    There is also proof that he didn't know she was underage. A creepy rat * but no proof of him being a nonce. This isn't me wanting him to stay, he should be gone but it is ridiculous to label him a nonce.

    I think it’s mob mentality more than anything, as individuals people object but when the emotions swing you that direction along with those around you it happens. I might be wrong mate, personally hope I am but it’s a bizarre hypocritical thing.

    He might have been away already…. But Edouard is stuck in the doorway and nobody else can get in or out.

    It’s now the fourth season in a row he’s failed to get himself fit for.

    We’re probably only a month or so away from his next act of stupidity on social media.

    The fact the club hasn’t even, at the very least, got him off social media or hired someone to control it for him is bizarre.

    I realise there’s various employment laws that would stop employers doing that in ordinary jobs, but football is usually a law unto itself. He really is treated as if he’s bigger than the club.

    Think his mental health issues in the past have made the club tread very carefully imo. Cant say they've not shown enough care anyway.

    Your ban was for calling/ alluding to other members being nonces/paedophiles.

    Plenty of fans have defended him already, nothing sticks and idiots will forgive him.

    Nowhere in my post was I asking for a reason, I simply responded to the person quoting me.

    Me neither. He’s been taken out of the firing line for a few weeks to see if this dies down.

    It won’t. Some will cheer him if he plays again but there will be plenty who will continue booing him. Think it was @Seán Mac D who said It is going to cause trouble in the stands and it will.

    Just move him on. Loan, sell, pay him off whatever just get him out of the club.

    Yeah, I know that, but no one else knew the reason and your vague post could have been picked up as staff banning people for calling trivial reasons ....I wanted to point out that your ban was justified and wasn't for calling Griff a nonce nor paedo.

    Already caused issues, my mate says a guy was getting bother and actually had to be taken out the stand at the game the other week. And that was with an 18k crowd against west ham fs.

    I went off my nut about people booing him, and tbh I still would. Not because of what he’s done/supposed to have done (not even getting into that one again) but simply because of the detrimental effect it has on the rest of the team. I understand the anger shown to him by fans, but the team come first booing your own players is lunacy.

    Genuine question. How do fans display their wish that he never plays for us again then? I didn’t boo him but fully understand why many did and agree with their reasons.

    This. * all wrong with booing him, particularly in a meaningless pre-season friendly where the result doesn't matter.

    People getting on their high horse about it are * weird.

    That’s the tricky one and totally understand why you would question it.

    The most common sense thing would be for him never to play for us again, that’s down to the hierarchy and manager to decide, it’s an appalling position to put a new manager in, as if he’s not under enough pressure to secure results and build a team. So it should fall on the board to either free him, or sell him.

    You have asked a very good question though as I really don’t know how to answer that, on one hand you have to let the powers that be that it’s unacceptable, yet you don’t want to damage the team anymore than it already is, they’re fragile enough.

    I imagine he wouldn't have been boo'd had he not messaged a child. I boo'd and will continue to boo him. * that guy


    The fact he's still at the club is disgusting in itself

    So you would rather boo a player and watch the team collapse like the West Ham game? That in itself is a weird thing to do, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Doesn’t surprise me with you though budd.
