Thanks for that Ronnie. How many other aliases are you using to keep this one going? ;)

So you don't want him cancelled, just to lose his job based on actions years ago.

With all due respect, if you're a plumber you're the last person in the world to be holier than thou.

He can keep his old job, no problem.

I just didn't want Ling to give him a new job at my football club.

I'm less concerned about the shagging and gambling, that can be forgiven.

I'm more concerned that he was damaging the club when tapping up our players. You don't get to come back after that. Is the tapping up bit actually true?

Right, so now you want him sacked based on actions years ago.

But not cancelled, got it.

He can carry on doing whatever he was doing before, that's fine.

But he has been, so would you like him sacked now or not?

It’s one of those things that’s a bit depressing that it’s happened, but not much we can do about it except say that it’s . It’s not about Terry, it’s about the club seemingly not recognising that a move like this is gonna piss people off.

Given the desperate situation the board were in and length of time it got RW to sign it wouldn't be surprising that letting him pick his no. 2 was part of the deal.

I dunno.

Have they got that much history together? Would RW have been so insistent on PT being his number 2 that he'd have turned down the job without him?

I reckon it was more a case of RW suggesting it and Lingy simply going along with it. It's another ex Ling player so suited him. He and the board just didn't see the backlash from the fans.

Plus Justin Edinburgh didn't come out well from the boys suicide. I'm sure he looked back on that and regretted some of his actions.

Where do you draw the line?

Of course, we all can not easily prevent ourselves from judging others. There was something hard to like about the way that P T played his football when he made appearances with us. Cynical to the point of being nasty at times; well that was the impression I gained. He does not seem to have been much punished for his "crimes", either. He has bad odour.

Then again, it is so easy to be holier than thou. If he can somehow show some contrition and humility of the kind that Ricky Otto was perfect at, well and good. Just wish he could start the process at some other club.

I have no recollection of Gary Alexanders arrival.

It's well documented that Mackie racially abused a fellow professional footballer, he has talked openly and honestly about it.

Hehe - but GaryDog - that's all you've been doing for the last day or so. I can't stand John Terry, couldn't recall the Paul Terry incident but you're on a one man mission to sh-it stir this for all it's worth. I know accountancy is boring but you're overcompensating mate.

Why do you feel you're so superior to Paul Terry, you've probably all had your collar felt at one time or another, a couple of you may even have been inside. Your hypocrisy disgusts me

This has been reported to me. Please do not make allegations of this nature unless you can prove all of the above have had their collars felt. Allegations against Hotdogs are fine though.

Appreciate this is an emotive subject but quite a lot of you on both sides of this debate need to calm the f*** down and get a grip of yourselves. Otherwise I have to start moddin' and I can't really be arsed to referee boarders behaving like wankpuffins.
