Here's a little trip down memory lane . Another interesting fact. Bozza thought that to teach his model girlfriend to stop her coke habit. That each time she would do a line, He would do twice as much.

I love Bozza but that has to be the worst excuse for doing a boatload of blow I've ever heard. Be a man and admit it made you feel great. 

Wow... how bitter. Still angry for anything that happened 20 years ago.

I feel a certain song from a certain childrens movie coming on.


Let it go

Cry more

I feel for Bozza. Met him numerous times and he's a good laugh. When he was young he would've been so impressionable and the fact that he had boatloads of money just fucked with him and he didn't know what to do with it.

I remember before he made his return to Australia that he did an interview on SBS with Les Murray and Craig Foster via satellite. Was kitted out in his Croatia jersey and sweating like a pig, overweight and just a nasty man.

I don't begrudge him being sad about what happened in his life. Going from nothing to the highest most people couldn't dream of (in terms of money and coke) and then losing everything. 

Fair play to the guy, he has mellowed out a bit these days and has a good gig doing the TV stuff. He made some serious mistakes and paid for them dearly. I'm glad I get to hear his goofy laugh every now and then anyway. He still has some pretty shitty social/political views in any case.

I'm a bit disappointed to learn he's a right winger. I just assumed he was normal because I like him on fox sports :(

Poor Bozza.   Had such a hard life with all his millions of dollars, professional football career and model wives.  Feel soz for the fella :(

It is possible to still like people despite their politics.  It doenst have to be the end of friendship.

Why the hate? He did say Wellington bring nothing to the A-League. Maybe we should bring some coke?.

I'd be more surprised if a young, cashed up Aussie pro-footballer wasn't doing coke

I can't stand social conservatives. The constant arguments would certainly mean the end of friendship. There was a guy I liked and respected a while ago who suddenly became a raging alt-righter and a Milo Yiannopolous fanboy. We had a nasty falling out. 

What he did at WHL was disgusting, but what even is this article? It just recounts everything we already knew and ends with "Ultimately, only Bosnich knows exactly what was going through his head when he decided to raise his left arm at supporters"...well, no shit? Weird.

I feel like I've done something to hurt your feelings TSF. Wanna hug it out?

Lol then stop caring about identity politics.

I find it amusing of any of our top sportsmen having made it and that we give credit to when one goes of the rail, a human error of judgement they are labelled forever as a loser, or worst for their code etcetcetc....
We all live by the sword and die by the sword depending on your actions and don't you think they suffer inside greatly, you bet they would, well most do.
I say thank the Lord for the difference.
He made it, he blew it pardon the pun and I admire him still, shame he played for that epl club but good luck to him.
I don't agree with everything he says but you need this type of character to balance the normality/routine people get themselves in.
Just see how much his character comes through on the box, be bloody boring without him or this type of person.
Paid the price and yes how many do indulge that have never got caught regards to the blow.
Don't feel sorry for him as my wife says, he dug his own grave at the time but has moved on.
His goofy laugh is good medicine at times.
Just as Tiger - I admired their talent at the top of their game not what they do behind the scenes.

Oh ok, but I thought you lefties were supposed to be about tolerance, diversity and love and all that?   Or does that exclude conservative white people?  

Definitely excludes most of them. I have no tolerance for bigots, wannabe fascists, or Trump/Abbott supporters.

Anyone who expresses a grievance about the white race being victimized in the West is very likely a racist and the scum of the earth.

Just out of interest, does your no tolerance position extend to Muslims?

Certainly the extreme ones. 

Was going to post this :laugh:

I don't think Bozza's analysis is particularly good and I definitely don't agree with his political views. There is something likeable about him though. I reckon Ned's in a very similar boat.

Rusty is sick of getting very few bites in ET these days by the looks

Isn't that most Muslims?  Most Muslims believe homosexuality should be illegal in not punishable  by death, let along gay marriage legislated. 

I see now, people who have different opinions are intolerant.  Unless they have brown skin and Muslims.

Please go back to extra time where you belong

It's vice..lol

People still don't understand what a fascist is lol . Sad

Yeh,  grab em by the pussy, you incontrovertible genius. 

Wow you sound like a nasty piece of work. 
How does it feel to be a modern day hypocrite?
Screaming about bigotry, yet spews vile hatred against common sense folk who hold traditional judeo Christian western values.
Screams about fascists yet your regressive kind are the ones fighting free speech and free thought, demanding censorship, authoritarian policing of society, brushing negative labels on anyone who is a threat to your delusions.
Grow up
