I know I'm old fashioned but I think it's sad that the comments on include things like 'young lads having fun with consenting adults'. I think filming yourself with your mates laughing and demeaning a woman should never be seen as normal. Sniggering at a woman, racist comments, calling them minging etc. Isn't lads on a nice holiday to me. And filming it to snigger with your other mates later on? They're not acting like 'lads' they're acting like ****s.
The main reason I would deem this sackable is they are still on the clubs time. This is a club holiday to Thailand that the owners have paid for and organised. While they are there they are representing the club and they have let the club down in more ways then 1 Had this been a lads holiday on their own time I would haven't have sacked them just read them the riot act
Bit of a mountain out of a molehill IMO. Very stupid of them to film it and even stupider to have their faces on film. However, no one was hurt, no one was raped. I doubt the people of Thailand really give a toss. A grovelling apology and some education is all that's really needed, IMO.
Official club statement Leicester City Football Club has issued the following statement following reports in Sunday's national print media... A Leicester City spokesman said: "We take the conduct of our players at every level extremely seriously and will take appropriate action, if necessary, once the full facts of the situation have been established. "Pending the outcome of an internal investigation, the Club will make no further comment."
Apparetly the Thai people arent happy about it. The say they wouldnt give a toss would be a naive thing to say. At the end of the day our links with the owners and Thailand are much more important then James Pearson, Tom Hopper and Adam Smith
Fair enough. I wouldn't expect the owners to be delighted but equally I doubt they'd really be that sensitive. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. The average bloke on the street in Bangkok? Probably thinks this is all a bit tame.
Lets not have the player's ability level sway your opinion. If these were first teamers then we wouldn't be calling for their heads. The only really 'bad' thing is calling someone a slit-eye. Sack whoever has done that and heavily fine rest. I suspect the lads themselves know they've ****ed up and are heavily embarrassed.
We sacked Dennis Wise so i dont think player ability should come into either If say Schmeichel did it i would stick him straight onto the transfer list and sell him. You might see that as double standards but they cant stay here IMO
Slightly off topic but someone mentioned La Manga. Would strongly recommend Keith Gillespie's book- goes into it in quite a lot of depth and is generally a fantastic read.
They was all proven innocent though. Keith Gillespie had alot of dark days with La Manga and gambling but im glad he came through them.
We sacked Dennis Wise because he committed a crime. These lads have had consensual sex and, as Fosse has said, they took advantage of the fact the girls couldn't speak English.
These 3 and Simpson need to leave ASAP. We are a club moving forward and can't have animals like these letting the club and the city down
We've put ourselves on the map for our achievements on the pitch and there's no time for this. They aren't going to cut this level so they'd be better off dropping down, getting their heads down and playing football without causing this hassle for us when everything has been so positive
I don't think the local football team finishing mid-table quite puts the city on the map but perhaps we have different maps. Richard III- he put you on the map. Free agent too I believe.
