Fair enough - I didn't even bother to read that far.. more fool me. The intention of my post remains though, I don't see how mock outrage is helpful. Does it change the culture? So far evidence would suggest it just contributes to dividing society. Systemic racism is a problem, and it isn't...

Honestly, this "offended on behalf-of" circle-jerk is so toxic, and not helpful AT ALL to address the issues of institutional racism and discrimination. For reference if you google "gorilla emoji meaning" you consistently get hits like this...

You should read up on the case then. There is only one woman he has been a partner to (Cavallin) who has made allegations of domestic violence. There is one further case from a long time ago where some random woman had an argument with a friend of Antony's while he was driving and she was left...

From the Athletic article on this: "Under the terms of the standard Premier League contract, which has been in place since a collective bargaining agreement was reached with the PFA in 2003, clubs can only suspend players for a maximum of 14 days. But they can decide not to consider players...

Why?

Mostly valid points and I am not aiming at you specifically, but people like you. The sentiment you are voicing is being parroted all over social media and mainstream media alike based solely on allegations with zero evidene. It's not very helpful and only contributes to the knee-jerk twitter...

Scott McTominay has more than 4 times the number of appearances, and a lot more data in a United shirt to pass judgement on. Predicting the trajectory of a players career is a fools errand at the best of times. Saying that either of those two players have a 0% probability of turning into an...

This stuff is serious enough to keep him off the field only due to the fankly insane pressure being piled upon him by people like yourself making judgments on his character based on absolutly zero evidence. Agree he hasn't shown to be a £80mn+ player yet though, but he has time on his side.

Jesus, how can you say it's a really bad misjudgment of ability and character? When it comes to ability it's still far too soon to say. And on character? What evidence do you have to say his character is not up to standard?

JustCoco ATTACKED ME in the piece and queit of my own home. He threw plates at me and broke my finger!! I'm calling on all Redcafe forum admins to suspend this lunatic

Have to strongly disagree with that. Assuming the facts you have in front of you is all there is to the story is not a good approach. Especially when there is due process to uncover all relevant evidence in a case. Reserving judgement is 100% the right thing to do in these cases. Publicly...

At this point it's probably too late, but couldn't something like that have been discussed and agreed a long time ago? Kind of like "for there to be any way back into the team for you, we expect you to undergo counseling and treatment XYZ. We will help you get the support and follow-up you need...

I'm a firm believer in second chances and that people can learn to be better. Shunning criminals is not helpful on a societal level, but (succesful) rehabilitation is. I also believe the club has a moral responsibility to aid people affiliated with the club, something which I think we generally...

Antony could do with some better attacking output, but defensively (which I think you probably need in that shape) he is quite good

There's only 3 and 3.5 years in it to be fair. 27 isn't exactly ancient for a CB. Varane will likely get phased out in the next 3-4 years which leaves plenty of time to get in a replacement, somone in the 22-25 years old bracket. Don't see this as being much different from getting a 23 year old...
