    They must all have conduct clauses in their contract?

    Surely you would expect him to be professional? He obviously took the armband. Only one person to blame here and that's O'Connor! He didn't tell the manager to feck off, he accepted it. He is just trying to make a public statement.

    Even if he kept us up, would you still not want him?The likes of Bowyer or Hurst are nice quiet types, they won't galvanise this lot. Evans just might, just give him a contract till end of season and see what happens.

    Fair enough but I would refuse as the manager had just said I wasn’t capable of doing it

    Did he do his job? Is he getting paid to be captain?

    He has just been told he isn’t up to being captain. Why then ask him to do it? Stupid decision

    So do you praise edin everytime Doyle scores a goal ?
    Sounds desperate blaming edin for everything . Oconner has been a prat . Of his own doing

    Why accept it? It's not compulsory. It's more stupid to accept it.

    I wasn’t there so don’t know how it ended up at him so did he have the chance to refuse it when given?

    Of course, he can refuse it, it's not compulsory. He refused it when he threw it the goal, didn't he?

    Someone saying on twitter O'connor told him that the stitching was rubbing and that's why he took it off.

    I call BS

    I'm a third generation Bantams fan, like many of you out there. From all the stories my Grandad and Dad told me, and through everything I've experienced at Valley Parade in my 59 years of life, I don't know of any player at our so much valued club disrespecting us like this. O'Connor should never pull on the claret and amber again. Get him out of here. A total disgrace. I am SO blazing about this.

    Does it really surprise you. Previous. Seems a lack of discipline in the club and leadership.

    To the impending next drama

    He was made vice captain. In the event of the captain going off (which clearly happened today) he became captain for the second half.
    Do your job instead of acting like a spoilt petulant child. It's grossly unprofessional.
