Inspector Lestrade Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 5 minutes ago, Sergeant Tibbs said: Taking that today's reports are true, I'm sick of the circus that comes with this clown. Whether this issue is down to ignorance or arrogance, it strikes me that he has little respect for his employers and the fans. Many will defend him due to his exploits in his first season here. That was 3 years ago. His value is decreasing season by season, I'll be glad when he's gone. How will it affect the club? It's hardly going to set the world alight the only fans who will be affected are the sensitive Wednesday ones. Mountain out of molehill springs to mind.

This was always going to take months. He will get a six-game ban. The FA already did. That’s why he missed 3 matches in September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Whilst I understand that some people think the player should be moved on there is one point that always needs to be remembered... A younger replacement with a better reputation would cost us considerably more than we would be able to recoup for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Tibbs Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 4 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: Always something with him unfortunately. Immensely talented but should have cashed in when he refused to play against Norwich two years ago. His attitude is probably why he isn’t playing at the top level. On ability he’s the best I’ve seen at Wednesday (I don’t remember Di Canio, Waddle or Carbone) The next think I expect to hear is that the club haven't supported him and he wants away. That would be Di Canio-esque. Im sorry you get chance to see Waddle mate, or for that matter Terry Curran. Different gravy. But it sounds like your young enough to see one or two great players in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbirks Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Ched Evans is charged with rape = Owlstalk shriek that he is guilty before being charged, and continue to after he is acquitted FF is charged with threatening behaviour and racially aggravated harassment = Owlstalk call it 'a load of fuss over nothing', despite the ire of Mansfield players being evident both on the pitch and afterwards. What partisan hypocrisy. Any potential crime must be investigated, and unless you're in the courtroom you know nothing about guilt. Also, it is not Mansfield FC that have put this before a Magistrates' Court but the Crown Prosecution Service, and they do so on the basis of believing there is enough evidence to secure a conviction. Talk of boycotting Mansfield is pathetic; if someone abused Joao or Palmer you'd be screaming for it to be properly investigated. The guy was an embarrassment to our club that day, and his actions today - if deliberate - show he has no respect for SWFC's reputation, his own, our law, our legal system (if it is a load of nothing he'd get off!) or his victim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In modern day Britain, rightly or wrongly racism is seen as a far worse offence than physical violence, especially in sport. Really? Is that a fact or just your opinion? I would think you have more chance of being sent to prison if you physically assault someone as opposed to racially abusing them. Can you provide the evidence to back up your claim? I would also think that the overwhelming amount of people would think that physical evidence is worse than racist abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash77 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Should have sold him, lets the club down repeatedly, no class or respect, why not just turn up and deny charges then likely no further action. Now they may want to make an example if a high profile name for contempt of court and jail him for a few weeks! Will probably get sent down once his latest injury clears up Got a di canio ring to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accepting the perils of FFP, and some footballers don't live in the real world, how much crap do we have to put up with. I don't think we can afford to replace the talent, bit we should be able to look beyond that. Lest we forget - Refusing to play. His discipline, which attracts the wrong type of attention from referees. His ability to fall over. Punching a team mate in training. Talk of racist comments. What's next ?
