He does right. We are a sinking ship right now.
-
Well I was told it was all for personal reasons, I'm not happy with the reaction of no Sharp today, that's for another thread....
Are we being spun another yarn! If we are, how many more lies will we be told?
-
:(
Can you tell us anything???
Gartom, whats going on?

Filo PM

Reminds me when we last sold all the clubs silver. Darren Moore. Colin Cramb.
Something isn't right at DRFC. JR can give us the propaganda but i'm sorry it doesn't wash now and i'm getting pissed off with how the club is being run.
-
Sorry I don't know

Maybe we are, but if he didn't play for any reason that's for the management. Sharp's likely to go, but given recent performances I don't think that's the biggest worry, SOD left the squad too reliant on him and that has to change.
-
If he handed in a transfer request, it doesn't mean he can then be absent from training and matches.
I'm finding it hard to believe that somebody with Billy's love of playing football would walk away from the club and refuse to train and play, even if he isn't happy. Surely he'd just ask to go in January?
-
A little note, when i took part in the stadium tour before the game today, Sharps shirt was hung up with his boots underneath like normal. Were the squad expecting him and he has had to stay off for this family reason. A bit of an odd one..

Billy did not train on Monday, but so did a lot of players who played last weekend, he did not train Thursday and Friday. This does not mean he is leaving, there could be family reasons for his absent. So we should not jump to conclusions. It's not fair on the club or him. Let's wait and see what happens.
-
DRFC Official has just tweeted that Billy missed the game for family reasons so if he was going or handed in a transfer request why would the club keep this from us? If he had not trained all week why hasn't anything been said in the pre match build up, papers etc? Quite frankly if he goes im not bothered if we go down im not bothered but we need to start again because what we have just paid our good money to watch was not good and I can honestly say in my opinion there was not 1 player on that pitch good enough to grace this league and its obvious we need a massive clear out. I just hope the only player they leave is Bennett because he is the only exciting prospect.
-
Mr Frost do you realy suport the Rovers ?
-
Dean Saunders has said that it is a serious family problem. I don't think he (or anyone) would be lying about that for the sake of keeping a transfer secret for a matter of days.
-
From what i have heard it is a Real Family Issue,not prepared to say what, but if it is then we need to support the lad in this difficult time.
He will be back very soon i imagine
:scarf: RTID
-
Correct. JR confirmed the 'family issues' to me yesterday. Lets calm down on here eh?
Everyone seems so eager to plant another 'We're doomed' type of post.
Its getting suicidal - we need to lighten up and sort out facts from 'my mates uncle's cousins neighbour knows for a fact stuff'......
-
I've heard hes joined Man Utd from my dogs last owners mums best friend.
-
Agree entirely Viking.
If it is personal don`t add to his troubles. He is at this moment still one of ours,cut him some slack. :huh:
-
I don't believe any of it. I think it's all WM's fault.

gartom,not a dig at you in any way shape or form,but if sir john confirmed the \"family issues\" would it not have been wise to add and billys going no where?
and thanks for the news update
-

The fact is he may go if the right offer is there. NOTHING JR could say would help ease rumours and worries about that - 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' applies. At this time JR is wise to stay as much as possible with the facts as well as describing the plans of the club as it is today. He did that clearly enough IMO.
-
I know someone who is friends with Billy and the reason for his no show on sat really was for personal family reasons as I'm sure most will find out soon enough. But for the minute he's going nowhere.
-
Are they good or very good friends :)
-
Getting really tired of the

act more than a few forum members are indulging in.
Give it a rest until there's some cast iron facts, eh chaps?
-
I think you know the answer to that Epworth Red! Let's just say our panic on Saturday was unjustified.

