Incident on Leeming Street

Not that I've seen.

In his pre match commentary Martin ran through the teams and stated why other players weren't available. He said Mellis was suspended and that Donohue was unavailable for selection.

Obviously Martin is not a part of the official club set up but it appears that may be the official line.

The question is will John Lomas or Jake Garner have the balls to ask any questions?

Questions about what? Matters involving a Police investigation? I assume the only people asking any questions would be Detectives or Solicitors.

Well for the club to acknowledge that something has happened is the first thing, whether investigations are ongoing or not it doesn't change the fact that they were allegedly arrested and have allegedly been suspended. It would seem the obvious thing to do given it's all over social media.

Silly me. I thought John Lomas worked for the CHAD.

What has that got to do with anything?

Why do I keep getting involved???
Read the posts. You asked if John Lomas had the balls to ask any questions. You then responded to my reply by saying the club should acknowledge that something happened. John Lomas doesn't work for the club, Police or a Solicitors firm. He's a newspaper Sports jounalist. That's what his profession has do do with anything.

He’s not too close to the club. He’s doing a semi-official (or potentially official) commentary where, at this stage, it’s not appropriate for him to comment. He handled it in an appropriate way.

Rubbish. Two players were arrested. They’ve apparently been suspended. You think that’s not newsworthy or even likely to be commented upon ? Is there a law of Omertà?

What’s that got to do with anything ? Have you been on the cerveza?

Of course he knows more. Why isn’t he commenting on it? Isn’t that what’s commentators do ?

Given the choice:

Martin’s dedication, or
Bellwhiff’s snide ?

Wonder what would get more votes?

The club isn't in a position to comment on anything at this stage.

[BELSE]

When John's brother in law said it, was it more comprehensible than what you've written.

1. The police haven’t named anyone who has been arrested, as far as I am aware.

2. Speculation is therefore inappropriate.

3. Martin is there to comment on a football game on an open subscriber basis. He’s not there to report arrests, based on speculation, or to state the club’s position on matters such as this.

4. It would not be helpful to anyone for Martin or Dean to engage in what may be Ill informed speculation on legal and potentially criminal matters.

glad it’s not just me

read it three times just to see

You are such a toad.

[NorthLondonStag]

Bellwhiff, earlier on you were saying we had to wait for evidence before denouncing the alleged culprits (as it happens I agree with you). You were very keen on ‘due process’ running its course.

Now you seem to be saying that Martin should have named them on a live commentary feed.

You might appreciate why I am struggling to reconcile these two approaches. Perhaps you could explain?

You’ve got it right there with “ill informed speculation”, there’s very little that can be said officially until certain process has been followed and facts are established over speculation.

I’m sure both the club and police will comment if appropriate once that has been done.

Well sometimes its not appropriate to comment ,but as every one on here knows ,you dont seem to get that

I’m not advocating that. I’m advocating that the subject should be not off the table. If players have been suspended then that’s a newsworthy item. I didn’t realise that the police hadn’t released the names of the arrested individuals to be honest

In terms of "local reporting", this is all I can find and this is buried in the sub pages of the chad website...

Get rid and get 2 other scrap heap footballers in, simple

[Tippy Tappy Football]

Just happens to be more recent since we put 2 bad apples together with Dion.

It's a lack of respect for the manger to me. Same with the the sending offs they aren't worried about the managers opinion.

Who are the two "bad apples" Dan?

[EdwinstoweStag]

Here’s an idea:

Let’s just let the authorities and the club do what is appropriate.
