    Look at the positives , at least we have an excuse to terminate Lennon’s contract.

    I can honestly say I have never had the urge to call any of my mates' Mothers a slag no matter how drunk I have been. Nor have I ever witnessed this happening. If this is normal behaviour for people in their 20s these days I am well out of touch.

    I find it embarrassing without the racial undertones that you'd be calling each other c***s on a night out and calling someone's mother a slag. That's bad enough for me. Put's the Club in a very bad light and can't see why anyone would consider it a non story. Footballers are as thick as a brick. Personally think it's shocking behaviour but I'm not surprised.

    Literally every 20-something male calls their mates cunt in the most endearing but aggressive way they possibly can.

    Complete non story, anyone getting upset with this needs to get a life.
    Does that include Robinson when he mentions it in his press conference on Thursday?
    Robbo will say it was a bonding session

    If this was last January, when did Kennedy get shipped back out to N. Ireland ?

    You mean when a local journo looking to fill pages asks him about it?
  • Doesn't the article say that the incident took place last January , in which case there were probably celebrating the start of the Take-Over thread.

    If thats the case I'm more curious to know why Robinson decided to take them out to Ireland in January

    Dont forget thats the month we ended against Millwall and went on a proper shite run

    I’m more offended that Morgan Fox is attempting to banter somebody on their footballing ability. Morgan Fox.

    So true!!

    I think the likelihood is you are out of touch. Football dressing rooms from pro to park level can be brutal ‘banter’

    Yes, and he will condone it.

    Could just be making a throwback to those days? As in, maybe some one said a “your Mum” joke that fell flat and everyone found it hilarious some one said “your mums a slag” and so use it ironically to each other as a bit of banter.

    I think you might be right.

    After 40 years, I'm gonna start buying The Sun, just so I can stop buying it

    I'm sure that I read somewhere that you used to be a dealer?!?
    He sold chickens in Grove Park station I believe and pot noodles

    If this took place in January then I'm guessing it was a few weeks after Robinson was going to give them a talking to after the players got pissed up and filmed it in December...

    ...sounds like they really respected that dressing down.

    Could it be because of bullying that he left?

    Totally unbelievable. There's no way Johnson would have put the apostrophe in "Your mum's...".

    Does kind of emphasise a couple of things:

    1. How important it is when managers say about getting the right characters in the dressing room.

    2. How brutal the dressing room culture / day-to-day banter and bullying can be, and how it’s a survival of the fittest in that sense. you can see some young players don’t make the grade as personality wise they can struggle in that environment. Made me miss Sunday football though!!

    You wot? You must have a very different definition of personality from me. A house brick has more personality than the pond life in that clip.

    Don't think so but stand to be corrected on that.

    I don't know why people keep referring to 20 years olds, I met up with a couple of me mates (all 40+) when I was last over who I ain't seen for 3-4 years, and within 20 minutes in the pub I'd tripped one of em over, flat on the floor, as he went to the toilet and he'd come back and cupped a fart in my face to which he was called something like a c*** and this was all before 15:00 on a Friday

    The worst thing is that the Sun probably knows this is a non-story, but they're reporting it in order to provoke a reaction, and then provoke a reaction to the reaction, and then hey presto, everyone's sensationalised

    Don’t see how you can blame the Sun in this. They’ve been offered the footage, and it’s a story worth running. Every other paper would have run the same story if it had gained the footage.
    I don't think they would. The Guardian, Times and Indy wouldn't touch that with a bargepole imho.

    While Sheffield United added: "This was whilst Ricky was a Charlton player, when he arrived at Sheffield United in January he was advised of the social responsibilities of players associated with the club and then reminded that he would be sitting on the bench till kingdom come.”

    It slightly saddens me that when we see footage of our players on social occasions, there usually seems to be a divide between the white players and the black players, you never seem to see them mixing together.

    Could this have been the thing that was seen on Bauer or Tex's mobile that pissed off Robbo last season.

    p.s what kind of an insult is baggy?
