One of the other occupants is Anthony D'Alberto, a U21 defender of RSCA Anderlecht. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,055 Posted February 3, 2015 Those of us who had come to the conclusion that we'd wasted a DDP pick on Frank van den Bleeken may take heed from this interview with his sister, that says he's still seeking euthanasia. I'd have thought we'd probably still need to go through at least two court battles before he can leave this mortal coil, but I'd still make him a 50/50 shot to go this year. Can our Belgian community on here tell us if this story is big over there or is it just something we've latched on to because it involves a potential stiff?

Spade_Cooley 9,055 Posted February 4, 2015 The Netherlands is refusing to accept Big Bad Frank within its borders, which was part of the reasoning behind not letting him end it all in the first place. This one's gonna run and run in a pretty tedious manner I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,397 Posted February 5, 2015 As I understand it, this situation can be resolved by finding a physician willing to the deed. I know euthanasia is a touchy subject in Roman Catholic circles, and the church still has some oomph in Belgium, but I don't quite see the problem. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,055 Posted May 31, 2015 A new decision on the Frank van den Bleeken case may be made on Wednesday. Or it might not. Basically, the Dutch don't want him, so hopefully the Belgian justice minister will do the right thing by dead poolers and give him a bottle of gin and three packets of mogadon.
