Tricky, were you as vociferous in recent seasons when it was Rooney and Drinkwater and many others over the limit?

If not, and I don't recall your slating those players or their clubs, then it is perfectly natural that Rams fans view your righteous behaviour as little more than mischief making. If you did slate all those other players and other clubs then you may hold your head high.

I would add that DCFC left both drivers out of the Birmingham game. Other players have been selected immediately by their clubs....... and yes, I wouldn't have played them until after the court case but that isn't my decision.

Actually, I was and would be again.

If a teacher was found with child **** on their computer.
How would you proceed?

Carry on teaching until you are convicted?
Suspend them perhaps, whilst the law does its job?

I think you know the answer to that.
The morons in the cars is one thing. But a football club carrying on like nothing has happened?
Lunacy.

Absolutely not. The teacher is a possible danger to the children in his/her care and the children shouldn't be put in harm's way so you suspend the teacher on full pay so he can't influence (or worse) children during the course off his duties.

When training or playing a player awaiting a DD trial isn't going to force alcohol down the throat of a teammate or an opponent...... As I said, I wouldn't play either of them but I have no idea what the full reasoning of DCFC is so can't comment on that.

Quite right. I know that example is an extreme, but following RA analogy, you're innocent till found guilty. There was nothing wrong in playing them?
I'm sorry, that's not true. The club was brought into disrepute and they should have been removed until after the court case.
It was the only decent and respectful thing to do.
The club has this badly wrong for me.
The players themselves, well what's done is done. They have to answer for it. But DCFC had handled it very well until that last game.
Now they have undermined every piece of public opinion going.

Read the comments here. Very passionate some of the folks here.
