Trouble at St Albans

[Pretty Vacant]

Interesting message thread on the St Albans message board titled 'Observer'. It appears one or two saints players (including the captain Derek Brown) took exception to criticism levelled at them by a few of their own supporters and ended up following them out of the bar after a recent home match and attacking them. Allegedly.

 

What is disturbing is that no one has disputed what happened (its in their local paper, The Observer) but the club are taking no action against the players involved.

 

Now what would happen if it was fans attacking players?

 

If anyone wants to make comment, go to the thread now before it is removed or the board is closed down, as has been intimated. <img src="/images/graemlins/affig.gif" alt="" />

If I was one of the fans I would defiantely take police action.

One of the guys who was attacked went to the police on Saturday evening, but the Chairman phoned him on Sunday morning to apologise and tell him that the player (Rob Smith) would be sacked and he agreed to halt police action.

 

Since then, the Chairman appears to have gone back on his word, seemingly 'washing his hands of'/ignoring the whole incident and Smith (along with captain Derek Brown) remains at the club.

Have a look on the isthmian forum for more details.

This is why it's best to remain anonymous on these forums. Apparently players and managers can occasionally take exception to things written on here! I have a wardrobe full of disguises.

[Laz]

I'm the one who was attacked.

 

What annoys me is the lies our chairman has told the press to try and cover up the story.

 

This is a bl**dy discrace.

I'd suggest going to the police again if your chairman's gone back on his word. This is a disgrace and should NOT be happening at any level.

[Pavagrotti]

I'm sorry to hear of the allegations but there is still time to call at the police station and make a statement for police to investigate!

[Big J R]

I fancy a telephone call to the F.A. would be even more productive, if it was made clear of future action !
