Not a great surprise from someone writing in The Times…

A steady player for Town, Gregor Robertson. Arguably, right up there in terms of the respect:ability ratio. Or at least he was.

I’m not genuinely not one of those “burn the witch” types, but you can’t condone that. Hands up, I’ve been idiotically drunk many, many times in my life, but even in that altered state I’ve never felt the need to stick a nut on someone. I’m much more of a ‘fall asleep and shít my pants type’, but still.

A Glasgow kiss as it's known. Only he's from the supposedly more genteel Edinburgh.

Unfathomable .
A good sports journalist and always enjoyed reading his column in Times which invariably covered the grass roots of the Professional game
Only consolation is that the incident was almost 3 years ago so I hope what triggered this behaviour has past.
How ridiculous that it takes nearly three years to get to court.

when you have someone who is pretty drunk part of me thinks the Uber driver may have said something when swerving past him which may have made Gregor retaliate.  It then says he ran away from the scene yet was totally drunk he could hardly walk. I think some BS is in there somewhere.

There's a massive backlog in the courts due to Covid but must admit I thought it seemed like a very long time to reach what would have been a trial, had he not owned up. The crime took place pre pandemic! No doubt Gregor waited until the 11th hr to plead guilty so he could keep receiving his pay cheque from The Times for as long as possible.

I used to enjoy reading his column as it was a refreshing antidote to the endless, gushing, fawning and sycophantic media coverage of the Premier League.

I'm very surprised and disappointed that Gregor has the unwanted accolade of joining the Scott Neilson club, as I'm sure he is. What a shame.

Surprised but I'm sure he'll never do anything like that again.

Not great behaviour afterwards and sober is it:

"The judge, Mr Recorder David Jeremy QC, called into question whether Robertson had shown 'absolute remorse'.He said: "This is a man who gave a no comment interview, leaving his options open, then only pleaded guilty on the day of trial.

"It's difficult to accept he shows any remorse, let alone absolute remorse. He in effect played the system."




When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
