daznathe Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Who cares? me. still maintain that had lee hughes pretended to headbutt an oponent, he wouldnt have been treated as harshly. rather like how gregan tried to attack an oposition player live on tv, but nothing was said. or richie wellens threw away our promotion with a totally unnecessary stamp, but that was pretty much ignored too.

daznathe Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 very true, still keep an eye out though. did we ever find out if we have a sell on clause? should imagine that red should be rescinded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? In his suspension period we won at Swansea and then lost to Millwall and Vale. Even on the off chance that we'd have picked up six points from those two games (and bearing in mind we were dreadful against Millwall and were tonked at Vale), we'd have finished 5th...would we have beaten Forest? Would we have then beaten Blackpool in the final? The answer would either be 'no', or 'I don't know'. You'd have thought that what cost us that year was the whole team playing crap for the last three months of the season...not one player's suspension in the middle of February...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 You reckon he'll still be at Brighton? True. Plenty of time for him to throw a hissy fit when he's been dropped from their first team and demands for all the blue M&M's to be removed from his dressing room bowl to be sent out on loan.

Scapegoat Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Generally once a player has left Athletic I'll still key and eye on them, or at least pay more attention when they are mentioned on TV/Radio coverage. As for Davies vs other players that have shown unsporting / violent behaviour. Firstly, we are only speculating that this was a factor in Davies departure. If we assume that it was, then I wonder whether it was not the incident itself, but perhaps the players reaction to whatever punishment was given as a result. As a manager I think you have to accept that people/players make mistakes and do stupid things (heat of the moment in sport etc). However if when you then disciplne them for it, if they don't accept it with good grace, then perhaps its right to say that they are not the type of player you want in the team/squad. I have no idea whether Craig did get any form of disciplinary action or how he reacted to it - but its a theory, and he could look like a player that could sulk a bit.
