Not sure why I’d expect anything else mind. Haha In off topic you literally posted that you didn't care if lots of people died from coronavirus. And people being angry at jack grealish is embarrassing and totally ott. It's a strange morale compass you seem to be working with.

The work he has put in to repairing his reputation and the way he's been looking after himself. Who would believe he's been hiding something like dandruff from us? Dont worry, it was just flour. I heard that he baked a bread and was delivering it to somebody who was in need of food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 So the Mirror reporting two other Prem players at the party and one of which is an England player. Let's hope it's no more of ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 You can’t excuse it and an apology would be meaningless unless it’s backed up by actions. His one redemption would be to volunteer to help the NHS. The club shouldn’t stop him as there’s no football for a minimum of 3 months anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I don't think it's as simple as if he does it on the pitch, he can get away with anything off it, there's definitely a line to be drawn, but I don't think this is it and I'm astonished anyone would want to sell him over it. It's definitely a good reason to take the captaincy away though. He should never have been captain in the first place. He doesn't lead. He doesn't inspire. He sulks when things don't go his way. And as much as a wizard he is with a ball at his feet, the bloke is clearly as thick as pig shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 It’s brought out the football tribalism in me. So many noses desperately tweeting WMP and going on about mythical CCTV footage, that I’ve gone from thinking we should throw the book at him, to wanting him to get away with it all, just to shut them up.

Some of those same people a week ago will have been banging on about how great he is and how indispensable he is to us. But sure, no overreacting whatsoever. Tensions and emotions are high obviously but people need to keep some sense of reality in mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyday hundreds and thousands of people are out and about ... The lock down was brought in to slow the pace of this so not to overwhelm the NHS. I’d also point out in a any given year regular flu can kill 500,000+ globally... I think some perspective about the dangers is required. At the frontline of the NHS it is awful I accept that completely and they deserve a better government. He will rightly be fined and warned about his behaviour. He went out and got caught and has faced consequences. That’s the end of it for me. the death rate of seasonal flu is around 0.1%. the death rate of COVID is between 1.5-2.5%. that's a massive difference. basically if 100 of your mates/family get COVID, you'll potentially be attending 2 of their funerals. so putting in perspective, this virus is MUCH more serious than flu...hence the outrage around jack's behaviour. i didn't see a single overreaction yesterday...and actually wound me up how cool a lot of people were about it all but i do agree that there does come a time to draw a line under it all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues fans want him charged for the disappearance of Lord lucan, they're throwing everything at him, drunk driving, drugs, fleeing an accident Also very unlikely but after their not my captain bollocks harlee Dean being one of the other two would also be hilarious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 31, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2020 Regardless of feelings on the moral issue, you do wonder whether this will have an effect on team morale. That's "moral" and "morale" Being locked up makes me grumpy about spelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
