To be fair, if I knew who was gonna get sent off in a game, the first thing I'd consider doing was placing bets in the home town of that player... simple covering your tracks.
I said last night, and maintain today that the ref was either bent or grossly incompetent, and he looks far more likely a suspect.
I hope for his own sake that the club are at this very moment drafting a statement on Jennings' behalf about the events. If he deserved to go, we need to know NOW that Jennings admits to saying something he shouldn't have, otherwise he needs to come out and say A. the ref is telling porkies, I never said anything overly offensive and B. this had absolutely nothing to do with me.
Everyone i've spoken to is immediately pointing the finger of blame at Jennings, and if he's innocent, it could ruin his career if not handled in the proper way. If he's guilty then he should be thrown on the scrapheap.
Either way, now's not the time for the club to start abandoning it's policy on clearer and more effective communication with fans. We've heard virtually nothing from them on the brown situation other than Mr Boyle's statement, I hope this doesn't turn out to be the same. I understand there are legal implications involved, but that doesn't stop the club from giving us some kind of update.
Silence speaks a thousand words.
