    It's not the profession to admit you're gay. Acting, singing, cooking and hairdressing it's almost expected of you to be gay.
    He has made a rod for his own back, but then footballers have never been the sharpest tools in the shed.

    Got to say (well I haven't got to but I'm going to.....) there's more than a hint of male insecurity on this thread. Calm down lads, I can't imagine he's going to want to bum any of us 😊 .

    Anyway, does anyone know whether he's any good at football? That's all I'd worry about should he become part of our young and hungry squad moving forward.

    Now there's a thought. Albion's first openly gay footballer. James McLean not wearing a poppy was bad enough. How would some of you cope 😊 ?

    I'm sure he will be popping up on quiz shows and strictly, before long he'll be on his way to his first million.

    It’s just ridiculous, why is this plastered all over the media? There’s far more important things going on for us to know about other than who some vaguely known footballer is sharing his bed with. Why is anyone interested? I don’t give a damn.

    Exactly Ketts! William says he’s brave but that’s bollox!!! Brave is a person tackling a terrorist who has guns or knives! Brave is somebody coming to help a victim who has been attacked!

    So why would Sian Massey ( lineswoman ) if at Blackpool get a separate shower and this gay Blackpool player still jumps in the shower with his team mates? I would feel more comfortable being in the same shower with Sian Massey if I was a Blackpool player 😂

    Meanwhile there’s mass atrocities still
    In Ukraine and we hear all this rubbish!!

    Just because he’s gay doesn’t mean he’d fancy sticking it up your a r s e in the showers Al!

    From what I’ve seen of it ( albeit thankfully through your trousers! ) it’s so saggy it scrapes along the ground these days!

    I worked with a mid 50’s gay boy when I was 17 years old in the menswear trade and he never once tried it on with me.

    As my manager said to me at the time, just because he’s gay it doesn’t mean he finds you attractive Mick!

    Joking apart though, given the law of probabilities he is going to be attracted by certain straight teammates.

    If any of us were put into an environment where we were naked with a selection of both gay and straight females of all shapes and sizes and colours I think it’s fair to say it would be impossible to keep the “Old Fella” in check.

    He’s bound to get a stiffy for someone just like we would I guess.

    I wonder what the protocol is in this scenario, does anyone know, are separate showers a thing in this instance?

    Facing your own internal fears is always the hardest place to start.
    Best of luck to him....just hope it doesn't distract from his football
    As 68 says....is he any good at football?

    He’s scored 30+ in his age group team for Blackpool this season I believe.

    I suppose he could still fancy blokes and be in the shower but just not be out the closet. There could have been 100s of footballers in this situation over the years. At least he’s open about it. He’s miles braver than folk on here estimate. He’s set himself up for being called a c*nt by middle aged, straight white blokes on football forums all around the country. ;-)

    Also, I don’t get the whole ‘there’s a war on so no other news is important’. That war is going to go on for months, maybe years…there’s room for other news!

    If he’d have got on with his life and not mentioned it in the press, but lived his life as a gay man then it would still have gotten out and he’d not be able to control the situation, giving his own narrative.
