Danny Simpson Guilty - Avoids Jail

[MPH]

Good post,

That McCormack goalkeeper at Plymouth kills 2 kids and paralyses there dad and yet he gets a contract after his sentence,Troy deeney,lee Hughes to name a few have done time and been allowed to continue there career,all for more serious matters than resulted in custodial sentences,

Yet Simpson who hasn't done time,his mrs the victim who denies what the police claimed is not welcome at our club because of an 'apparent'

Throttle of his wife,yet clearly not bad enough to result in a sentence should not be allowed to play for us again,some fans should get over themselves and accept he's in ranieris plans wheat get they like it or not.

 

 

 

You Donut. Some of those players mentioned moved on to other clubs after having their contracts terminated. No one is saying he cant carry on his career, just he should have his contract terminated.

 

 

 

besides, It COULD be argued that despite the gravity of their crimes, their offence was more negligent than ill intent.  There's no negligence or 'accident'  about wrapping your hands round a womans throat and only stopping after being pulled off by an intervening officer...

He was very solid at Norwich, hardly put a foot wrong. De Laet is good going forward but his positioning is awful and is a big part of our poor defensive record. Simpson is clearly a twat but then so are most footballers, as long as he plays well on the pitch I couldnt give a toss what he does off it.

 

You couldn't give a toss if someone's arrested for strangling his missus? If I was getting a kicking in the streets from a load of Danny Dyer wannabes would you walk away?

 

I believe people can make mistakes and learn from them but he's always going to have the tag about him wherever he goes.

[Ric Flair]

It does leave a question mark over his character and I am disgusted at what he's been charged with, subject to it being correct but there is a definite tolerence of certain players who commit crimes and behave atrociously. People would be making excuses and allowances for this if it was someone like Vardy, Mahrez or King. Football has rarely been a moral sport. Gascoigne is idolized by this country and yes, a lot of his actions and problems are the result of him having some serious addictions and diseases but he's still committed them. He battered his ex-wife and was still welcomed with open arms at clubs. Stan Collymore on the other hand is forever tarnished as a wife beater when there's been many accounts of the incident that raise doubt as to what happened (i'm not making excuses for him, just highlighting the hypocrisy).

 

I don't particularly care for Danny Simpson as a player or as a person, what he's been convicted of is cowardly and disgusting but it always makes me laugh how fans will turn a blind eye if a player is mustard.

[AKCJ]

Is it because the victim is a female, and in our male dominated cultural past time a moral handicap must be inplace because of our draconian perspective on ethical treatment on previous transgressions? Or is it because this all happened on our books?

I merely ask because I remember us signing a certain Benjamin Thatcher, who infront of millions of witnesses Worldwide, absolutely attempted murder on Pedro Mendes and none of this shitstorm that Danny Simpson is getting, happened.

 

 

It absolutely did.

[davieG]

I'm sure DeLaet would have looked just as good if not better defensively if he'd had the luxury of Albrighton supporting him.

 

You would also have the bonus of DeLaet and Albrighton swapping places to provide a more varied attack down the right.

Even though his mrs Denys that was the case,

I'm not bothered whether he plays or not based on his ability as a footballer,he's not the best or the worst player,

But the way people like you go on,

Am sure you'll find summit to say whether he played for us or not,

If the Jamie Vardy incident was last season you would have said you don't want him to play for the club again I'm sure.

Sure or not you're badly mistaken. If you can't tell the difference between a mild racial epithet in a casino and a sustained physical assault on a woman on her own, there is something badly wrong with you.

Exactly my thoughts. Simpson may have had a steady enough game but what did Norwich really possess down their left? The square root of nothing. Simpson is a horrendous footballer.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am sure the Mendes incident happened after he left us, not before we signed him.

Wow, a new low I think. Would you actually support us signing any of those players?

This is about our club, and how we as supporters want to view our players. Regardless of ability this is not the type of player I want representing my club.

[Russell sprout]

Of course I understand the difference,

You don't need to patronise me when making your point,alls am saying is that nowt gonna change whether you and others accept it or not,

Unfortunetly for you cr isn't going to get rid of Simpson on the basis some don't want to see him in a city shirt again.

But whether you like it or not your opinion counts for nothing,that's not me trying to be funny but it's the way it is

Simpson: A Great Time To Be At City

After his first Barclays Premier League appearance of the season, Leicester City defender Danny Simpson explained just how much he’s enjoying his time at the Club.

