Fletcher in spitting shame

A rare thread relating to our neighbours.
Most SAFC fans will of course condemn such vile behaviour if it is proven to be true.
Just shows that money can turn people into right tits.

Premier League star Steven Fletcher filmed himself spitting on the back of a rickshaw driver taking him on a night out.

Then the shameless £12million Sunderland striker proudly posted a picture of the cabbie’s phlegm-covered jacket on Instagram with the message “Al spit on ya back ya c***.”

Scottish international Fletcher also filmed the sickening incident on his mobile as the rickshaw took him and a pal through the streets of London. During the video, which he also posted, Fletcher, 26, can be seen grinning alongside his giggling friend.

Footage and images of the vile incident – which drew appreciative comments from several of his followers – were later removed from the player’s account.

Black Cats fans will be shocked by the behaviour of their £40,000-a-week striker. There are around 150 bicycle rickshaw – or pedicab – drivers working in London. They are mainly foreign students striving to pay for their studies.

In stark contrast to *Fletcher’s wealthy lifestyle, many struggle to make enough to cover the expense of running the cab, despite working dangerous night shifts in busy traffic.

The Scot is not the first Sunderland player to have been in trouble off the field in recent seasons.

Last year midfielder Stephane Sessegnon, 29, now with West Brom, was banned after admitting drink driving. Fletcher shares a £650,000 country home in Co Durham with beauty queen partner Rachel Monaghan, 21, and daughter Darcy-Mae.

Fashion-mad Fletcher sparked fury among fans in 2012. He tried to flog his new *clothing range to 100,000 Twitter followers just hours after a Scotland defeat made it almost impossible for them to qualify for this summer’s World Cup finals.

have you changed the time posted sure yours said 58 go on be honest

 

Looks like Sunlu are to clamp down on this idiot so fair play them.
What is it with footballers and their lack of self control? Bendtner acted a tit, Bellamy, Terry... The bloody list is endless..

AB's posting time is irrelevant fella.
I posted this thread.. A few minutes later you posted one too. As per the norm, with duplicates we merge into the oldest.

 

was on about yours not ab

 

Charming lad. Not exactly a good day for them yesterday bar the point. The next winnable home game failed to bring 3 points, Cattermole and Brown were involved in unsavoury incidents on the field, the fans were booing and walking out after half an hour (missed their first goal the plastic dafties), a fan was pictured foul mouth abusing Altidore like an uncouth heathen, and then this.

Yeah that moral high ground they like so much looks lower than a snakes belly right now.

 

any way forget it, making myself look like a petty tw@t

 

Should read people were walking to the concourse to get an early beer which is what really was happening..As for Fletcher, it is horrible if true, but the source is unreliable to say the least, so I will wait and see what emerges from this one before casting judgement..

 

A few Sunderland fans have suggested its the medias fault and they are only reporting on it to unsettle the Sunderland team ahead of the pop cup midweek as they are man united fans

 

Rant, rant, rant.

 

If it's true I'm surprised as I have always thought Fletcher was a canny lad.

 

Would not condone it but has it been reported anywhere other than the Mirror do people still read that rag
