| This year alone Aspinwall has had suspended sentence for assault, been jailed for dangerous driving and now suspended by Hull FC, is he that good a player that we should ignore all of this and keep him. I think not, get rid

I follow a lot of players on twitter, from a lot of clubs. Believe me, a lot of first grade SL players are out on most weekends, and not afraid to put it in the public eye.

I see no problem with this, like the rest of us they enjoy a few and know how to behave!

I don't see any problem either, in the off season that is. But obviously, not all know how to behave!

| So we have separate behavioural codes based on each players ability?

Two points:
1. Not all of the rest of us 'like a few', and not many (if any) of the rest of us are professional athletes.
2. Very clearly, not all of them know how to behave.
IMO drinking should be kept to a bare minimum or eliminated altogether once full-time training starts. Alcohol and pro sports don't mix well.

No, but we are getting to be.
Raynor - retained through a conviction for assault in a nightclub, ultimately binned pending a further criminal conviction whilst in our last chance saloon
Tansey - released from Leeds with a "reputation". Binned off after multiple disciplinaries involving alcohol, in saloon mentioned above
Gleeson - signed with a "reputation" - released after a handful of appearances
Let's not even bring up the Reardon signing
On top of this:
Westerman - signed with a "reputation"
Seymour - signed with known problems, involved in a serious incident just before arriving
Aspinwall with more than one conviction to his name.
The "joke" for me is that, given our form in dodgy signings and the subsequent fallout, why we insist on a Groundhog Day scenario.

'eh
Not sure what your post is about, [ugenerally[/u most adults like a few drinks, obviously we are not all professional athletes. I agree not all of them know how to behave. Alcohol can mix as long as it is done in moderation most adults be it sports professionals or not know this.

Are you really that niave that you believe a player's ability isn't a consideration when it comes to whether or not he is sacked or kept.

| I'm assuming everyone calling for his head have the full facts? What if the outcome of any investigation is that there is no case to answer?
Not saying it's likely, just that people may be being a bit quick to 'have a go' at both Aspinwall and the club.

I know clubs do it but what sort of code does this send to youngsters?
The way you put it is that you agree.
It's a good job Ian Huntley was never awarded caretaker of the year.

If this was an isolated signing of ill-repute and a one-off incident, I'd agree. Fact is we have multiple "previous" on this front and I'm fecking sick of it.

it does seem that way, most thought it was a poor signing/not needed so its an easy target to go for
from what i heard, he wasnt the only 'naughty fc player' over the weekend

So it seems.
OK - consumption of quantities of alcohol way too great to be good for health is pretty rife. The phrase 'like a few' - in the way that it's normally used - IMO trivialises this fact. Pro athletes have more reason than most to avoid alcohol as it has some fairly extensive effects on human physiology and interferes with fitness/recovery in relatively small quantities. Hence my comment about it not mixing well.

You appear to be confusing 'like a few' with getting 'ed', 'legless', 'a@rsholed' and 'p!ssed'.

Very true, Harry Rednapp was quite critical of the English way of celebrating after his FA cup win at Portmouth.
