As good a season he has had I think we'll replace him during the summer.

...he's bad publicity for the club.

 

In what possible way is he bad publicity?

 

He had his hands on his girl two years ago (before joining us) and now he's serving the consequences of those actions while being a big part in the best defence in the division since he and Fuchs came into the side after the Arsenal game.

 

The red top papers want to fill their shit columns with their "LOOK WHAT KIM K WORE THIS WEEK OMG" alongside photos of him. He shouldn't have to miss out on Monday's celebrations and the trip to Thailand because of the paparazzi. He was given community service and he should be allowed to continue with that.

 

He will not be replaced if we don't find someone better and I seriously doubt that we'll be looking too hard.

As a Burnley fan, it's interesting to read the polarising views of supporters when defending their own - In a same way we had reservations when signing Joey Barton this season. Many other supporters see him as a violent thug, just as non Leicester fans will see Danny Simpson, as it seems he's had a troubled past.

People who see him as a violent thug are ****ing idiots and I'd say the same if he was playing for my club or someone else's. He lost his shit and saw red for a split second and laid his hands on his girlfriend/wife (not sure which one she is).

 

He made a split-second mistake - we're all human, we're all prone to losing our temper. I'm not in any / way / shape / form saying that what he did was OK / right / excusable but what are we going to do - lock him up? throw away the key? ruin his career forever because he ****ed up once? 

 

If he went out and did the same thing again then fair enough - throw the book at him as it would make it clear he was a repeat offender and incapable of learning / change / remorse. 

 

He has taken his punishment, done his community service and shown a good attitude ever since - he deserves to be allowed to continue with his life and move on. 

 

The way some people take the moral high ground is incredible - like they've never done anything wrong EVER in their entire ****ing lives.

He's been accused of other stuff in the past:

He's not overly loved here but the judge passed the sentence he had to serve and he was doing his community service so the club decided to keep him.

 

I'm not going to be lauding him as a great role model or anything, he's had a very good season on the pitch however. If you asked us a year ago he would get little support on here or other forums.

Justice has To be served , do your community service and leave the Lambo at home

It's hardly unfair that !

He could have been imprisoned and his whole life would be different right now !

Get on with it and be thankful for a 2nd chance

He was slaughtered on here !

It's like people who think that footballers should be good role-models for their kids.

 

Footballers are, in many instances, hardly the sharpest knives in the drawer - they signed up to play football, not teach your kids how to behave. 

 

If they're exemplary people and great at football, brilliant - that's great for everyone isn't it. But to expect them to be perfect humans when they live lives of excess is a bit naive, imo. 

 

You know who should be a good role-model to your kids? You, as a parent or teachers at their schools.

 

Sure, your kids should be able to aspire to have the footballing skills of Vardy or Simpson but if you're expecting sports-people to be teach your kids the right values in life then quite frankly, you're doing parenting wrong.

It is pretty hilarious quite a lot are defending him for throttling his girlfriend when a year ago the general consensus was we don't want that thug to play in our shirt lol

 

General consensus a year ago was that he was a dog shit footballer.

 

So long as he performs in a City shirt, he gets the thumbs up from me. I couldn't care less what he's like off the pitch.

I disagree. Sure, it's a parent's duty to be responsible but surely footballers, as idols, also have a role to play? They should know that football means as much to us in terms of life as it does to them and there are kids out there that will look up to them as heroes and will be influenced by their actions. Same goes to a lot of celebs. They have a role to play. It's a lifestyle, an aspiration. People aspire to be many things, and it's your duty to keep up the good press.

To be fair, most people on here thought he was/is a bit of a ****.

 

 

Glad he's won us the title, fantastic player this season, but still clearly a bit of a ****.

Tough but fair. Don't see anything at all wrong with this. The timing sucks for him but again too bad.

What car he drives is not important. If he didn't turn up to community service at all then that is a far bigger issue. He's rich, he's going to buy an expensive car, it's an irrelevant part of the story.
