dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I was there too. I didn't hear a single word of abuse aimed at Jack directly. He certainly didn't "exchange words" with fans as I keep reading. Maybe you can tell me what his response was? I saw him apologise if that's what you mean.

I was also a few rows back, and it happened. Gave everyone abuse, Jack raised his head and gave a "you what" look to which he got a little more abuse as he walked off.

Um, I think it was that Jack didn't "exchange words" with anyone, which, if I've followed your argument correctly, is also what you are saying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Great goal.. but take that away from the game. How was the rest of his match? Did he go missing second half like the lot of them appeared to have done. I do wonder about his state of mind being from the 2015-2016 squad of record breakers. How was he off the ball?

There was abuse aimed at everyone as they walked off. As Jack was near the tunnel at the final whistle he was on his own coming off so took more than most and gave a look and looked to have said something back. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make as even if he did give some back nobody is criticising him for it. It's the small minority of fans who are in the wrong.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 My questions are genuine, I didn't hear what is being claimed. I'm trying to clarify what happened, I'm not scolding or defending anyone, merely looking for the truth. Sorry if that seems to have annoyed people.

Wainy316 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I was tp the left of the tunnel (too far to hear) and I saw a few fans clamour to that area. Jack was clapping as he went in then suddenly looked up with a pissed off look on his face and mouthed something back. A few syllables at most but it was obviously in response to something shouted at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Fair play to Jack, I thought he would have been first player to hand in a transfer request but looks like he staying until January the very least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Been excellent so far and more to come. Also chipping in with goals. Sensible to stay so well done him and his agent. Also silly the people who were writing him off last season, yes he didn't cover himself in glory but he's still a young kid and clearly has talent so away from the spotlight will help him. We need to go up before too long though otherwise he will be handing in a transfer request. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more like that a lot of people weren't bothered if he went rather than wanting him to go, a small but important difference. I'm happy to admit that so far he has appeared to have turned a bit of a corner with his conduct and performances. Lets hope it continues, its still early days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to admit that so far he has appeared to have turned a bit of a corner with his conduct and performances. Lets hope it continues, its still early days. I think the question at the time was whether he would ever turn that corner. The thinking being 'once a bad egg always a bad egg' (see Ravel). The fact he has acknowledged his indiscretions and has started the season the way he has, tells me he has already turned that corner and has made the step that many feared he wouldn't make. I think he has had his reality check and this is now phase 2 of his career and he will never look back from it. To which I let out a huge sigh of relief.
