It is odd, there's no justification for it really. It seems to be the most cretinous Swansea players that get involved with it. The foreign players don't do it. Tate, Trundle, Mc Burnie, Monk, universally challenged the four of them.Quote:

No, it's not strange behaviour at all for someone who was born hundreds of miles from the place, had no connection with the area at all, but decided to go in with that town's fans against their biggest rival after playing a few games for them. Perfectly normal behaviour for Swansea.Quote:

The funny thing is that guy in white he’s with, I genuinely can’t believe that’s a real person. So many things to point out on the photo of them in the concourse that I don’t know where to start.
I doesn’t bother me that he’s there tbh. Seems a bit of a gimp though :hehe:
I wish our players would show as much passion on the pitch as McBurnie did off it.
Joe Rodons brother. Coked up mess. Looked like a parody of Ali G.Quote:

All fairly daft and harmless in the scheme of things, no clue what his current employer or their supporters must think of it mind.
Jon Parkin was with us in the away end at Derby but he behaved like a grown-up not like this clown. Talksport says he may be charged with bringing the game into disrepute. I wonder how Sheff Utd will react if these two play each other again when he's still with them. Wot a plonker.Quote:

I may be wrong but I dont think any of those criticising are currently top level professional footballers.Quote:

No.
That’s not a comparison though .Quote:

I think it’s great to see a football player going back to his club and showing a bit of passion .
It may be embarrassing , as are the majority of the responses on here .
I just think there's good behaviour and bad behaviour - and one's profession is totally irrelevant. Asking that others have a different threshold of behaviour to oursevelves is ludicrous and indeed hypocritical.
Well the FA have reprimanded him according to Sky Sports and hes been given a warning about his behaviour.
Gary Neville defending him here, I tend to agree with him, don't agree with Trundle though.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51094939
Former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville said - before the FA's notice was issued - that any action against the player would be "a disgrace".
Neville said on social media: "This lad has done the most normal thing I've seen from a footballer for a long time. He goes to support his team and is pictured, filmed and ends up with this."
Former Swansea forward Lee Trundle added: "Exactly mate, people moan that players are too far detached from the fans then when one has a day out as a fan they do this."
I don't think he should be punished at all either, such a stupid over reaction. He is a pillock but not because he came to the match.
The FA cannot just ignore a Premier League footballer, at a football match being broadcoast live to millions, caught making obscene gestures to opposing fans when they have some sort of campaign nearly every other month reminding fans about their behaviour and trying to make going to the football an all around nice experience. Kick it out, rainbow laces.etcQuote:

Do you think they are just about making football a nice experience? They're trying to remove bigotry, there's a big difference.Quote:

Going to watch football is never really going to be a nice experience because too many people who go are braindead arse holes.
Has Rodons brother been recalled to prison for crimes of fashion?Quote:

Going to watch football is a far nicer experience than it was 10 years ago and is completely different to what it was 20 years ago. 20-25 years ago I dare say both sets of fans would have been trading more than hand gestures if there was a thin line of stewards and police in between them.Quote:

I couldnt give a shit about what hes doing, comes across a bit of a dick but hes only young, just stating the FA had no option to pull him up.
He should be used in a campaign to keep drugs out of football grounds.Quote:
