Why not just type properly anyway though?
outlaw_member said:People's character and opinions outside of their work shouldn't affect their jobs, unless there is a direct conflict between the two. There are millions of people who have qualms with their jobs but continue doing it, just like Ansah. Just because they happen to state their hatred for it after hours, or state their favouritism towards a rival does not mean that they should be condemned. The only evidence against Ansah states that he is a Man Utd fan who isn't afraid to dish out at rival Arsenal fans. The only real criticism you could have is that he should be more respectful to his employers and that is all. That's also not to say that he isn't respectful because for all we know he is a well behaved player who respects his coaches and peers.

If you were an intern for Nike and published statements online that Nike was rubbish, you hated it, you wouldn't wear it and you much prefered Reebok because they made infinitely better products, then these comments made their way into the media you would almost certainly lose your internship and you sure as hell wouldn't be offered a full time position.
It's not the same though. If you were a salesman for Nike then your comments would conflict with your work because you were being contradictory. Not to mention that your opinion on products can change with every passing minute. Your support for a club is infinite, so an employer has to respect his employees desire to support another club. Like I said, he was disrespectful but there really isn't much more to it. Especially, none of this crock **** about him being an illiterate and how he should be sent packing.qs said:If you were an intern for Nike and published statements online that Nike was rubbish, you hated it, you wouldn't wear it and you much prefered Reebok because they made infinitely better products, then these comments made their way into the media you would almost certainly lose your internship and you sure as hell wouldn't be offered a full time position.

Del Boy said:And who pays his wages? Arsenal fans that pay 60 quid to watch the team at the Emirates. You think he can continue to lambast our fans and have a future at the club?
If he continues this sort of behaviour and eventually plays in a meaningful match of some sort then the abuse from the fans will be off the charts. And as we seen with Megson at Bolton if they fans voice their opinions loud enough then eventually they will be listened to.

Maybe he just couldn't be bothered. Maybe he was oblivious to the 300 A-M members who were going to scrutinised his webpage. Maybe he thought that this is the one place where he can write exactly like how he talks, without a teacher telling him otherwise. It's a networking page, who the f**k actually cares about how coherent it is.

Eh? 60,000 people pay good money every week to this club and it falls down the chain to players. How can you condone him telling them "go kill yourselves" or "arsenal aint english".

Exactly. What is the bets Outlaw is wearing an Arsenal jersey when he posted that?kel varnsen said:Del Boy said::|outlaw_member said:I don't contribute to his wages and neither to the large majority of Arsenal fans.

not only that. merchandise, tv money, prize money etc are all direct or indirect payed for by the fans.
qs said:Whether he said it on Facebook, on TV, out on the town or wherever it doesn't change what he said.
qs said:Completely irrelevant. No different to him posting on his facebook and Shava posting on his blog. The reality is this kid has an opportunity that he's been given by Arsenal and it comes with certain responsibilities. One of those is not to embarrass the club publicly by posting s**t like this on the internet.
