[Archived] Clarke Carlisle

I don't think so!!

Countdown Conundrum

[Gav]

I didn't see countdown but was sober? that would be a rarity in itself.

Apparently he'd clearly been on the sauce on Friday night after his performance against pompey.

[jim mk2]

Anyone see MotD ? Clarke may be intelligent by footballers' standards but he didn't look too clever against Pompey on Saturday.

Yep! he basically got slated for doing the countdown thing during a season, when his team are sh!te and he was terrible on saturday!

He's forging a great career on TV shows. Last week he was on Countdown and on Saturday he was the Weakest Link.

btw I even heard that from a Dingle.

I'll put that on the site - it's a cracker!!

[colin]

Can anyone deliver a logical reason why a footballer can play on a Saturday & that performance be affected by a pre-recorded quiz show recorded some days before?

Carlisle was on MOTD 2 a few weeks back and he spoke more sense in 5 minutes than the usual punters can manage to spout in a year.

They go ......"He's come & he's hit it with his left peg & he'll be disappointed with that...."

or

"He's entitled to go down."

Groan.

[whittle blue]

Of course he's brainy.He's an ex-Balshavian.

[Billy Castell]

Even though he plays for the wrong team, or perhaps the right team after comments about his most recent performance, Clarke seems a reasonably articulate guy. When at QPR he made an effort to talk to youth players about not living the high life and boozing away like he did when he was younger. At least he's not the usual kind of inane rubbish you get.

If anyone wants a laugh Clarke Carlisle on Countdown

He says his hands are sweaty

[Fylde Coast Fan]

I'm reasonably intelligent and a rubbish footballer, do you think Laws will give me a game at centre half?

[Majiball]

I'd rather go on countdown than pull on that shirt!

If Clarke gets injured you may be in with a shout.

[thenodrog]

The next few games will be a big test of character for him after his savaging on MoTD. His form could go either way.

[Ozz]

Who only played Rugby and not football when I was a lad!

[Tom]

Police have said he's gone missing from his home, seems to be concern over his mental welfare

[Mike E]

Hope he doesn't do anything stupid. Poor bloke has had so many demons. A great shame, being one of the few footballers to seemingly possess a brain.

Lets hope he doesn't.

He attempted suicide previously and it ended very badly for someone else.

[Tom]

Didn't the person that came across the wreckage that time end up taking his own life after being haunted by the scenes 

Tragic 

[jim mk2]

Found safe and well in Liverpool

[Tom]

Great news hope he gets the help he needs
