They must have known they were breaching club rules otherwise Gary wouldn't be taking the stance he has.I'm not being judgemental, just stating the obvious.

RedM Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 The club has fined them the maximum allowed, that's the seriousness of it. Well done to the club for taking this stance. I bet Gary is livid, they are all players that we really need and as people have said will be missed. We don't know what went on regarding the incident but I am shocked and am in disbelief that they haven't learnt from previous alledged similar incidents. As well as the fact that GJ seems a zero tolerence type of manager. Orr and Brown are 2 of my favourite players at the moment but i will be first to say that if they are guilty they deserve the punishment, and more. Partridge wouldn't even have been there if he weren't suspended either.I was really looking forward to the match on saturday, now I can't approach it in the same way. It's not GJ's fault I feel like that it's those players. I feel ashamed they are our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mercury Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 When we got rid of the likes of Doherty and Coles (for bad attitudes and 'social' problems), Tinman was to blame for not being firm enough, not having the respect of the players, and letting things slide. Now we have three players 'arrested', even though GJ made a point in his first day as manager about the 'social' side of playing for bcfc not being acceptable, and everyone says fair play to GJ for fining them, and not concidering them for Saturday. would you say these players have lost respect for GJ already?If we lose on Saturday, because these players are missing, who will get the blame I wonder.

Guest Frank Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 What hope is there ? Well, if we continue to recruit unprofessional ****wits like those three, there isn't a lot of hope is there ?They've now ensured that we will struggle against Tranmere at a time when the team is just beginning to pull together. Load of good work undone, don't under-estimate the damage this will have done.The other players, especially those who have been lucky not to be caught out up to now, need to be left in absolutely no doubt what will happen if they do the same - fine 'em heavily, slap 'em on the list, get some loanees in, and leave 'em to train with the kids. No other player would even consider going out on the urine till the early hours and getting into that sort of trouble if that were to happen.Harsh ? Knee-jerk reaction ? Over the top ?No. Just groundhog day.Wait for the heartfelt apologies delivered in the usual way "...let down the fans, club etc etc etc...", then they have a laugh about it. Don't take any prisoners Gary - because if you do, they will see you out of the door.If this had happened under Tinnion we'd have had posts on here about how Tinnion can't manage players and get their respect.Yet this has happened under Gary Johnson, who strikes me as someone every player and fan thinks can manage and who has the respect of everyone.It makes you wonder, it really does.

Orr made a successful move to defence after playing mostly reserve football lately, Partridge also has prooved himself and without Brown we are lacking that spark.Whether or not the incident they were arrested for is true or not it sounds like they had breached the discliplinary code anyway?

The only people that get into fights are those willing to participate of those who get beaten up.Yes they do earn a lot of money and as long as they do the business on Saturday thats ok I don't know what they have done I suppose it was fighting?.Even football players must let their hair down now and then, they are young men not monks?.Also it was mid-week with no game until Saturday so why should they not go out on the p--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider head Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Come on these lads are just the same as most young men they have a few drinks and let there hair down,some times it gets out of control but you can see that most week ends around the centre. football players are no different just because they kick a ball around for a job.There is a load of sanctimonioustwaddle being talk on here.I take your point and most would agree if we were top of the league and flying,then not much of a fuss would be created about it as they would be doing their job right.The fact is we are 3rd from bottom and not playing great, people will have a pop more than usual as this is clearly affectingtheir ability to do their job right and the team's form shows by our leagueposition.The thing is players have been spotted out over the last 5 days in a weekwhere GJ has made a big fuss over the players fitness and mental strength,twice a week out for a beer then fine but 5 days on the trot i have seen city playersout on the lash, this can't be good for our club, and in these certain clubs theygo to is just asking for trouble because of who the players are.

They represent a public domain where children are involved.You may think that is going to the extreem, but in the cold light of day it's a fact.I don't want my two year old growing up thinking that going out and getting smashed and getting into a fight is the right thing to do.It's put the club to shame and they should be punished.From what you say it's "hey never mind, lets just get on with it". It doesnt work that way.MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do what they want up to a point. BUT by doing this they have shamed themsleves and the club. Not fair on the rest of the players either.
