Come on fella, think it through.So what part of "the club will take action if possible" did you not understand?Now who needs to think it through?

Because that was talking about the real world "he knows the club will take action if possible". Whereas the comment I replied to started "If I had my way...." and so was talking about what you would do.

Quote from: paul_e on June 19, 2018, 09:00:09 PMHow about if if was Chester and Grealish doing it, would you want them sacked as well?Grealish would never have done it. If Chester had done it, I would want something done about it. Whether I'd want him sacked or not is debatable.

Not one clue. So to assume that buffoon did seems odd to me.He's many many things, but i'm 100% he had no idea what that poxy sign meant like the majority of people outside of a pub in Small Heath probablyI didn't say that he knew what he was doing and quite frankly, I don't care whether he did or didn't. I said he (now) know's what he has done.As a Villa fan, I take great offence that one of our players demonstrates anything publicly that appears to associate with our fiercest rivals. That it came from the parasite that is Richards, makes it even worse.Thinking of Birmingham City makes my stomach turn. I absolutely hate the horrible, scummy, low life b%stards. If I had my way, Richards would be sacked on the spot for that, regardless of whether he knew what he was doing or not.I'd get a sense of proportion if I were you.Each to their own eh Dave?

The Grealish transfer saga perhaps? Summer transfers?The clue is in the title of the forum: "Heroes Discussion". It is a facility to discuss all things Villa and I posted an opinion about Richards. Putting this in caps will likely not help for it to sink in with you but maybe if you go away and think about it for half an hour or so?
That's not quite as stupid as suggesting we sack him because of a picture of him making a sign you didn't know existed that you've decided to now be offended by.
