Thailand three contracts terminated

I think Joby is talking much the most sense here. We just don't know enough about the Simpson event, including about why the wife withdrew her statement. The court has acted, he is free to appeal, the eventual judgement will be what it is.

Personally I don't see this as the club's business at all, they are a company, not some kind of moral arbiter, and have no responsibility for a player's private actions in his private life.

The trouble it's a different age now of every one being able to broadcast their views without knowledge. I know one LCFC legend worshiped and adored who if his exploits where to happen know would be pilloried and its not Birch or Wortho.

Joby - do you really think that's the worst abuse a prositute in Thailand has received? Have you ever been to Thailand? I'm guessing not.

Do you know that secs is Thailand's biggest source of income? Did you know that boys are forced to become women because they can make money from the secs trade? I've seen all sorts in my seven visits to the country and I'm telling you that was nothing.

I think you need to open your eyes a little and understand that people in other countries have completely different moral boundaries to you. Whether you agree with it or not, I've not met one that isn't doing it by their own choice. I've never slept with one by the way, not my cup of tea.

Re: Simpson
As mentioned above we don't know the full circumstances. We don't know how many charges were put before the court (common assault was one of them, no doubt). The victim's written statement may have contained reference to 'fears for her safety' in which case the court may have considered the aspect of 'compellability of evidence (Criminal Justice Act 2003) regardless of her withdrawing it-if the offence was so serious. CPS saw there was a case to answer with the lesser charge, pursued it, and the outcome was favourable.

Arro,

Not really quite sure why I have been asked to "open my eyes a little".

I'm fully conscious of cultural differences and was quite clear that I know very little about Thai culture. That's why I've deliberately avoided speculating on the reaction of the Thai people to this incident whilst others have speculated wildly.

My point was that you, I and everyone will have a different benchmark of tolerance to measures of morality. You are not wrong, neither am I and neither is anyone else. That's why we (the club) have to be careful to act on the facts of each matter rather than getting carried away by our own level of moral outrage. The actions of the club have to be legal and appropriate, rather than just acting as arbiter of a player's morality and character.

Joby I have the same moral outlook as you mate, I don't think its right but it's not uncommon and in reality what the lads did was nothing.

Ordering a girl to perform acts she's being paid to do and calling her a slinty eye really isn't much at all. They weren't tied up or being beaten and I bet they didnt even understand what slinty eye meant.

This is the reason why a lot of people go to Thailand so they can treat girls like that and the girls won't mind and they genuinely don't care, they just say "it's life".

Those girls weren't humiliated by what they were doing but they could have been considering a video of them was sent around, that would be humiliating.

If this hadn't been videod then nothing would have been made of it. The girls wouldn't have complained, they're used to it and its no big deal for them. They got paid very well and that's what they care about.

I taught a Thai lad in China, his mum escaped with him when he was 14 because his family wanted him to become a woman so he could make more money. Luckily his mum was against it. Many aren't so lucky. This is common.

I appreciate in the main my views are at odds with the majority of posters on here - But, I don't need a Leicester player to be a leading light in the monastic society, I want them to either score, stop the opposition from scoring or create some magic on the pitch.

To have been sacked for parting in a game of hide the sausage with a professional and calling her a slitty eyed minger whilst doing so is puzzling at best
