He still was found guilty of breaking the law (from memory think he caused an accident and fled from the scene) so serious misconduct. Of course.

Popular Post Deano & Dalians Umbrella Posted March 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) My wife is a nurse, who is already working with possible Covid-19 patients, but because she used to work in intensive care, will probably be re-deployed there soon. Every day in the news, there is some nurse or doctor ever here in this country who is seriously ill with the disease or died, and I am worrying each day about what could happen to my wife. I really don't care whether morons who break the new rules get Covid-19, but I care that next, while asymptomatic, these morons will then start passing it onto every other person they come into contact with. Some of these people will die. And some of these people will be in intensive care beds. And if those beds are full, then people will start to die from other causes, such as heart attacks, strokes and car accidents because there are no intensive care beds. Even more galling, some of the beds will be taken up by some of the aforementioned morons, who are happy enough to put themselves at risk of getting the virus in the first place, but will likely not be gallant enough to accept the consequences of their decisions and decline treatment when they become seriously ill. If this is true about Jack, then I have gone from feeling sick about him going to feeling sick about having to watch him play for Villa again - and really hoping we can sell him, because I don't see how I can ever clap or cheer him again or celebrate one of his goals (although VAR has sort of fixed that last one anyway). I don't care if he was drinking or taking drugs or what cars he smashed or didn't smash (edit: unless he was drink/drug-driving). What I do care about, is that based on the current evidence, it appears that he is one of the morons who thinks it's ok to spread Covid-19. To me, people who break the current Government rules are murderers - it just takes 2-3 weeks for the bullet to hit the victim.

I think there are basically 2 sectors to the issues. The club issues Covid-19 Issues. I guess there is a fair bit to answer to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many front line folk are risking their lives, only to see this gross flaunting of behaviour. He has a tricky situation to manouvre out of, but i think many fans will have a different view of him after this. Jack is just from the back of Shirley, for lack of better word he’s basically a bit of a chav. He suddenly got all this attention and adulation of us as a fan base and he doesn’t know how to manage it. It’s stupid what he’s done but when I was 24 if I could have had any bird locally & the money to party I’d have thought **** it. I wouldn’t took this seriously because basically I was I was a kid that didn’t know any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope the CCTV doesn't hurt him. You can't be very familiar with the Sun To be fair with the lockdown they must have plenty of money in the slander/libel budget going unused. In all seriousness, if he has done all that he has been accused of then he is an absolute moron. He isn't the brightest spark anyway but I've always thought he was a decent sort and I'll be a bit gutted if it turns out true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no excuse mate at 24 I was living it up drinking with Andy Gray and a few villa lads in the Aero club every wednesday night, and then on to the Elbow room pulling birds etc.....we didn't want the night to end.....been there done it. Here's the thing We respected his job and position, we respected him, we had some great fun without stepping over the line.....a lot is down to intelligence and self discipline and being Genuine friends and not dragging him in to shit.....but Andy was always aware of himself, highly intelligent and articulate. Jack needs to keep better company.....strikes me he needs some sensible mates, around him. Edited March 30, 2020 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think he has become to comfortable here. He needs to move on to a team with better players, manager and higher level and more demanding trainings. Maybe get away from the people he surrounds himself with also. He's coasting along here, not being pushed hard enough and he might even have become complacent. He may also of course just be a tosspot. For his sake and his careers he needs to move, not sure Manure is the right destination thou as they have a damp squib as manager and a fair number of bell ends in the squad. Non of this excuses behavior like this thou. If it's even close to as bad as it looks I think some clubs will look at other options. And it certainly wont help us push his price up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Rumour has it Grealish wasnt even in the car when it crashed! Maybe he and capaldi ran down to see the commotion? Would explain why Grealish has incorrect footwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, sorry when they said the neighbour heard a series of bangs I'd read that as prior to Jack going out - but they meant the actual car crashes. .

Irrespective of whether he was drunk/car crash. For me the answer is yes: he should be showing why he is a leader at this time, rather than acting in a way that is wholly irresponsible. We have a readymade captain waiting in Mings as well. Thought the same. Give Mings the armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what people need to realise the most. People coughing over people or spitting at coppers etc. They have the potential to pass something on that could kill and when they willingly and knowingly do that they should be punished very severely.

It may be that his car was being stolen and there is an investigation ongoing and the club may be waiting until evidence is collected before saying anything. Clutching at straws but its possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he and capaldi ran down to see the commotion? Would explain why Grealish has incorrect footwear. I was actually wondering if he "Let one of the boys have a spin in the range" and said "boy" completely f*cked up. Blown the cover of him being out and everything else etc. In my view that would be best case scenario. However the fact that nothing has come out from his camo or the club... Doesn't make it seem that straight forward. Signs are pointing to there being alot more to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
