Gabby

[Bad English]

I am waiting for an MOT test but there is just time to come on here and say "Gabby you fucking waster! You are taking the piss".

No further action on the Gabby in Dubai episode according to the club.

No further action on the Gabby in Dubai episode according to the club.

Very similar to Gabby's tactics on the pitch then.

A lot of fuss about nothing.

Think you're right.

His Villa career in a nutshell.

Oh, well. At least the fans will get an opportunity to let their judgement known.

A lot of fuss about nothing.

His Villa career in a nutshell.

The last few years probably, but his whole career? Nah, he scored, what, 70+ league goals for us?

Put him in the team on Saturday - let the crowd decide.

[Chris Jameson]

Hope he's on the bench on Saturday and brought on in the 74th minute.

[Nunkin1965]

Sub on Saturday for me. He's had way too many chances. Bring him on as a sub in the 2nd half. Opportunity for us to express our opinion of his contribution this season.

[Nirog72]

I'd start him and sub him after 5 for being shit, then everyone can laugh? The enquiry was never going to be able to take any action but the fact they held one and probably gave him a bollocking for being a dick is at least encouraging.

In 10 years though.  Promising start, awful ending.

Aside from him being currently useless and appalling attitude etc, I think no further action is actually correct.
If it was a case of discipline against him and Richards for going to Dubai, then fair enough. But if the club accept that and take no action against Richards, he shouldn't have action taken just for smoking a shisha.

I also hope he never plays for us again, but for footballing reasons

[dave shelley]

I would guess he's been made aware of his position as club captain, the position the club holds in world football (current seasons notwithstanding) and his perceived inappropriate behaviour.  Then told that he's on the first available bus out, however long it takes to turn up.
