Sack Pendles (and De Goey!)

Post by thesoretoothsayer »

I'm sorry to say it but I think the club has no option to immediately sack Pendles over his hateful, misogynistic tweet.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I said in another thread that if I had my way none of our players would have any social media engagement. No good can come from it. They shouldn't be tweeting. They definitely shouldn't be reading bulletin boards.

He doesn't rate crap, good on him! Neither do I.

Should have gone further and called it for the farce it is, a disgrace to associate such a dismal comp with the real thing.

Can't help but agree.

I'm actually proud the captain I support feels the same way I do.

I don't think we can really conclude anything about how the captain feels.

All we can tentatively assume is that he doesn't think about the women's game at all and thus has no feelings about it at all.
