City in for former Jailbird

[Cate Fox]

That's what the Leicester fans said about David Speedie they soon changed there tune'

Since when was Speedie convicted 14 times, the latest for assault?

 

[Samir Nasri]

That has got to be the most ridiculous comment I have ever read.

The child molester example was tongue in cheek. The fact is many football fans are willing to bury their heads in the sand and accept a convicted criminal who has done his time, if it means that he'll deliver the goods for their team.

Joey Barton has a history of assaulting young teens and other offences, and he's done his time and he's accepted by Newcastle fans. Rightly or wrongly.

 

[beaumontfox]

Yer but Newcastle fans are morons.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Bigger club. Better set up, crucially we probably have a better crack at getting into the Premiership. I'd imagine Coventry to Leicester is a no-brainer personally!

EDIT - woops, should have used reply with quote.

Not denying that just merely pointing out that Speedie was the most hated man in Leicester for that dive in the play-off final and the thought of him signing for us made some people very angry,yet when he did sign for us he hatred was soon forgotten and in some ways became a hero to some.

I hazard a guess if Marlon King did sign and started banging the goals,his personal life would be soon forgotten.

 

[Durham Fox]

Our moron fans will probably boo him and he'll end up turning shite.

 

[beaumontfox]

Good. For once I would totally understand a player being booed.

I wouldn't do it meself though.

 

[DesertFox]

The thing that gets me, apart from the fact that Marlon King is a cock of the highest order, is that there are literally thousands of players out there we could chose from. There's absolutely no reason to put ourselves through it. Why not just sign someone else instead?

 

[beaumontfox]

Someone better.
Someone without the baggage.
Someone who ISN'T a Grade A twat and has been seemingly all of his adult life(and probably his childhood as well if his adulthood is anything to go by!)

 

[DesertFox]

Exactly.

 

[beaumontfox]

Depends on what the club(and Sven) think is more important innit?

 

[slyfox]

Going back in time was there much anger when we signed Stan Collymore who allegedly hit Ulrika Johnson.

 

[beaumontfox]

Indeed there was. Difference there though is that one word- allegedly.

Plus she never brought charges, pretty much like she never brought charges against the celeb she accused of raping her in her book.

I can well believe Collymore hit her, but I would take anything that sourfaced cow with a HUGE pinch of salt.

 

[DesertFox]

That doesn't excuse singing this ****.

Edit: replying to slyfox.

 

[Samir Nasri]

We can do much better than King anyway. Not only is he a monumental cock for his behaviour, but he's also an average player. If we gonna sign average players, lets at least sign one without baggage.

 

[RHYDAL]

You've made up a song already?

Ooooh harsh that. Didn't he allegedly smack her around in a crowded pub in full view of everyone?

In my ignorance I was thrilled when we signed Collymore.

 

[beaumontfox]

And any one of those people(men AND women) could've had him arrested.

Would you have just ignored a woman getting twatted by a bloke in a pub if it was happening in front of you?

I don't like him either btw. A player with a lot of talent but with several screws loose.

 

[Billyjof]

No, strange story that one, you never know what believe. It was also not his first case of assult on a woman.

According to witness reports on the Ulrika incident he was stopped and slung out and bared from getting back in, which he tried. Not sure why police weren't called. Surely if he had assulted her they would have been?

A real shame he never settled with us. He could have had a bright end to his career instead he got greedy and fizzled out. Although he was amusing for starting on Vanilla Ice on that reality farm thingy.