AN article no doubt cause by posts on this forum...
-

No
-
Sharp, 25, played under Adkins at Scunthorpe
Factually wrong! Brian Laws was manager at Scunny when Billy was there!
-
I know the real reason for Sharps absence but Filo wouldn't let me tell you. So I've removed my post. Fair enough in my opinion, it is personal and will come out in the wash eventually.
-
Whatever his personal reasons are (and I don`t know them) it`s not appropriate to post them on a public forum, be it the truth or speculation, thats why they are personal! for that reason i`m going to edit your post!
-
************************** I'd be surprised if he went to Southampton, as he doesn't want to move from the North.
EDIT! For the same reasons outlined to Donnyjim, personal issues should remain personal issues until such time as the individual chooses to make them public, and for your information I do NOT know if what you said or not is true. Just respect the lads privacy!
-
I don't think it's anyone's business. if he's unavailable for personal reasons that's all we need to know.
-

In theory, of course, you are right, but to an extent he is in the public eye and therefore people will want to know.
Replace \"Billy Sharp\" with \"Wayne Rooney\" and you'll see what I'm getting at.
And before you ask, I personally do not feel the need to know- but others will.
-
TRB I see exactly what you're saying. I think it's a bit different when Rooney etc flaunt their lives in public, but when they keep them quiet as Sharp etc does, I don't think it's any of anyones business.
Seems to be far too much mischief going on at the moment, I heard everything from family issues, to illness, to being at Ipswich (they weren't even at home) to having refused to ever play for the manager again. That kind of stuff is mischevious and helps nobody. If the lad's got personal problems let's hope he'll be feeling the love again from the 10,000 Doncaster people who love him to bits.....
-
I aint interested in what has gone off with him. It's his reasons and should not be put out there. My only question is will he be playing tomorrow night?
... and will he bang a hat-trick in too :P
-
I'm sure most people would still be expected to turn up for work no matter what family problems they had.
-
That's true... although compassionate leave is granted at managers discression.
End of the day I dunno what his circumstances are but I assume it must be bad for Billy to miss a game. Let's wish him the best and hope he returns swiftly :scarf:
-

Bullshit mate. Family problems covers all sorts of things, but if the more serious things happen, no way would 99% of employers expect you to work. :thumbdown:

Who`s your boss? Hitler? Gadaffi? Pol Pot, Chairman Mao?
-
I owe a big apology, my source was wrong about the transfer request, it is for family reasons, once again sorry.
-

No a small family business who would insist it was taken as annual leave.
-
Do footballers get Annual Leave??
-
if you notice billy hasnt tweeted since wednesday so i think he has family problems.
-
Broadband cut off!! ;)

I think you`ll find they are breaking employment law if the insist you take annual leave, what happens if you`ve used up all your annual leave, they are obliged to let you take unpaid leave!
In many cases you have the right to take time off work to deal with an emergency involving someone who depends on you (sometimes called compassionate leave). You can’t be penalised by your employer for taking the time off, providing your reasons for taking it are genuine.
-
Apologies Filo, I posted at the same time as you told us to stop, you're right of course, it is personal and I will speak no more on the matter.
-
Family problems could be
I want to move im taking my family to have a look cos they dont want to
trying to persuade them
-
Some people on here are gonna look utter and total brainless, tactless arseholes if the reason for Billys absence ever comes to light, and I guess he probably wouldnt want to represent most of them again.

In which case as Billy will have used his leave in the summer I hope he isn't being paid in his absence. I don't remember Stocky not playing with his family emergency last season.

Or to add to that they could be a compassionate employer and continue to pay him, unlike your Victorian-esqe employer

At last a post that reminded me how to smile :thumbsup:

Why don`t people just mind their own business, I did`nt go on Saturday for family reasons, but I`m fked if I`m telling you what they where.

Agreed, Do we think this thread should be removed totally out of respect??
-
Definitely
-
yes please.
-
Yes please remove.
-
I agree remove this thread
-
Yep let's have it gone.
-
no it should stay and be put at the top of the board as a reminder to everyone who posted on it...
-
In fairness, looking through it the majority of the posts were that personal issues should be left at that. But I don't really think we need to have these kind of arguments, it's just petty and pointless, the most important thing is to get behind the lad when he returns to the pitch in the future.
-
I see your point, but I stick by my original suggestion. The last thing we want is Billy or anyone connected to his family assuming that a small portion of nob-heads on this site represent us all.
The whole thing should just be forgotten about, those who posted know who they are and will feel (I hope) bad enough. Then their would be no disrespect shown and Billy/family can get on with the hard job they've got to do.
Pleas Admin/Mods, consider the majortiy and remove this thread.
