I don't want this to turn into a who's had what thread but in my experience, neither ecstacy, speed or cocaine are performance enhancing. In my experience the heightened alertness, enhanced reaction time and energy spike are perceived rather than actual.
Please can this turn into a thread on perceived experiences vs actual experiences and what reality may or may not be!
They're a lucky dip really.
I've played the best golf ever and I mean ever although putting was an issue, had great conversations, solved the worlds problems ( yes, really ) and wandered around forever etc... ah the good old days - but half the time I reckon they're just a placebo. The mind is a powerful thing.
I've seen worse behaviour from people on the grog and we see it EVERY day.
Politics, religion and drugs are topics that polarise people ( as we can't be unbiased about all three ) so never the Twain shall meet.
Johnny Raper is an immortal but most old timers will tell you "he's the man in the bowler hat". I'd rather someone on the disco biscuits trying to chew my ear off than a pissed idiot with his gear off in public or punching on.
It seems these days if you "own up" to ever having a spliff or line or eccy you're deemed a drug addict that can't be forgiven and forever branded, but if get you on the p!ss every night that's socially acceptable.
Either way, 9/10 playing a game of footy on the p!ss or eccies or a hangover from either isn't gonna help too much in my opinion.
Joey's a legend and always will be. Surely his football nous can only help.
And surely our commitee, CEO etc have done their due diligence on his employment bona fides and the pro's far outweigh the cons, but for some of you my opinion won't matter because I've just admitted to having the occasion dabble when I was younger.
