How about that? No fines/suspensions needed, but a useful reminder of the world they live in. I'm amazed that a group of Championship footballers, and two no mark ugly ladies are even news. It's more of a knock on the world we live in, rather than the City players. I can't imagine they thought they were going to be the focus of the paparazzi when they rocked up yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Luke is a nice bloke,many say he is,so its fair to say a nice fella that has behaved naïvely.. But Luke,an athlete!!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT's Vaseline Tub Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The players represent the club and the community and in a relegation battle this day out may not be the best choice for R&R time. The Club need to remind the players of their responsibilities but if Ashton was there then that's null and void I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatwasclose Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Seriously the overall reaction in here is shocking and sad at the same time. There is something called class but I guess that cant be expected from football players who whether they like it or not represent their club on and off the pitch. If Luke had been grinning standing next to someone doing something positive and been on the front pages we all would have been loving it so that just shows me we have a lot of hypocrites on here. To those in employment and report to someone, what would have been your managers thoughts if you had been pictured next to the offending player smiling away as he did his deed? I doubt it would have been hi fives all round, or if you were going to an interview and were identified as the friend who was laughing away? Doubt you'd get the job regardless of how good your interview went. So what does that tell us about this incident then? It doesn't look good no matter how you try to spin or justify it. Sure, they are not role models but is it too much to expect that professionals behave in a reasonable manner in public in broad daylight? I guess according to you folks these are the headlines that we should be proud off, Its not like we need good publicity given all the players who have been turning us down left right and centre.

Up The City! Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Whatever way you look at this our club has found itself in the national media, Ok Luke didn't carry out this act but some people will just read the headlines. We are in a relegation fight, with the rebuild the club is working hard to build a positive image of this club. We now find that image being tarnished. In players contracts it will have stipulations of how they are to behave at all times as they are always representing the club. Unfortunately Luke has breached this just by well being pretty close to the deed and appearing to find it funny. It's up to the club now how they deal with this. We are either going to see an apology or a dismissal to show we will not under any circumstances tolerate this sort of behaviour from our employees. It will also send out a message to our sponsors. Unfortunately for these players LJ was a player himself and acted as the ultimate professional during his playing career. He will be disappointed by this.

Hes an idiot that lad so next time we wont hang out with him we'll ask you along next time" On a serious note, I would like to think that the players are made aware that they represent the club and, difficult thought it might be for them ( and some of the fans) to accept, that does mean when they are out in their own time, particularly when they attend high profile public events. It looks to me as though this incident was a question of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it's resulted in our players, perhaps unfairly, being dragged into unwelcome publicity as a result of the actions off others. However, if they want to enjoy £1/4m + pa salaries and the lifestyle that goes with it, then it seems a reasonable trade off to make sure they do not do anything that will adversely impact on the club, because as we have seen they were referred to as Bristol City players, not just mentioned by their own names. Yes, they are 20something lads, enjoying a day at the races like many other 20 somethings will have done. Unfortunately all the other 20 somethings are not professional footballers, who are right in the firing line whenever they are seen to overstep the mark when out in public gaze. Now, If the Queen's granddaughter got legless, got her baps out for the lads or peed over the balcony ....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the argument whether they were directly involved really comes into it. FFS, naïve about what, exactly? Do you want to re-read my posts. The two lads have been complete *****s, it's disgusting. You prove to me that Ayling, or any of the other City lads, have done anything wrong and I'll become as sanctimonious as you. I don't doubt the club will be pissed off, but why? Ayling is getting slaughtered for being stood by two idiots - that wasn't an offence, or naïve, or having your head in the clouds, last time I looked. You must be knackered come the end of day, upholding everyone's moral judgement on their behalf There's far bigger things in life to worry about than who Luke Ayling knocks around with at a horse racing festival.
