set of sad people.

Dont talk rubbish you t1t

look, we are only being fed what the media think will sell papers, there are two sides to every story. as for joe bloggs in the street being attacked, if you conduct yourself in a manner not to attract idiots like cockayne, the chances are you will not be involved in an altercation. there are too many people jumping on bandwagons at the moment!

Just out of interest, would the same apply regardless of the crime comitted?

What would that acheive, really? He's not the first and he's definitely not the last. He's received his punishment, let's just move on!

Because the idea behind any sanction is to make a stance against the violent act he carried out, if we sack him and he signs for another SL club, who is punished, certainly not the player. I take your point about not wanting a thug in the squad, but lets face it there are numerous players still plying their trade who have had similar convictions. I doubt you are niave enough to think that if we sack him not one other club will come knocking after a few weeks.

the lad is well known for been an idiot and trouble maker.

And that matters because?

So the guy asked for the kicking?

Best kick the crap out of him then

It would back up our sports reputation of being a family sport and maybe deter any players in the future of this kind of behaviour. He is a role model to lots of kids etc Our sport doesnt need this.

He may have received his punishment from the courts but thats rubbish, he doesnt deserve to have adoring Rovers fans watching him and cheering his name etc. He deserves to be in prison sharing his cell with someone who nicknames him precious!!
