A handful of Plymouth fans have made similar comments. A few detectives on the facebook group worked out this particular gimp was employed as steward at plymouth through a third party security company. After a number of emails to pafc and the security company he's lost his job.

I have no sympathy, you must always think before you post on social media, what you find funny and acceptable may be completely different to what your employers do.

In general, yes. In this particular instance I can't see how anyone could construe what he wrote as in any way funny.

Let's face it. Anyone ending their name in an 'i' where there should be a 'y' is wither a kitson or in the American porn industry. And if Andi is a bloke... He deserves sacking anyway.

Bloke writes a load of b*****xs on Facebook shocker, , so no sympathy there, well done for reporting him and getting him sacked you sensible chaps, and for reminding me why I dont use it.

You are showing a touch too much knowledge of the American porn industry there if I may say so PDX...

Ironic that the person causing all this bother escapes scot free.
I wonder what the directors of Plymouth think or do the three points outweigh everything else?
These points were being won anyway so why didn't McCormick just get on with it?

Was the right decision by his employer in this instance. And I agree people should also consider what they write on social media in the public domain.

It wasn't McCormick's fault that he got off scot-free, it was the officials. With that in mind it can be said it's them who have caused all the bother.

And they will get off scot-free.

That was my point BB. he caused it all and just walks off.
How can the ref not deem some action towards him unnecessary?
Title: Re: Plymouth steward
Post by: Bentley Bullet on December 12, 2016, 11:02:07 pm
I don't think the officials did McCormick any favours in the long run. If they had done their job properly and booked him in the first place, the second incident might not have happened. Then McCormick's fragile character might have escaped so much media disproval.

Aren't the FA allowed to step in a retrospectively impose punishment if ref fails to act ... for keeper not steward

Anyone with any sense that had had as much media scrutiny as McCormick would keep their heads down.
A yellow card for him after the penalty would have been not only appropriate but calm both players and fans.
We are probably too far down the chain for the FA to bother with any retrospective action.

But the ref did act. It has to be something he missed altogether for any retrospective intervention.

.....Or ignored. Either way, he wasn't doing his job properly.

The keeper left is line and stood threateningly over a lad on his knees.
He was also shouting at him. If this isn't ungentlemanly conduct/aggressive behaviour what is.
If only he had taken his shirt off, that would have been a definite yellow. I wonder if more would have been made of it if had been a televised game?
