oh yeah, and since when was George Best famous for 'starting' fights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest iain Posted November 22, 2005 Look slike George may last till 2006 after all! Hes now started to regain consciousness and is responding to people around him.Too early to say hes going to survive this,but there is hope it seems! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lady Die 63 Posted November 23, 2005 Doctors say he's unlikely to make a full recovery. Not quite sure what that means but it sounds promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bridge over the River Styx 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Would be ironic if he died today, when pubs and clubs get longer opening hours! I suspect that George's fantastic will to live and the introduction of 24 hour drinking are not unconnected. He better croak it by the end of the year: I have a curry riding on this one.

Canadian Paul 97 Posted November 24, 2005 "Unlikely to recover" could be a good sign for DL. In my experience what that's meant is that the patient tends to stave off death for the moment and linger for a while until their body finally gives up. It may also be a good sign that the day I renew my picks for my Rotten Deadpool is the same day as his birthday - May 22... if anyone wants to read into that.

Lady Die 63 Posted November 24, 2005 No improvement this morning. The doctors have said that he can't keep hanging on indefinitely if he doesn't improve. "Worst night yet" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IKYWN 6 Posted November 24, 2005 Maybe he knows about us and is hanging on in case he ends up on the 2006 list. Then he can curl his toes up on Jan 1st and have the honour of being the first to pass of the New Year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
