Resignations?

Sheffield United as a club are culpable for the injury to Hume.
Should we not be seeing resignations from the manager, directors?

 

Could Health & Safety charge the FA on grounds of not protecting employees ?

 

Here come the mentalists.

No.
How can the board be responsible for a player sticking an elbow out?

Unless McCabe has a really long bit of string & is playing the first team like a bunch of puppets.

Don't be bloody daft.

 

Much as it hurts me...

.. I have to agree with an OWL.

(I feel unclean now)

 

There have been some mixed responses to the challenge on Hume

but some of them are becoming more and more unreasonable, as this one is. The board of directors should resign because one of their players elbowed another player during a match? Madness.

What sort of game do we want football to become? One where the police are called to investigate every foul that causes an injury, where MPs ask refereeing decisions to be discussed in Parliament or where clubs and players are constantly suing each other?

I'm 100% against what Morgan did and think he is a thug and an animal but so many of the responses that people are suggesting are purely emotive and overreacting. Petitions to the police and the FA or suggesting that SUFC's board resigns or writing to our local MPs expecting miracles to happen are based in cloud cuckoo land.

We're horrified because of what happened to one of our players but some of the things that have been suggested on here have just been plain daft and we'd be taking the piss out of the fans of another club that did the same thing.

 

I thought I was alone

Agreed

 

You generally are alone.

Billy no mates.
Bathing would help the situation.

I think every player, fan, director & associate of SUFC (including Sean Bean & the Chengdu Blades) should be shot to the moon from a bit **** gun.

Is that reasonable?

 

RE: You generally are alone.

This is true, but at least I'm not so ugly that I scare my own children.

 

Agreed nt

 

"children"?

I have more than one?
Knackers.
Should I be expecting a letter from the CSA after impregnating Frank?

I think Chris Morgan should be sent to see the bloke off Hellraiser with the nails sticking out of his head.
They should then rip his skin off with those hooks & all that.

Is that reasonable?

FFS sideways, on a stick, in a soup.
Au gratin.

 

Sanity at last.

What were you thinking?

 

Rubbish.

I fully expect Chris Morgan to be shredded & put into pancakes with Hoi Sin sauce.
It's the only fitting punishment.

Roll up, roll up.
Jump aboard the over-reaction bandwagon.

 

Sorry, I simply have to edit my post

As I'm sure that some will think I'm actually serious with my comments.

 

quick, rescue yourself

Some pics of her that ross and brand got in trouble for should help...

 

Agree re some of the more emotional stuff.

</p>

But I don't think players should be allowed to get away with GBH and be immune from private prosecution. And the petition is a call to the FA and the police to take action. There's nothing wrong with that. Do you think a few games ban and a fine would bother Chris Morgan? Don't you think the majority of decent players deserve a bit more protection than that?</p>

 

Nah

I think the lads know I was only extracting the urine. However, it then occurred to me (after I'd posted) that some folk may have actually thought I was being serious. The written word does not always portray the actual emphasis intended.

 

It is all getting a bit hysterical.

We'll end uplooking like a right bunch of clowns. For me, Morgan was bullying Hume ashe knew he was our last front line striker, so he'd withdraw into his shell. I don't think he tried to fracture his skull, just clatter him badly. The fracture was the consequence of that reckless challange. D'Urso was guilty of not protecting the player. Morgan needs a ban and D'Urso some specs and a final warning.</p>

 

I know exactly what you mean on that one

 

Agreed.

over 10 matches and a large fine in my opinion</p>
