Apparently Ashley Cole has shot a work experience boy at the Chelsea training ground with an air gun.
Don't know why.
-
Well, 'cause he's a knob basically.
-
Apparently? Who says?
-
And he had an air gun at training because?
-
At the time of my post I had only heard a rumour.
Now it's on the Telegraph website: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/8349977/Chelsea-defender-Ashley-Cole-shoots-club-intern-with-a-pellet-gun.html

Torres had first go. Kept missing
-
Well, what a cock.
That's assult, innit?
-
This must surely be the greatest H&V thread title ever.
-
Maybe he said his ex couldn't sing

Related to Wembley and Ricoh Arenas?

Storm. Teacup.
Anyone would think that shooting students was a bad thing.

It's probably not even illegal. Is it?
And he's a Sports Studies student, apparently. Three years of running fast and watching football matches in provincial pubs before being awarded a free pass to becoming a PE teacher. Bulletworthy.

I hope the lad recovers so he can return to be pistol whipped by Drogba.
-
He's lucky he wasn't doing work experience on piranha tank day. Or electrocution Monday
-
...with his liquid silk stream.
Oh, with an actual gun? What a prick.
-
I bet there is a few people who would love to shoot Ashley Cole.
-
Maybe he said his ex couldn't sing
Why, who is the intern's ex?
No I meant maybe the intern said that chezza couldn't sing so thats why he shot him. Obviously a poor choice of humour
-
I think Ashley needs understanding, things have obviously got to him.
What with the widespread antipathy towards him since the infamous remarks in his autobiography about his more than reasonable wage demands, and then a messy split from the talented Cheryl.
My sources also tell me he has a long held bitterness about the fate of his fellow footballers Andres Escobar and Tommy Ball. It may have been a genuine albeit misguided attempt on his part to defend poor downtrodden footballers.

WHY HAS A FOOTBALLER GOT A FUCKING GUN AT THE TRAINING GROUND ????

It should be applauded, if any of them fancy going on the rampage the more guns around their changing ground the better.
-
Surely this should now stop the persistent rumours of them trying to tempt Salifou away from us with a big money bid.
-
Darren Bent did the same thing once.
-
Has there EVER been anything about him that comes out in the papers that's good?
-

He heard the manager say he must improve his shooting after his recent penalty against Everton.
-
Why am I not surprised at this headline!

Just to take our mind off things, this is quite unbelieavable
Ashley Cole 'shoots student'
Sun, 27 Feb 01:06:00 2011
Chelsea and England full-back Ashley Cole accidentally shot an intern at the club's training ground with a .22 calibre air rifle, according to a report.
The News Of The World reported that Cole was "larking about" with the weapon, which he brought to the state of the art complex at Cobham complete with a muzzle and nightscope, when he discharged it from a distance of five feet.
Tom Cowan, a sports science student at Loughborough University who is on a year's work placement with Chelsea, was in the dressing room when the incident happened last Sunday.
Sources at Chelsea told the News of the World how the student was tended to by Chelsea medical staff and given several days off to recover from the shock.
But his wound had still not healed two days later and he had to be looked at again by medical staff.
Several first team members are said to have witnessed the incident.
The News Of The World said that Cowan was called into a meeting with "deeply worried" Chelsea officials on Wednesday to discuss the accident and a day later the 21-year-old's father held further discussions with the club and demanded to know what action against Cole would be taken.
"It's truly inconceivable that a Premier League footballer could bring a gun to the training ground," a source told the newspaper.
"But Ashley pulled the rifle from a box and started larking about with it in the changing room, not realising it was loaded. It ended up pointed at Tom just five feet away.
"The gun went off with a loud pop and Tom screamed as this lead pellet hit him in the side. It went through his clothing and into his flesh."
Cole is reported to have formally apologised to Cowan after receiving a severe dressing down from the club.
It is not illegal to possess a .22 air rifle without a licence but the incident could be deemed actual bodily harm, which carries a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
"We never comment on internal matters," Chelsea said in response to the report.
In the U.S, basketball player Gilbert Arenas received a ban of around 50 games for bringing a firearm into the changing room, which alot of people thought was too lenient. Although Cole's was an air rifle, do not quite the same, Arena's didn't discharge the weapon. Football's governing body will likely bottle this as they do most things though.

The same question has been asked in the thread that already exits about it.

If Cole's following the Gilbert plan, Chelsea players should be warned to check inside their boots before putting them on.
