Desperate to have a go at the club. He's been sacked once he entered his plea. Leave it at that and leave all the name calling to mags for fucks sake

"Desperate to have a go at the club"!

You've no issue with them planning to put someone on the pitch immediately after the world's heard evidence he groomed a child?! Not even worthy of a mention?

I don't know why some people are getting so worked up about it. He got arrested, got suspended, categorically denied all charges until the day of the trial, got sacked. 'It makes us look bad...... No it doesn't. What could we have done except support one of our players ? If it makes Margaret Byrne or whoever look bad then that's their conscience and their problem. I honestly couldn't give a shit. He's gone and we've got 10 games to stay up.

This. There's a lot of faux outrage on this thread when no one really knows all the facts. Lots of amateur f***ing sleuths who can't wait to put the boot into the club.

only thing I wish was clarified was whether they knew he had kissed and texted the lass.

They have confirmed they knew nowt about his pleas but haven't confirmed whether they knew about the other (as was said in court they did)

(for the record I don't believe for 1 minute that they knew)

Why ? What difference does it make to any of us ?
 
I don't condone in any way what he did, but you could beat the living daylights out of someone and leave them with life changing injuries, and if you were a first time offender you wouldn't get five years.

Is kissing and feeling someone up really comparable to that? I mean would you rather your 15 child had the crap kicked out of them, or was kissed and groped?

He grommed her
He used his position as a footballer
He lied
He had sexual activity with a 15 year old girl
I'd lock him up and throw away the key the dirty bastard.

The CEO was present in the interview and saw the documents relating to the case ie the WhatsApp messages (according to what was revealed in court, which the club haven't denied in the statement) .

From what was revealed in those messages it was pretty clear he'd be guilty. If I was a SAFC fan I'd be sickened if she didn't sack him after seeing those.

No she didn't. So she was shown the evidence? No

You do know he had been convicted of sexual activity with a child.

I very much doubt that means a feel of a tit
