    Are you saying that he didn't go to hospital and hasn't made a report to police who aren't investigating, and as such, it is great?

    Because that's the other side to the story.

    All I'm saying is I don't think it's great a player of ours is involved with something like this. I'm not saying it's a big deal, or will be, I'm just saying it's not great.

    If you think it's great, great.

      Push, punch or whatever, that's not great.
      I know violence should never be encouraged but there are dickheads out there who deserve a belting. By the sounds of it this bloke got off lightly with a push.

      That being said, Bailey better get used to this attention and learn how to cope with it. Because he’s going to get it everywhere he goes.

        Bold bit ????????????????

        No, I am saying it sounds fishy from the other party and I like to hear Bailey's side of the story. I can't judge unless I know both sides.

        Yes he it not good one of our players is involved, but as BTT says, he needs to get used to being hassled and learn to deal with it. He is only 20 years old.

          It's likely nothing comes of this, but it's a reminder to Bailey he needs to be careful given how big profile he's become.

          One thing I'm aware of is that Bailey does say all the right things and certainly appears to have a good head on his shoulders, but with the way he portrays himself on social media and his rightful desire to be regularly out and about, I hope he understands there's always going to be interest in what he does. Some of that interest will be in bad faith, so how he deals with it will be key.

          By no means am I saying he needs to avoid going out - that's ridiculous. He's young and deserves a social life, but with the 'good' part of being up in lights comes the bad.

              We don't even know what happened and we're already saying the other guy got off lightly without being more severely harmed...........!

                He's a remarkable young player and he seems like a solid citizen but I don't envy the scrutiny he is now under.

                    I'm just countering your contrarianism to my neutral statement/ position in that I don't think it's great (which it clearly isn't, but we don't know whether it's actually bad either - which I didn't say it was) with a ridiculous one for effect.

                      But he shouldn't have to get rid of the mullet, people just need to leave other people alone.

                      I feel people never really learned enough from what happens next in this scene:

                              This thread just went up a notch! Got pushed up?

                              Sounds like not much. I mean, I understand someone got hurt, but what less could someone do than push?

                              Slow news week.
