relámpago blanco Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Do people miss the old days of shit and controversy or something? He's made a mistake, people do. I'm not defending him but we also don't know the circumstances. He might have been a tiny bit over. He might not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Anderson is promising but looked poorer against sheff we'd and one backpass nearly led to a goal for them. Howe will have the facts so however he plays it will be correct I feel as he’s done everything else right so far. If he shots get dropped then maxi plays for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping him for the Fulham game due to a clear failure to meet expected standards might be an outcome I would think (though I’m not saying it will - or should - be). Shame as I can’t imagine anyone wants that given his form - and any ‘punishment dropping’ would likely be temporary (like ten Hag dropping Rashford the other week, albeit under different circumstances). And if he plays vs Fulham that’s ok with me too - the gaffer and the club will likely get the decision right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think a one-match suspension from the club as a slap on the wrist and we'll move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think the moral outrage is justified. Nice to see our fans absolutely consistent on this and not swayed by the fact he’s an NUFC player. Anyway, I’m off to the transfer thread to discuss how we can spend our Saudi blood money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he plays vs Fulham that’s ok with me too - the gaffer and the club will likely get the decision right. As people have said, the law will deal with this according to the particular context. More tricky is how Eddie and the club will deal with it. This is a club that is more embedded in its community than most clubs of its size, and within the club Eddie has brought a strong ethic of team work and mutually applied standards. He has used both of these aspects to the team's advantage, but now it feels we have to pay the due price of that. I'm not saying he should throw the book at Joelinton, but this can't be treated as a purely private matter. He is a public figure, a role model, and he appears to have committed a criminal offence. What Eddie can't afford to do is downplay the significance of this out of fear that the team's performance will dip if Joelinton doesn't play. Without pre-judging the court outcome, the player should be dropped at this point on the grounds that the player and the team would not be in the right mindset otherwise.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 He'll lose his license, pay a fine. Howe is likely to drop him on Sunday and you know with Howe that if the midfield trio perform then he'll have a fight to get his place back. Couple that with some work with the Foundation and that will be the matter dealt with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Don't see what dropping him for a game achieves. Fine him, have him attend a course, do some community awareness work, throw him and his car into the Tyne, stuff like that. A day off work isn't what I'd usually prescribe as punishment.

Not sure why people compare it to the average job when it comes to it being a day off or they wouldn't be punished in their job Football is clearly very different and even Howe made comments when criticising Klopp's behaviour about having a responsibility to how he conducts himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Rashford was dropped for turning up late to training fwiw. Howe is a super professional guy, and he has to consider the wider implications on professional standards at the club. If he handwaves this away it sets poor examples to others and in particular the young players. Comparing it to Joe Smith from Blakelaw is apples to oranges. Most people don’t earn that sort of money and have the access to whatever they want as Joelinton does. I like him, but he’s 26 not 18, and not his first transgression.
