Well that woman was supposedly getting messages and such back in August, and it ended in November, so I guess there was that one and the recent one on Snapchat. I have no idea what 'Kik' is but apparently he met the 23 year old on there and was messaging her and wanting sex.

In the past he also told the Blues he was too sick to play but was posting pictures of him on the beach on instragram so it seems there was form there and the latest one was the one that helped get him sacked.

Now if the girl was underaged as the rumours around Facebook suggest and her parents dobbed her in that's fair enough, I would assume he was sacked not because of one issue but all of them.

Granted on all the other stuff, but this was the trigger. After all the other incidents, he might have been rapped over the knuckles severely and he might have been skating on very thin ice, but he was still employed. The problem for me is that it was this that was the tipping point.

I have to wonder if this was just an excuse for them to terminate him early, as they were going to do so at seasons end anyway. It didnt seem at all likely he was ever going to play again at the club, and seemed a weird bit of timing that after all the bad behaviour this was the final straw.

I guess when he "breaks his silence" we'll hear more of this bizarre story.

So is this 23 year old the same female being identified as a teenager just days ago or is this a different incident altogether?

David, you're so focused on saying that things that are, shouldn't be.

I strongly suggest you don't take the same stance with the law of gravity. It may not end well. :wink:

Scuse me, but shouldn't he be sacked on the basis of bad taste?

There's a Nancy Sinatra song that could be very easily corrupted in several ways to suit this situation.

Bring it on, someone.
