The Footie Thread

[Aztecs27]

I can’t recall if he’s apologised for his ‘Mafia gang’ comments he made earlier in the season either.

You can’t just throw about serious baseless accusations and expect the club to welcome him with open arms.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Brilliant move Forest!

Neville is a prick of the highest order and I’m bloody glad we’ve told him he’s not welcome.

He’s had a week to retract or apologise for the crap he put out after the Awoniyi incident and has chosen not to.

High time this little rat realised that actions, even if they’re verbal, have consequences.

It’s just his opinion at the end of the day and it’s sport and free speech

Clubs are ok to take the broadcasters money

He is just a pundit , a commentator

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what he says.

Maybe it’s time the owner or club etc need to ignore it

What if the next commentator said something the club didn’t like ?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Didn't realise Inter and Napoli were playing their final matches tonight.

Title to be decided a day before the other sides in league play

Apparently they love Mctominay over there.

Adore him. Shrines have been erected

Now this is definitely a quote for us all to remember

Adore him. Shrines have been erected

that’s turned out to be a dream move for him.

Opinions are welcome.
Personal Views, no problem.
Calling out owner a mafia boss? not cool and must do better than spouting sensationalistic stuff for clicks.

Actions have consequences, should be sacked or at least taken to task after that….his most recent dramatic tweets with no substance just made things worse. Always sensationalising for attention!

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of consequence.

He can give his opinion on him not liking the way the club is run, but he can’t call someone a Mafia boss and think that’s ok?

Carra’s said some nonsense but isn’t banned. So it’s not a case of him being thin skinned.

Always liked him at Utd. More goals in him than the rest of the midfield

That was over a year ago now wasn’t it ?

This is what he said

“Neville said: ‘It’s like a mafia-gang statement. I mean, honestly, what the hell are they playing at? It’s like a petulant child, it’s embarrassing. And some of those things they’re saying in there, the suggestion of some sort of inferring of cheating because there’s an official in VAR in Stockley Park who’s a Luton fan is a scandal, and they will pay for that.’”

And they were talking about suing him for it

I guess that was laughed out by a lawyer

Why on earth would someone get sacked for that

Cancel culture at it's finest.

Use a mafia gang as a simile, sack him.

So you think suggesting that the ownership is a mafia gang is ok? He knew exactly what he was saying and stereotyping the owner as a “Greek mafioso”

Sky sports had to formally apologise for what he said.

And the club were fined and sanctioned for the statement

Again it was 12 months ago , did they sue him ?

It’s all a little bit pathetic

There always seems to be one person in the middle of the issues at the club

What’s the issue? You can’t just throw around baseless accusations and just expect to get away with it because you’re passing them off as “opinion” and because of how important you think you are.

More people should call Neville and Carragher out for their ridiculous (at times) sensationalistic punditry and it might teach them a lesson.

media will have field day if we lose now, though

His “opinion” was an attempt to sow discord and enmity between two major figures at my club. And it was based on his reactionary and incorrect interpretation of a situation.

He has had a week to retract or apologise and has said nothing.

He can suck my choddies.

Didnt Forest throw around accusations as well ?

It’s still his opinion at the end of the day about the situation and it was one shared by many

Shouldn’t the club have thicker skin about it all and just ignore it

They will prob just have him commentate from the London studio

He didn't actually claim the Forest owner was a mafia boss though, did he? He said it was LIKE the Mafia?

If someone calls Arteta Lego Head, I don't genuinely believe he is made of Lego. If someone calls Neville a rat, I don't actually believe he is a rodent.

Ironically, childishly banning him makes them look a little bit more like a mafia gang

 

[Aztecs27]

Yes and were punished accordingly.

Was Neville punished by Sky?

If they won’t punish him, then they will

 

[Don Barzini]

Nope. They should tell him he isn’t welcome. And I’m very glad they have.
