Default Update on tiling situation

Evenin gents

Right after a few hours more of getting the tiles off I managed to finish
it, thankfully I was only at work half a day today. So I had the afternoon
to figure it out, well smack tile, tile fall.

Ok so all the tiles are removed, the plasterboard is erm... damaged beyond
repair, or bodge ... especially on the tap end where it just kind flew
off and I am back down to bare brick!!!

I Thought oopps, this is not going very well, so I thought no being DIY
minded maybe remove all the loose bits get some expansion foam fill it and
sand it down and rough it up and put the new tiles ontop ?

I'm sure thats not how to fix it but not knowing any better its all can
think of.

....My brother in law whos living in our spare room hiding from his wife has
just said, I should cut the old plasterboard out completely as "it's F****D"
and then buy some more plasterboard, and stick it to the wall or install
battens that would make it flush with the other surface with plastering
adhesive. Leave to dry over night and tile on top ?

.... its turned into one of those jobs I wish I never started ... what a
sole crushing experience removing tiles is. Hindsight I wish I just cut the
plasterboard out and avoided all that banging about as I'm not going to cut
it out.... huff

Advice welcomed.

Wonders of he will be able to fit plasterboard into a mk4 golf ... hmmm
wonder if I can cut it in the car park ... and just keep joining piece by
piece up ?

Hopefully the tiles will hide the join marks.
