Trevor Sinclair RIP

He’s entitled to post what he likes, as long as it doesn’t break the law, or the rules of the site he posts it on.

But he also has to expect a response. But that reponse should also be within the law, and rules of the relevant site.

Yeah he’s finished.
No one’s touching him after this.

There is a job in the Highlands if he fancies working in a fish and chip shop

 

[BrianM]

A wee bit of insight to the Chip shop owner, apparently completely out of character, a bit of a belter but normally a nice person.
She was arrested for hate speech, not sure what happens there going forward.
Her house windows were apparently smashed and covered in eggs.
Chip shop was covered in stuff but a police presence have been there.
Her business is finished, 99.9% of the people up here are absolutely disgusted and rightly so.
Absolutely indefensible, dare say she’ll need to move house etc.

Wonder if the windows were covered in eggs or smashed first?

With a net worth estimate of $13M, I hardly think he'll care too much.

That’s one fish and chip shop that will shut that won’t be a loss. Didn't she read the fish and chip shops closing thread in GM to see she was already on thin ice.

"Free speech" is a misnomer ...

 

[Mudball]

Unfortunately he was not the only one…


And she doubled down on it

Some totally vile people have surfaced in the last 24 hours. Jaki from Muir of Ord on twitter is another that has managed to destroy her livelihood.

What a sad sad person she is

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Sadly the general public have short memories on lots of things or persons that are offensive

She has been kicked out of her federation

[theoneandonly]

Theres a federation? Is that like the racoon federation?

 

[Dando]

Looking at her comments, I assume she is one of those fruitcakes who believe we are controlled by an elite of ten foot tall lizards disguised in human form.

Are you telling me we’re not?

If he doesn’t care then why is he working?
Might not need the money,but obviously still wants to do the work he’s doing.

It’s a very poor attempt at an apology
Basically saying it was badly timed,but still wanted to say it.

Note the amendment I made ... wont care too much.

I honestly think he will.
A lot of ex players need something within the game after they retire.

By that argument, it is a wonder why any ex players at his level or better go on to work after football? Why would they if they are not bothered.

I'm sure Jamie Carragher has made millions. However, when he was suspended from Sky, he was devastated. He absolutely adores that job on Sky, how much money he has in his bank is irrelevant.

Sinclair chose to do that job because he wanted to, not because he needed to from a financial point of view. So, you could argue more it will mean a hell of a lot more to him, in comparison to someone who lose a job they didn't really enjoy anyway.

I'm pretty certain he has 'something'! Though it's not something that's good for his health!

Didn't he, Carragher, get another job in broadcasting almost immediately after? And I'm pretty sure he realised the stupidity of what he did, so a touch of forgiveness for his moment of stupidity.
FWIW, I was never a fan of him as a pundit - purely based on his accent!
