| Quote ="El Diablo"Seems unlikely that the people in Japan currently have nothing better to worry about than what Ryan Bailey posts on Facebook. That said, he clearly needs to be aware that his internet activities are visible to a lot of people who know his employer. If I made a comment on Facebook which was grossly inappropriate (and I speak hypothetically as I have no idea what was written in this instance) and that was seen by people who know me in relation to my work, my employer would take a pretty dim view of it, and disciplinary action would be a real possibility.
Somebody should explain this to all Big Daft Lads using very short words, and pictures where necessary. They are, after all, employed by organisations who depend on the paying punters (TV, live or corporate) for the income which pays said Big Daft Lads salaries, so occasional engagement of brain wouldn't go amiss. There are many private spheres in which you can make all the crass jokes you want if that's your thing. The internet aint one of them.'"
Agree with every word El D. I think an appearance on Gary's carpet and a formal or even final written warning for Bailey is the appropriate action and a then press statement saying what the club have done and that the matter is now resolved and closed would be the way to go for me. I think most employers, even for those outside the public arena, would take a dim view of this sort of behaviour but probably would not lead to the sack however, expect an anti-Bailey back-lash.

| If (and I repeat if) he has brought himself into disrepute then the appropriate punishment should be a fine sent to the Japan disaster fund.

Genius Andy, but think about the target audience. Unless they google him they will be "David who?"

Agree. Sacking, or even suspension would be extremely strong, unless you're in a very overtly public-facing job and/or you work for or with the diplomatic service in Japan or something. Or the comments were in REALLY poor taste, racist etc.

That would seem very appropriate.
Quote ="Andy Gilder"David Sylvian supports St Helens?'"
Only financially if Damo's statement is to be taken at face value. This could be an untapped resource for investment in the sport. Lots of ageing musicians must have plenty of spare cash, tucked away so they can retire to a Quiet Life, and with property prices falling they may seek Obscure Alternatives for investment.

| Of course its a much ado about nothing!
Mocking the hundreds of thousands of people who's lives have been wrecked by something totally unimaginable, spending the next 30yrs having to rebuild your life and dealing with the loss of family and friends.
Yeah - lets all take the p*ss at their expense.
Cretin!

| Everyone sends in a pound to a charity fund and the first player to knock Bailey bandi in a game gets to present a cheque to the Tsunami appeal?
Everyone's a winner!

| Maybe Bailey should take the cheque out there himself.
Its all nice and easy to comment from 1000s of miles away, and pass off a comment in jest, but im sure the reality would soon hit home when he actually went out there.

What Bailey did was immature, so a suggestion to his punishment was to see who could knock him out first, you must wake me up when that becomes a mature reply to what happened.

| I didnt suggest it - but i do reckon he should go out to Japan.
All too easy to open his toothless gob and spout off in the name of 'banter'!

| I can see how the ridicule and derision of an idiotic individual can be directly and equally compared to the suffering, damage and horrendous loss of life and community in a country at the other side of the world.
I stand corrected....

You're the only one to mention "knocking someone out" upto this point in the thread.

| I'm not trying to justify his behavior, it was immature and crude, but then again it's being blown out of proportion by other fans who have already started sticking the pins into there Bailey voodoo dolls. I bet thousands if not millions of people have passed on comments/jokes about the recent events, would you suggest all of them are shipped to Japan?

I agree... attacking "Radders" fist with his head was totally out of order. We should send him to Japan.

| Chuff me you'd think he'd caused the tsunami! I received about half a dozen text jokes on the same subject over the weekend. Most were really crap and the only one that made me chuckle was aimed at Arsenal. Yeah, that one!
Some real self-righteous a-holes on here!

You misunderstood, I was on your side showing sarcasm to Gotchas stupid comment. Gotcha said people we're obsessed with TMFMISL and started banging about his ability when his playing ability is not what the thread is about...Hence my response of 'relevance to the topic is...?'
