Embarrassing'"
Exactly.
A one off is maybe excusable.
To continue to just defy the rules and regulations isn’t.
Talk of “education” makes me laugh these are grown men! How many times do they need educating?

| I just wonder what the rest of the squad that stuck to the rules think of their team mates that flaunted them in the faces of the loyal fans.

| Can imagine most involved will get a fine. However, given his previous antics I think it’s quite clear a change of scenery might be best for Fifita.
If I was Wakey I’d be looking to do a player swap. However clubs might not be as reluctant to want him given the constant issues.

I wonder what the Wakey fans feel like who bought new season tickets and donated Last years season tickets money.

| I have not seen the video but I presume that the party was in a player’s house. I agree what they did was wrong but how many on here can say that they have not broken one of the many laws brought in since March. The players and their spouses are in fact lesser of a risk to the general public than most because they will be regularly tested and spend a lot of time in each other’s company both indoors and out. When they are in the presence of the general public I have no information that they do so in breach of the COVID-19 conditions of wearing a mask etc.
The biggest risk to them and those on here with children is the infections in schools.
I regret that I expect this type of noncompliance will grow among the general public because people are getting frustrated at what appears to be a worsening situation with no actual end in sight. I know we have the vaccine but even this is being questioned because of the suggested extension to the application of the second dose to three months. I even heard today that they were even thinking of mixing vaccines between the two doses.
We are not in a position to go around terminating contracts, which in this case would not be justified even for those with a personal grudge against specific players.
What they did was wrong but they will not be the last.

| Over the new year loads of sports players have been reprimanded for breaking COVID-19 guidelines, think a fine and telling off are the norm in these unprecedented time’s. They’ve been daft and let themselves and the club down but bet they’re not on their own.

Feel like they’ve been daft but don’t get rid they’re good players that can win us matches.

If the management at the club shares your opinion this will strengthen the culture of players thinking they run the show.
If it was the first indiscretion then I agree a fine and a warning would be appropriate.
We know in some cases it isn’t their first or even second discretion though.
At some point to get control back the senior management team have to be prepared to take decisive action or we will forever be in this cycle.

| The ideal time to give the captaincy to Jay Pitts. he was captain at london, he is a local lad and has the respect of most of the players.

Could you enlighten me with regard to these other 'indiscretions'.

| So let's reflect
According to some we have a fat lazy player who's intent on getting away,
A captain who should be stripped of the honour.
A group of players showing no respect to season ticket owners who let the club keep last seasons money.
A serial offender whose a bad influence on other grown men.
An ex captain who should have put a stop to the party.
A concerned Shuds. Supported suggesting a player exchange deal.
A cas supporter feeling ever so sorry for season ticket owners. And the rest of the squad.
Wholesale clearance of the players.
A spell on the wards of an hospital getting in the way of front line workers.
I could go on but it needs to be left to the club.
How about we purchase some stocks and pay a quid to throw rotton fruit and veg at em.

You are absolutely correct and in reality I doubt they put anyone at risk. The Covid rules are riddled with levels of ridiculousness that would embarrass a North Korean.
There is so much hypocrisy and faux outrage over Covid it makes you weep. Take the unchallenged BLM protests that did mor to spread Covid than this pin prick ever will. Truth is as a society we don’t have the guts to go after the real villains in all this, we prefer silly meaningless side shows.
However that’s not the point for two reasons. One is the fact that they simply shouldn’t have broken the law and two they most definitely shouldn’t have advertised it.
I hate the use of the phrase ‘roll models’ it’s crass meaningless nonsense imho. They should be condemned simply for being bad citizens. Sadly like it or not if they were procecuted as such I reckon about 10 million would have been arrested that night.
I rarely turn on players but on this occasion as it stands I really don’t want to see some of these players in a Trinity shirt again. Even if they do come round and start to play a bit I honestly feel I will struggle to support them as much as I’d like to.
As for Dave in particular, you could have been a club legend but due to your attitude all the good stuff you did is being forgotten. Either fit in bog off.

| Quote: Jose "Whilst I think some parts of your answer have merit, you didn’t say who you think the fans would blame if we got relegated having sacked the lot of them?'"
They will blame you MC
But who cares anyway, they will always blame the BOD and the Coach first, many are as bright as some of the layers involved in this.
However, the club must rule the players.
Can you imagine how players like TJ, Crowther and say Batch feel now. They I assume have played to the rules only to see these ‘senior’ clowns behave like this!
If anything will get us relegated it won’t be sacking Fifita it will be disenchanting these lads.

That’s the first good thing to happen this year. Now let’s get to the heart of the issue.
