Rochdale away friendly War of the Roses

Its bad enough from opposition fans but shocking if its from our own, then again nothing should suprise anyone anymore, looks like being as offensive as possible on You Tube is the way to go.

 

I think he must be still drunk or needs to learn to read or reply to the comment t he is referring to.

 

Roger it was a few lads at the back of our fans, I thought at the time it was distasteful but nothing more.
If it happens again at any away game as i'm sure it won't happen at VP i'll take more notice of the culprits.
I'm sure it was loud enough for our fans to hear but not loud enough to carry to the other side of the ground.

 

We've got Anderson m8.

 

At last, clarity. Thanks very much, as I said above I will ensure Paula Watson knows tomorrow so we are alert to any more issues on the subject.

 

Fans singing about Robbo.

Robbo is like the invisible man.

The club haven't made a statement
The police haven't made a statement
Robbo hasn't made a statement

How can anyone sing about him when they don't know what's happening.

Been nearly a year.

However, Bradford City not giving him a squad number without explaining why is always going to create issues don't you think @wetherbywhaler .. maybe, time a statement goes out.

 

Cortisone, has a lot to answer for.

 

Some player play through minor injuries like Dean Windass t took a lot for him to miss out. Wouldn’t be allowed these days though

 

If you want to know what he is doing look on Instagram he is on everyday.

 

Just don’t believe him if he gives a return date

 

Thought you said you didn’t want to get into an argument? Your comments on this matter have been quite bolshy. Looking at the response from a City fan to the original tweet, it appears the chanting was from our own fans

 

I couldn't care less if he is on your cloud.

What I want to know is:

Is he coming back?
If so when?

If things are ongoing then the club should just say so?

Do a Fleetwood and put the talk to bed then chants won't happen.

 

I doubt the club can say anything whatsoever. They will not know, hard to make a statement on the status quo which has been in place since August 2018. His legal team could if they haven’t already, give a blast to the CPS, it is extremely difficult to push as he hasn’t been charged with any crime. The club could take advice from Safeguarding @ Bradford Council. It might mean putting restrictions and appropriate supervision in place. However, given the length of time this is taking it might be worth trying something like this.

Not sure if City have a Safeguarding person?

 

Cibasteve has clarified which is all I needed, move on now.

 

Fleetwood did and I believe their manager is still managing them.

Sheffield Utd did.

Of course the club could make a statement.

"Robinson hasn't been given a squad number as yet due to on going off the field issue. When these matters are addressed the club will then decide what's happening in terms of his playing future at the club"

What would be wrong with the above?

Unless the club has already decided his fate.

Do you know if he has a future at the club?

 

Yeh just a few youngsters. Nothing really offensive just a bit inappropriate.

 

To be fair he made a couple of tackles but he's still absolutely clueless with the ball at his feet.

 

We'd be in a lot of trouble if we didn't have a designated safeguarding officer so I'm sure we do. Also, we train at a school, who will have their own safeguarding team and policies which presumably we would be in breach of if Robinson was anywhere near the training ground whilst investigations are still ongoing. I think the club are handling the situation exactly as they should be doing at the current time but what is telling for me is that since the start of pre season, Robinson seems to have been doing a lot of partying and taking a fair few holidays - not the actions of someone expecting to be back in contention for the start of the season imo.

 

I was talking to Charlie Rackstraw and Tom Hallett about this last season , and they both said you could never afford to miss a game with a slight strain in those days as you missed out on your £2 win bonus. They were on about £15 to £20 per week in those days. I used to keep scrap books and there's an article from Stafford Heginbotham saying that 16 players is all we will be having this season, and only if someone goes will anyone else be coming in. Different world to today when we have about 30 players on the books.

 

So why can't he train away from the school and play on a match day?

Others have trained and played until all settled?

Club has handled it so well that are own fans are singing about the situation... ok mate!
