Danny Simpson (now retired)


Recommended Posts

He still threw the first punch though - right?

 

What would you do if somebody started pushing you?  I know what I'd do and it wouldn't be wait for somebody else to get the first one in.

 

Dude I don't know what I'd do in that situation - I'm just pointing out - he's a professional footballer with a target on his back. He should know better than to be getting himself wound up in these situations. He clearly doesn't - and there is no defending him. There's no defending the guy he hit who shoved him and the 2 that thumped him and left him unconscious.  There is no right here.

 

Danny is 26, has a child and a career - he has too much to lose to be putting himself about like that. That's all I'm trying to say.

Oh Danny, making Manchester proud. I know that takeaway he was at. Not a rough area at all, it's close to where I work in fact.

 

It was you!

I'd probably push them back tbh, I wouldn't instantly try to knock them out :lol:

 

Depends though doesn't it. Would have to be there to say one way or the other imo.

I have to say if I was out and some bloke started pushing me I would probably punch him. If I created the situation them I'm the dick but if someone is just being aggressive towards me then he has asked for it.

That's very subjective though and everyone thinks they're in the right. We've all had a few drinks, etc., calm down, calm down.

Why is he a donkey? Because we have replaced him with a superior player? The treatment of this guy by supporters of his own club is frankly an embarrassment and shameful.

 

Incidents like this are why I am against alcoholism and do not partake of alcohol other than a few sips for public appearance. Even still, I have been in a fair share of physical battles. Luckily, I have been competent and/or sober enough to avoid being knocked from my conscious. Given what I read in the "chat" section of this very message board, most of you are hardly in a position to be judgmental regarding this sort of thing. I am happy the boy is alright.

I agree to a large extent. He has done his best, which isn't good enough for some, but that is all he has, and all we had. His lifestyle choices seem wrong for what he does for a living, but we all make mistakes. I expect he will have a long time to think about this later. I'm not going to preach about that for obvious reasons.

 

Would be interested to hear who fancied their chances against you, though. I thought you were a big lad. I've always talked my way out of that sort of situation, or, more accurately, not put myself there in the first place. Cluck, cluck, whatever.
