Major Isewater Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 1 hour ago, Rossi the Robin said: Spitting should be banned whether it’s directed at anyone fullstop Constantly seeing players and managers do it every game disgusts and bemuses me It is not terribly civilised but when you engage in high physical activity your body excretes mucous from the nose and mouth and unless you have several big hankerchieves up your sleeve you're never going to get rid of it all without spitting. Most footballers do seem to have turned it into an art form though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I wonder if the club already knew that this was possibly going to happen what with the 'difficult summer' comment by LJ? No I'm not looking to criticise, just asking a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in this off season . As you can imagine, personally , I am disturbed by the mismanagement of the disabled persons parking situation . Not arguing with your sentiments, but I couldn't see the club being too bothered about the fallout from this spitting incident to the extent it moved him on at all costs, as they dont appear to give a shit about what the public thinks on any given subject ! I daresay unless the PFA gets involved the club can reasonably fine him his wages as he has made himself unemployable for 6 weeks but I guess the contract is king in such matters.

When Masuaku of West Ham was guilty of the same thing a few months back, they were only allowed to fine him 2 weeks wages. They wanted to hand out a bigger punishment but were bound by the terms of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Big call , but if you are SL do you now hold out on Bobby Reid and say sorry you’re not going until Jan and risk losing a substantial fee Sounds OTT but If we start poorly next season LJ , and SL are going to be under massive pressure Big Call now and maybe LJs most crucial 2 months of his managerial career to date IMHO Problem for him is its all about the recruitment now that may ultimately decide his destiny here , and as we know others are involved in that process Some big decisions coming , and some telling times unfortunately we have as supporters have zilch influence and can only look on from behind the fence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bizarre analogy. Silly from Pato but clearly no intention of disrespect. He’s just on auto pilot moments before a game. It was deliberately a silly analogy but no more silly than you linking Paterson with an elite athletic event, that is something I would love to see. As for the last sentence you make your claim as if you know that to be a fact, if 'elite athlete Paterson' cannot control his spitting not once but twice for 1 minute something is sadly wrong. Maybe he has Steve Ovett's Pseudo asthma where his body produces more phlegm than it can deal with, that might account for his piss poor 4 months? (yes I know that's silly as well).

It’s the second highest level of professional football in the country, so of course it is. As I say not the brightest of moves - he could have held it in for 60 seconds - but hardly anything to get worked up about. At that point in time his mind would have been 100% on the match and be in autopilot you’d expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it’s silly. Just pointing out that it’s notmal for players to clear themselves of excess saliva pre and during games, it’s something that’s so much part of the game that it’s almost automatic, the same way we breathe, or cough, or scratch an itch without consciously thinking to do it Laughing during a minutes respect is the more bizarre one.

As I clarified in a later post - I am in no way at all condoning this abhorrent act. no place for it at all at AG or in the game.

It’s a horrible thing to do and rightly condemned. Ban and a fine absolutely bit transfer listed or sacked for it? Behave. You see players commit fouls with only one intention - seriously injuring a fellow pro. You see fellow pros deliberately attempt to cheat their fellow pros multiple times every single game. And more furore is caused over someone having a momentary loss of judgement and doing this. It’s abhorrent and should rightly be punished severely if proven but calls for transfer listing/sacking is a massive overreaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayOutWest Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Strange. But I remember seeing it. I thought at the time " did Fam just spit at him". I was jet lagged and on the cider all day. I just thought my eyes decieved me. Nah I thought. He wouldn't do such a thing. However perhaps not. Disgusting though. Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't agree with the first comment ZE, if someone spat at me or one of mine I would be apoplectic! As for the 2nd bit, I haven't said he should be transferred, nor do I want him listed, just that it wouldn't surprise me if he were listed because of this. All about the purity and reputation of 'the brand'! Utter hogwash I know but it wouldn't surprise me if the shiny suited one has an ego big enough to do something that daft IMHO.

Aye wouldn't surprise me either. What with him saying that he's got links in the PL and Turkey, it's almost like we knew this report was going to come out, he's been told he's being moved on, and it's not quite as big a surprise as the club are making out.
