Apart from the 9 posts before mine...? That's doing quite well is it?
Yes. Maybe somebody pointing out that there are levels of sexual offences and related sentences (and without any specuation as to where on that spectrum the alleged offence might be) offends you - maybe it does. But is it 'doing quite well' - yes thank you, well within the bounds of acceptability.
Has anybody speculated as to the nature of the offence? No.
Has anybody posted links to any dodgy stuff that might be on FB or instagram or whatever? No.
Has anybody speculated whether he's guilty or not? No.
So - doing quite well.

Carry on speculating then? OK message received and understood

I’m sure the mods are monitoring this thread very closely and will delete anything inappropriate. Given that Bozza takes a very cautious approach to these type of things (so would I if I could end up in court) I don’t think you need to worry.
I've soft deleted two posts I think have strayed into things that might come up in the investigation.
I don't know that they will, I'm simply erring on the side of caution to protect everyone involved.
Please stick to team selection on this thread or it's likely to be locked.

A bit left-field but Adam Webster played central midfield at Bristol city.We seem to be doing ok at the back without him
We cannot leave him out.Worth considering?

Erm hasn’t that kinda been discussed earlier in the thread
Yes it has, and it is impossible to answer without speculation about the bail conditions.

I like you all - and [MENTION=600]Bry Nylon[/MENTION] but I would like you to learn from this - always listen to Sheebo and never assume. Smug

He hasn't played yet......
Club will have a view on the likely outcome, which might have impacted the decision perhaps.
Hasn't stopped a few nobends piling into the concourse singing.....well, you can imagine.

Come on he’s on the bench and you all said there’s no chance he’ll be near the team!
Yes not the song to sing. As others have said though, it’s a broad spectrum and he hasn’t been charged - and the place it happens suggest a few things to me which others have mentioned on the thread. Anyway, enough smugness - it’s good news he’s back from injury.

He didnt play, just like most of us "assumed".

Do behave - he was in the squad and most were saying there’s no chance he’ll be near the team. I didn’t quote you. But you agreed with this:
‘The facts are that he has been arrested following an allegation of a criminal offence and bailed. There is zero chance of him kicking a football competitively whilst the legal process is ongoing, irrespective of his fitness or value to the team.‘
I’d suggest you’re going to be wrong and he’ll kick a football competitively - I’ll remember this and remind you when he does and you can be less obnoxious and admit you were wrong yeh?

Absolutely no way he was going to be on the pitch today. It’s the clubs way of supporting / standing by him as much as they can without a backlash.
Could this be a draw, all be it more entertaining than the one I just watched?

No I’m claiming the win 100% - many posters for some reason assured me there was 0 chance of him being near the first team - he was very near!
I think it shows a lot of things to do with what happened - an awful lot, given how the club act and have acted here. I cannot comment further then that though obviously.
Why would I...? You appear to be struggling with it - you said he was going to play, and he didnt. Thats that.
He was part of the squad, yes. Because:

I didn’t say he was going to play today specifically whatsoever - this is a thread about midfield options in general, not about against Norwich. There also was most definitely a way or chance he’d get on today - we wouldn’t just waste a place on the bench if there’s no chance of them playing - so don’t agree with that massive assumption you quoted there either - but they weren’t stubbornly obnoxious like you were / are regularly.
Original post:
‘ If we are we to assume a certain 20 something year old midfielder may not be getting selected anytime soon’
I said I think we’ll play Bissouma - he’s our best midfielder’
He was in the squad as many assured me he wouldn’t be. He’s been training with the team and around the team. If he plays any part in the next 3-4 games I’d have been 100% correct, and you totally wrong.
