Rumour Steven May: 'personal issues' and drinking

[GC2015]

Do we believe it? Are there people out there that know more? If so, do the 'personal issues' justify drinking while in rehab?

I will add that he was out drinking on the Gold Coast the weekend before round 1 this year as well.

Alcoholism

 

[Devastating Boris]

He wanted to do some personal shit with some mates over 3-4 beers. Such a beat up this story.

Alcoholism

Are you just throwing that out there or is that genuinely a rumour?

The percentage play would be moving back to Melbourne exposed him to more women who knew who he was, putting strain on existing relationships.

I’m sure there’s a lot of schadenfruede when he left the Suns and has done absolutely nothing at a shit Demons team. But he still deserves to be able to have a few beers. And whoever took the photo is a genuine loser who is probably such a social beta and isolated weirdo they’ve never seen out a single footballer in ****ing Melbourne, let alone shitty Richmond which for some reason appeals to footballers. Odd.

Also don’t get why you can’t drink during rehab. Surely it’s easier to be hungover with a sore leg than it is running the next morning? How much does it seriously affect rehabilitation? Not much.

But yeah using ‘personal issues’ is hugely offensive but again bigfooty will defend it and say how hard his life possibly is. The reasons for his ‘struggles’ is that he’s playing shit footy and Melbourne are too. That’s not a genuine personal issue. Everyone has low points and disappoints... everyone does every day. Absolute rort. When is a journalist going to call this out?

Seriously can you please stop these posts?

You constantly come in and allude as though there’s some extra exciting salacious rumour only you know about.

You’re implying he’s ****ing lots of women and cheating on his partner because he’s back in Melbourne.

Number one... is that the case? And why don’t you just come out and say it, instead of talking in complete maths and riddles like you always do, giving off illusions of intellect and football insight?

Number two... who gives a shit if he’s doing things he shouldn’t. I thought you were above gossip?

 

[Dunger]

If Steven May has personal issues due to the consumption of a few beers, im absolutely stuffed and i dare say most of this board would have personal issues.

For all the terrible things a footy player or coach can do, drinking beer is not one of them.

He owes no apology.

 

[captain cotch 9]

I think its a misconception that clubs have alcohol bans during the year these days.
Players need to be able to enjoy life.
The story is the scum that took the photo

 

[Reality IS]

Its re the "cultural" issues with the booze that are well known for people of indigenous backgrounds.

 

[Private Hudson]

Maybe these guys wouldn’t have so many personal issues if they weren’t publicly shamed for having a quiet beer. Talk about making a mountain of a mole hill.

That’s why he was pushed out of the Suns

I gather he’s had some recent relationship break down. Gone for 3-4 beers with some mates possibly as he was a bit down and his mates thought it was a good idea.
Someone takes a photo sends it to the media. A story drops. What Melbourne have done is a reasonably small reaction. They couldn’t leave it untouched. He’s only had to explain himself to the playing group. And attend some counselling.
I doubt there’s anymore to this story. But if the rules are no alcohol while part of the rehab group then he needs to follow the rules.
He has some hard work to do from here.

Richmond is a pretty trendy suburb these days.

Richmond is a pretty trendy suburb these days.

Haha have you been around Bridge Rd Coles lately? Daggiest shopping centre in Australia.

 

[evo]

Thats in the day near the housing commission - just like round the housing commission in Carlton, Collingwood, Flemington and Pahran, Sth Melbourne of course its daggy round those places

Cremorne and the Miicro Brewries down near the Yarra in East Richmond are the trendy parts.

 

[Devastating Boris]

If he’s having personal issues and he’s asked his mates to hang out, he should be commended, not criticised. I don’t care if Goody’s mrs dressed up as Stewy Dew and gave him a tongue bath. Who cares? It’s fantastic he reached out.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

Never understood the no drinking in rehab rule. If it’s good enough for those going through extended injury layoffs, surely it’s good enough for the rest of the list.

It's been trendy for a long time but it sucks arse. The pubs are absolutely terrible. Either 'yep we're a fooooooty pub!' with lukewarm bloated parmas and $12.50 pints of Coopers or pretentious wine bars stinging $9 for the same thing but 'sorry, we only do schooners.'

Shit suburb to drink in, terrible suburb to drink in actually. Footballers are the only morons who think it's cool.

Yes, I absolutely believe this was the dialogue.

May: 'boys I'm feeling terrible, so low, isolated... life doesn't feel worth it... I'm having thought I've never had... can we catch up?'
Delisted hanger-on #1: 'wow, Steve, are you alright?'
Delisted hanger-on #2: '****, the Colonel Arms at 3pm?'
May: 'would mean a lot, let's do it'

And they all sat down there talking about his uh, serious mental issues such as his manic depression. Yep.

ffs he's some sook who was playing shit footy, had a few beers. Instead of telling the media to shut the **** up about a non-issue, his club has helped him with the get-out card. 'Say you're having mental issues! No one will prod it!'

I can't believe how the public is seriously letting this industry paint mental illness like this.

 

[Silent Alarm]

That’s why he was pushed out of the Suns

A club moved on their captain because he was rooting other women?

Why is that in the interest or importance of the Gold Coast Suns? It's worked well for them but just about every AFL footballer would have done this. They're young blokes with massive egos and no brains.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

If he wants to be a lad he needs to learn to be a little more discreet about things.
Doing stupid shit in full view of the public isnt real bright.

 

[ShadeyP]

yep , if people were ****ing normal

 

[regpies]

If he arrived at the Dees in proper shape and was playing good footy this wouldn’t be a story. But when you are on huge coin, show up unfit, get suspended, then injured. You draw attention to yourself

 

[Barunga Bullet]

he isn't the only melbourne player seen out drinking when supposedly injured this year. Who cares
