Career going down the pan now... I hope he gets beaten soon.

Yeah breaking news on skysports news. And teletext has said that a statement is expected later from Harrison's team to reveal the reasons.

fornicate, whats his problem? :x

liamlion · Post by **liamlion** » 16 May 2006, 09:12

Is it possible bail conditions have meant he cant travel to Belfast or could he have something in his blood stream that wont pass before Saturday?

allegedly has just been quoted as saying Harrison has "Mental problems". While Maloney has been reported as saying "Scott is very upset and I would go as far as to say I dont think he realises what is going on at the moment."

Jesus the poor lad sounds out of it. He certainly looks ill, and from what Maloney says it doesnt sound too good neither.

Dunno when the photo is from for sure, but it's from itv's news site today, so I assume it's recent, possibly last day or two.

He looks like Alex Higgins with a skinhead.

Well, I think it's clear then that Scott has some problems he needs to deal with, either alchohol related or some form of mental illness he has to have treatment for. Either one is no joke, and let's hope he gets himself sorted out before his career or worse his life is wrecked. He's still fairly young, there's time to turn his life around and get on with what he does best.

If this is the end of Harrison then I'm gutted. Granted he might no be the most entertaining fighter ever but when he's gone who are we going to have to watch up here? Anderson won't fight here very often due to tight wad Gilmour. Warren's on about taking AAA on the road. We'll be left with no one.

Hope everyone can sit down with Scott and get things sorted.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 16 May 2006, 09:53

I've always found Harrison pretty entertaining to watch, and whilst I've never rated him as being one of the very top men in his division, he's one of the gamest fighters I've ever watched, heart of a lion and tough as old boots.

Well there were rumours he was found to be in possession of illegal substances so quite possible they have pulled out so he wont be tested.

He could just be a 'ned' as well Jim...

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 16 May 2006, 10:17

Even ned's can turn their lives around, they aren't subhuman or owt. For scott to be going off the rails like he is, sounds to me like he's got problems, he's a rich man, with a successful career, and he's getting into scrapes all the time. At the least it seems he has a drink problem, and who knows what else?

Lenny · Post by **Lenny** » 16 May 2006, 10:19

Doesn't Harrison always look unwell before a big fight due to making weight? I think the fact he hasn't shaved and a lack of sleep just makes him look even worse.

Cannibal · Post by **Cannibal** » 16 May 2006, 10:23

Yeah, Harrison is entertaining and old school. Harrison doesn't care where he lands a punch as long as it lands. He'll hit elbows, shoulders, anything. He does from the start what a lot of better fighters fail to do when they run out of ideas and it upsets peoples rhythm to have this guy coming forward at you.

Maloney says "Scott is very upset and I would go as far as to say I don't think he realises what is going on at the moment.’’

Doesn’t sound good does it.

Warren is quoted as being ‘livid’ but is promising the show will go ahead.
Wonder what Boxing Chat is doing right now?

You never get this type of post from BC:

I have heard on the grapevine that Harrison has gone mental and has left Frank fuming; high and dry.

Danny Williams will deputise but with his well know love of pies will he be fit?

Between Fray Bentos and Mr Kipling, Danny is salivating at the choice of stand in opponents...
