True, and certainly with the amount of rumoured shagging around you'd think it not possible for him to be plastered that often and hold down being a pro player, but I'm thinking mainly of the headline incidents that have brought him real trouble with tangible consequences.fishfoodie wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 10:43 pmWe can agree to disagree; but my observation can only be that Hogg was clearly not continuously drunk in his marriage, & the court case makes it clear that his behaviour was continuous, & not some intermittent lapse when he was drunksockwithaticket wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 10:30 pmHmm, I've known more than a few who are pleasant until they're in their cups.

Definitely not an excuse for Hogg, mind. Just thinking out loud that if he's to try and turn things around and stop digging his increasingly deep hole, not drinking would be a good start. He clearly makes dreadful decisions and is unable to exert any control over his worst impulses while lashed.
- the bender (and cheating) that saw him given the option to retire rather than be booted out of the Scotland WC squad
- Christmas Time kerfuffle at the wife's house that resulted in restraining order
- this breach of his bail
