Diouf...

[donnyroversfc]

... Any news from the club on those pictures of Diouf in the nightclub before a match yet? Has he been punished or not?

Is his most recent controversy (arrest and bail) good enough grounds to sack him?

[WBDRFC]

I wouldn't expect him to be sacked for a fight outside of a nightclub. Events that happen outside of the workplace are generally not dismissal offences - unless he charged and is found guilty.

i think it will just be swept under the carpet, i don't expect to see him again.

It may be swept under the carpet, but there's no guilt proven as far as I can see on this or the Bournemouth club accusation. Its all too easy for people to jump on his back... mainly coz he's pretty small.

[donnyroversfc]

Photographic evidence should've been pretty easy to find out the exact times he was at the nightclub.

Why isn't being arrested and bailed after a nightclub brawl a sackable offence? While ever he is contracted to our club he's representing us, so to then go out and commit an arrestable offence is bringing the club into disrepute.

At the very least he should be given a fine by the club, just like Titus Bramble received from Sunderland after his arrest.

I'd personally sack him. Our club probably laud him for it though "think of the publicityyyyyyyyyy".

Arresting some one is n`t a proof of guilt is it, I bet that dodgy looking teacher from Bristol is glad you`re not in charge of justice in this country, especially as it was that Dutch bloke who was found guilty of the Murder that he was arrested for!

[donnyroversfc]

No but it's still bringing the club into disrepute, whether he's guilty or not.

Rubbish! if he`s not guilty of anything regarding the latest incident, how can he bring the club into disrepute?

Lets go along with your suggestion then, sack him and then if he`s not guilty, the club can get the b*llocks sued off them for wrongful dismissal!



For clarification it says I edited your post, I clicked the wrong button by mistake and when I realised, I removed what I posted in your post and put it in this reply.  Sorry

At the very least he deserves a fine. He was arrested and then bailed so as far as the police are concerned he had some involvement, it's up to them to prove he's guilty.

He's still bringing our club into disrepute though and i expect the club to hand out some sort of punishment and/or statement about the matter. Can't just let him get away without punishment from our club for his arrest just because he's El-Hadji f**king Diouf! No wonder he shows this club a lack of respect, we let him get away with nightclubbing in the early hours of the morning of a game so now he knows he can do as he pleases.

Supernanny wouldn't stand for it.

As previously explained - we signed a player who was arrested, found guilty and served a jail sentance for a brawl in a nightclub. That's Sean O'Driscoll who signed a player, etc, etc. He also tried to sign the main culprint in that incident, but the transfer fell through due to him being injured - not him being a thug. You mentioned previously that you were against this transfer. Could you direct me to that opposition please?

Can you also please direct me to the offical club statement and punishment given to John Oster and James Hayter, who were allegedly involved in an alleged drunken brawl in a nightclub (allegedly). All I ever remember was some bumff about them being injured and rumours of the fight on here. But you being the expert like will of course have all the details.

Superanny would apply the rules to everyone - not just the ones she was prejudiced against.

[StocktonRover]

You really aren't very bright are you donny, as already explained, the Bristol guy was arrested and held in custody. He was still innocent.

It's highly likely that we won't see Diouf again so why rake up controversy?

Lots of innocent people are arrested. Sometimes it is purely procedural, even if there isn't any evidence of wrongdoing - for example to prevent interference with evidence. Being arrested does not imply involvement. Being charged means that is a realistic chance of him being found guilty. He hasn't been charged yet.

I would be livid if I was fined by my employer before being found guilty. In this country you are innocent until proven guilty.

[donnyroversfc]

He did not commit that offence while employed at this club though did he? I didn't want to sign us to sign Brooker, mainly because i thought he was gone at the game.

Was there actual proof of Hayter and Oster having been arrested? Pretty sure the rumours were to do with being too drunk and disorderly, cant remember reading anything about a brawl. I hate Oster anyway, he's a bigger nobhead than Diouf.

Diouf has been arrested and bailed, the news sites have all reported it being a brawl. Time for the club to do something, disgrace if they dont.

[PDX_Rover]

No point.  He will not be back at Rovers. Russia beckons.... or Derby.
