Pearl Ram Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Bravo, what he did was despicable and the club's swift action is applauded in East Herts. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessie1 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Good. Well done DCFC. I'm pretty sure there was a show of support at Pride Park when Billy's son died - minute's applause maybe - can't remember the specific. Hopefully he remembers that about Derby fans rather than the abuse some idiots gave him on Saturday and (surprise, surprise) on social media.

AlfretonRam84 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 While I agree it was disgusting what was said and that it was definitely uncalled for and doesn't represent all of us, I can't help but feel a lifetime ban is not justifiable for this, people say stupid **** when they're angry. Not trying to defend what he did but just can't see why it deserves a lifetime ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Well done to all involved. Hopefully this will start off other clubs doing similar to people who write scummy things like that on twitter. No place for it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Fully deserved, won't find many that disagree. Interesting the club has never gone down this route before when the idiots on Twitter have started abusing our own players and their wives? Think some would have more than deserved it to be honest.

angieram Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 There are some people who see Twitter as an opportunity to post whatever offensive rhetoric they want. I don't buy the 'said in anger' defence. If you can't control your temper don't post on Twitter. More examples like this might make some people think twice before posting abuse. Well done, DCFC.

It didnt once occur to me to abuse opposition players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Horrific comment, agreed. No justification, agreed. But a lifetime ban? I'm sure in 30 years time, lifetime ban or not, he would have looked back on the tweet and regretted it. I personally would have banned him for 5/10 years, which is enough time to make him realise his mistake, set an example and given him a second chance.

King Kevin Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The player is just doing his job for the club that pays his wages so why take it out on him for doing just that, and to bring his personal tragedy into it just cross's the line ,unforgivable.

Bazal77 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 some people should be euthanised, but i guess dcfc arent in a position to do that so a lifetime ban will have to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
