Training camp bust up/newspaper rumours

[Craig_H]

True, but i think it will be a shame if he's fired out of the club for this. We all knew what he was like before we signed him that was the risk. He's a firery person and passionate thats what makes him the player he is

Mate, you cant possibly keep someone who goes around violently attacking ANYONE, let alone team mates. He may have had a reputation, but i dont think he'd taken a golf club to a colleague before.

What kind of team spirit and unity could we have with him in the squad (assuming he did it, that is).

Aye, it wouldnt surprise me. I havent and still dont see any big deal anyway, its a drunken argument, its happened to me with a mate, im sure its happened to many others and its all forgotten about the next morning. The fact that all newspapers are putting "alleged" before every bit about this golf club incident says a lot really

Aye, it's a pissed up night out that has got out of hand. It's happened to us all, but unfortunately none of us have ever done it the week before playing Barcelona away. Even if it's just drunken tomfoolery, it ain't good.

No top level player, in my view anyway, should be getting themselves absolutely smashed during the season.

[Shaggy]

What did he say???????

Don't fret. I just posted the text from the Hate Mail link, but AF had beaten me to it.

Rafa: "Why did you attack Riise with a golf club ?"

Craig: "Not my fault boss, I'm fiery and passionate, innit"

HHHmmm...

The picture that has been so vaguely painted is preposterous. Amusingly so. Bellamy bursts into Riise's room, where the hapless piece of ginge is sleeping peacefully...only to be awoken by a raging Welsh midget who was brandishing a golf club. WTF?!

"COME ON THEN YOU GINGER C**T! I'LL TEACH YOU FOR NOT SINGING 'NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN' YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF ****!"

Ridiculous.

It's so crazy it might actually be true!

Just shown the back pages on SSN and one of the broadsheets had a picture of todays training session with Riise, Xabi and Bellamy all having a laugh together so draw your own conclusions from that.

The picture was apparently taken this morning with the caption beside it "smile or I'll hit you oiver the head with a 5 iron"

Any idea what paper it was?

The whole thing's very, very depressing.
I'm very sad about it all, Bellamy was becoming a big favourite of mine.

Maybe i just dont want to believe he's that bad. I just was hoping he'd come to us and be a sensation. Not quiet happen as of yet but he's made a decent start for us and i hope he stays

I'm sure he'll be distraught that he's slipped down your pecking order mate. Will you be taking his poster down?

He hasn't been proven guilty yet Marky. Stop fretting you little sop.

It's happened to me in the past. The amount of times I've had a fight with a mate when we've been pished only to be best mates again the next morning. I've even been hit with a metal wilson baseball bat one time. The guy that did it is still my mate. We had been drinking bucky, vodka and JD and ended up in a right scrap over a tin of brasso polish. The police were called that night and we both got thrown in a meat wagon by the old bill. Neither of us were charged and the next day we put it behind us because it was the drink that caused the situation more than anything and that has been the case here with Bellamy and Riise IMHO.

The Guardian I think.
