An English man that plays for Scotland and supports a Welsh club :hehe:

Can’t say I’m bothered at all by Mcburnie doing any of that.
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.
That’s Rodon’s brother? Blimey. I found it quite funny when the camera kept checking in on them as it was quite the sartorial spectacle. Tank and Johnny the Brains may have found themselves some contenders as Swansea’s finest...
No problem with the fella being there, fairplay he didn’t dial it down. I do think I’d find it a little surreal seeing an ex-City player giving it the big ‘un like that, especially one that’s still a pro, that hadn't played in a derby before and without any other attachment with the club or area.
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.
you only get what you give...
Are any of you criticising him on here guilty of the same behaviour? Just wondered.
To make the appropriate comparison...
If I’d got a new job at a more senior level with a different and bigger employer in my field would I go onto some public platform like LinkedIn and slag off the other smaller competitors of the small firm I used to work for?
No.
That’s not a comparison though .
I am also from hundreds of miles away and get quite passionate at Cardiff football matches .
My professional life is totally separate from the life I enjoy following Cardiff .
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.

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.etc
Joe Rodon went to the match and got involved with the chanting, having a good time and backing his team. As far as I can see he hasnt had any bother from the FA or criticism as far as I can see.
Do you think they are just about making football a nice experience? They're trying to remove bigotry, there's a big difference.Quote:
Kick it out, rainbow laces.etc
Going to watch football is never really going to be a nice experience because too many people who go are braindead arse holes.
