Too many discussions on here turn into "who shouts the loudest wins" IMO.
I've been guilty of it myself but would suggest the mainstream media are the worst culprits of all.
I seem to remember Sheff Utd mentioned something about not bowing to "mob justice".
Many will draw on their own conclusions (i.e. guesses) to draw conclusions (also guesses) about others. Whether they're correct or not (as already seen with e.g. judicial miscarriages of justice) is another matter.
In any case some may be willing to forgive (after serving a sentence) and some won't.
I cannot believe they've taken him back in their doors after he broke the law under their employment
Maybe Sheff Utd don't think he's guilty ? Or have forgiven him for putting himself into the situation ?
In any case, ultimately it's THEIR choice what to do now.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Someone coming out of prison and getting a job and turning their life around is a great example to anyone else who finds themselves in a similar situation.Lee Hughes has done it and his was a much more serious crime IMHO.
Agree with you Rob.
For me, guilty or not (and like I said have NO idea about the case) he's served his time anyway - already paid the penalty as it were.
Can fully appreciate and understand you and your fellow mods actions BTW Rob.
And thanks again for all your hard work and a great site, it's been a privilege and a pleasure.
However regretfully, I'll be sending you a request to close my 'New fishy' account.
Main reason being I don't fancy any future possibility of being dressed down if I offer opinions others don't agree with.
And who knows what I may be accused of if do.
From that perspective I have sympathy with others who may occasionally feel the same.
Obviously it's entirely my own decision and choice.
But for me, there's little point remaining if I just feel comfortable with it all.
Not that I'll be passing any comments under any psedonym on any other GTFC / Grimsby related on-line platform in the future either.
(or that I have in the past for that matter)
Except perhaps the OS for the occasional match report. (though seems pretty dead these days anyway !)
Thankyou to Mr Fenty, fans, Mariners Trust & all the fishy itself for continuing to steer the GTFC ship, helping keep it afloat and on the right course.
Fingers crossed for promotion,
Best wishes to all & GOOD LUCK !!!
Up The Mariners.
