Brighton player refuses to sign autographs for children

[Herr Tubthumper]

But we don't actually know it was a) his approach and b) overblown.

The OP said it was the player who complained. And my response is in the context of this. If you're suggesting the OP is inaccurate or lying then fine, but that's a different discussion.

And if the player did complain I maintain it's overblown; if a pro-athlete (not to mention a father) can't deal with a few children then it's a very sad state of affairs.

OMG!! Really? A real gas fitter? Lucky b*stard! Wish my dad did something like that! Can you get me his autograph?

Not really he died in 1971! But if you'd asked me that in 1950 I'd have been over the moon. He might also have been impressed, as to my knowledge no one else had ever asked him

When I was last in Iceland supermarket, I saw a disabled football fan in a wheelchair go up to Alan Pardew telling him what a hero he was. Pardew pulled his phone out and lamped it over the disabled childs head until he was knocked out! Pardew really let himself down that day. I thought better of him until he was 'interrupted' doing his wedding preparations.
From what the staff told me, when Pardew walked off, he was oddly muttering something under his breath about managing a tin pot club?

Piss poor from Pardew, really piss poor.

Well yes, but was that honestly you in Iceland or are you taking credit for some chav Millwall fan that works for a Croydon retard.

And I still don't know who the player was so how am I supposed to Demonize him if you don't tell us who it was

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Which Brighton player has complained to the head of his children's school that other children keep asking for his autograph resulting in a whole of school assembly where the children were told not to approach him?

How long have you supported Palace ?

I was only in there waiting to get his autograph. I thought it was Jon Snow.

 

[Triggaaar]

at the stadium, yep. at training, propbably yep. at a club event yep.

at their kids school at pick up time? no.

Exactly. Hi, how was your day? Oh, hold on, tell me later.

Jesus christ,Albion Players are not pieces of meat to be pounced on at every given opportunity whenever they appear in normal life situations......leave the player alone ffs,its something he is not comfortable with around HIS kids at THEIR school,show some respect to his private life

Hello, please may I have an autograph please (Josh aged 5 and a 1/2) = "pieces of meat to be pounced on at every given opportunity"

Teach the kids respect of others.

It should be obvious not to ask for autograph in that situation.

Quite. It's his choice, no matter whether other people approve (and I strongly suspect the reason for his request is sensible anyway - who knows?). So the kids should be taught that it's right to respect his privacy.

However, as it's 2015 and impossible not to be offended by absolutely everything - especially when it's a greedy footballer and the full facts are irrelevant - I will now BOO every single player on Saturday and urge everyone to do the same. Getting to the Premier League would mean nothing unless we can drum this scoundrel out of the club.

 

[BigGully]

I cannot think that a player would make a complaint, perhaps he got pounced on a couple of times and a teacher has intervened and foreseen some unlikely safety issue, I doubt any player would actually physically go and see anyone to try and stop a few kids asking for autographs.

I am slightly surprised how righteous some on here can be, he is a footballer they are kids he should (if he isnt already) be pleased that he is recognised and appreciated (which I am sure he is) and the kids should have full freedom to show some passion and confidence to want a small recognition from a player of their local club, fill yer boots kids I say, I am sure he does with that complimentary drink or preferred table at some Brighton restaurant or flirty conversation with a pretty girl at the Christmas party, perhaps preferential rates for his leased Range Rover.

He really will survive a few kids busting his nuts.

Nothing to do with Palace though is it ?

Please stop trolling this board.

Just keep reporting them so the infractions mount up and they get banned. Dougle shouldn't be posting on this thread remember

He probably wasn't wearing a poppy either.

Good points very well made.

But is it true...call me a cynic but under 200 posts in 9 years ...but felt the need on this one

Blatant Mischief Making

Is this a GDC wind up cunningly contrived after a Wetherspoons breakfast?

When has that ever stopped a NSC binfest?

One post by the OP, without any further contribution to the thread, two Palace trolls, and lots of posts assuming this is true.


Classic.