- Danny Simpson says he is enjoying his time at Leicester City 

- Defender played 65 minutes in the victory over Norwich City last time out 

- Simpson also completed 90 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday 

- Leicester showed their character to return to winning ways against the Canaries, according to the right back 

 

After his first Barclays Premier League appearance of the season, Leicester City defender Danny Simpson explained just how much he’s enjoying his time at the Club. 

 

The right back completed just over an hour in the Foxes’ 2-1 victory over Norwich City on Saturday, having also played 120 minutes in the Capital One Cup Third Round win against West Ham United in September. 

 

Simpson, who also notched up 90 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Birmingham City on Wednesday, believes there is a great vibe at the Club and says he is focusing in training in order to get some more competitive game time under his belt. 

 

He said: “It is all about playing football for me. All the lads, the whole squad, have been top class and there is a really great feeling about the place and the fans. 

 

"This is a great time to be at Leicester and it is nice to still be part of it. I haven't played for a while and I am trying to get up to full fitness, but it was nice to be back involved – and to be part of a good away win [against Norwich]. 

 

"I seized up a little towards the end and had to come off but I have a couple of weeks now to recover and get back training ready for the next game." 

 

Simpson believes City showed great character to return to winning ways against Norwich last time out after his side suffered their first defeat of the season against Arsenal a week earlier. 

 

"We had to bounce back after the Arsenal defeat,” Simpson added. “Everyone knows Arsenal were at their best but Norwich was a tough place to go and to get the three points is great. It wasn't pretty but we dug deep and battled away. 

 

"The clean sheet is coming. There were signs against Norwich where not just the back five but the whole team were very organised. 

 

"We got in good positions and shape, so there are positives signs moving forward."

Seemingly the club seem to be happy with him.

Not really true, otherwise I'd have just agreed with you. You actually said: "If the Jamie Vardy incident was last season you would have said you don't want him to play for the club again I'm sure." And that is 100% assfat.

Although a valid point, when we were linked with deeney a while back in sure no one was saying they didn't want him because he had done some time.

True-I didn't want him because he's not good enough.

Marlon King however, when we were rubbish enough to need him-could still have kissed my chuddies.

[Bert]

Exactly my thoughts. Simpson may have had a steady enough game but what did Norwich really possess down their left? The square root of nothing. Simpson is a horrendous footballer.

Wish I was horrendous enough to play for Man Utd, Newcastle, Qpr & Leicester. The bloke knows he's done wrong. He's obviously been handed a second chance and has looked solid enough when called upon. People saying look who he's come up against. That's not His fault. People also moan about De Laet not getting enough protection from Mahrez but is it Mahrez's fault when De Laet gets turned by Arnautovic in the build up to Stokes goal? Is it Mahrez's fault that De Laet constantly gets turned inside out by other attackers? No. Truth is De Laet is not a great defender. Very good going forward, but if it wasn't for the blokes pace he'd find himself in more trouble than he does.

[Guest MattP]

He's appealing the decision Bert so he doesn't think he's done anything wrong.

[yorkie1999]

Is his Mrs still with him.

[whoareyaaa]

Is his Mrs still with him.

 

Yes apparently they are.

 

I read somewhere that the gf wanted to drop the charges.

 

Now the guy may have been in the wrong here but everyone deserves a second chance, things can get heated at times and things do happen.

 

And I would rather have him at RB than de laet at the moment.

Is he though? He gets into decent positions but I rarely see him put in a dangerous cross, all the criticism sent Schlupp's way over end product should be handed to RDL too, only Schlupp does get it right quite a bit, De Laet rarely

Do you know him personally?

 

Not a criticism you just seem remarkably supportive of someone who's hardly a club hero and isn't exactly Cafu. 

[Col city fan]

He's appealing the decision Bert so he doesn't think he's done anything wrong.

Don't forget, Bert used to rave about Beckford too....

Need I say more?

Personally I think Simpson has a LOT to prove in a City shirt before he's considered our first choice RB.

[David Guiza]

I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with what Bert says, there's not enough hours in the day. But, what he said has no connection to him being either a club hero or a world beater? He simply said that he'd wronged and has been given a second chance, which thus far he seems to have taken, that is no reflection on his ability or fans perspective on him.

Col, given your previous standpoint on a convicted rapist, I think it's a bit rich to get personal with Bert. But I agree that laying everything else aside, DS is not a good enough footballer for us to be seriously worrying about him being first choice...
