shame, I despise people who have the best natural ability and just squander it, that really bugs me.

[merv]

Bloody shame. There is a lesson about drug use in there I am sure

[denill]

Well that's been an absolute waste of absolute talent. It's down the drain now!

And yeah, you're probably right Merv.

I bumped in to a ex-GP racer (from the 70's) who lives in ChCh 6mths of the year who has had a bit to do with Gobert. He told me and my friend a sad tale of a great racer who now was involved in some very bad shit and had squandered every chance given to him.

Shame. O how the mighty can come crashing down.

I've met Gobert a few times, and he's a total tosser. Talented beyound imagination, but a tosser no less.

A bit like the fat cricketer, eh.

Very sad that such a talented rider could have fallen so far. I'm sure everybody gets down on their luck at times, but robbing the elderly of forty bucks?

Fuck, he really is down on his luck..........

Yep, that goes for me too.

I used to will him on to suceed whenever he was thrown his many lifelines. But yeah, he's just a fucked up losing tosser!

I'm afraid I'm a bit the same way

So much talent.........so little .....(fill in space here)

That's life, I guess......

[CHOPPA]

The mans an idiot and is now exactly where he deserves to be...........in the gutter. There's nobody to blame for his situation other than him.

[BarryG]

Thanks for that clip - just a reminder, really, of what could have been........

I posted this to the WERA forum today, no point in writing twice:

Apparently his brothers want/have nothing to do with him. It sounds like his Mum is his only supporter, but she must be at the end of her rope.
I worry a bit on another note - my quite elderly, though far from feeble, parents go to Surfer's for the NZ winter. Scum like this preying on the elderly makes my blood boil. I don't care who Anthony Gobert once was, he's a cowardly petty thief who won't do anything to help himself to get free of the shackles of addiction. He should be locked up and kept away from my Mum and Dad - and everyone else's Mum and Dad.
Such a waste of an incredible talent.

Cheers
Barry

unfortunatly for some adreniline junkies..they can't help themselves..always looking for the next fix..no matter what form its in!


The stink think is..he'll hurt alot more people..and turn a hell of alot more people against himself before he will maybe sort his shit out..if he does at all.
But he is by no means a isolated case of a substance abuser..and there will be far far more out there..worse case's than him by far..its just that he is/was in the public eye..so we hear about it. which in someways might not be a bad thing if he publicly humiliated..mite make him do something about it!
