Never any excuse for hitting a woman. That's why I've never gone for all this Roy Keane hardman bollocks, didn't he nut a woman once? It's scum like behaviour, akin to beating up Steven Hawking.

 

Surprised at the news coverage it's generated though, you'd think it was the England captain or some shit.

 

Either way, he's a bellend and no great loss if we get rid, as we should.

 

I have a feeling stories like this will be pushed more to take the heat off what has gone on in the past regards young lads getting bummed and the amount of racism in the game.

 

Not excusing Flanno btw, he acted like a cunt and should be thrown out of the club.

Won't be sacked, apparently. But won't be offered a new contract and will be released in the summer.

 

A heads up for if you get any blues playing their favourite "holier than thou" games and invoking the sacking of Cadamarteri.

 

He was convicted of ABH in early September of 2001. He then remained at Everton until January 2002, featuring in first team squads 3 times after his conviction. His contract was also due to expire at the end of the season. He was loaned to Bradford in February 2002 and then had his contract terminated in the same month, a few months earlier than it would've been anyway.

Sad end to what for a short spell was a fairytale story. And quite ironic, remembering how he spoke about learning from his fathers mistakes.

Loved it when he broke through, but never really thought he’d have a career at the highest level. Too limited a player for that to happen.

 

Of course injuries played a big part as well.

 

Totally unacceptable what he did to his girlfriend obviously. What kind of off field punishment he deserves’ I’ll not be the judge, but it sure won’t be of any help getting his footballing career back on the rails.

Imagine being a professional journalist and arguing that the club can't sack a player for a brutal attack on a woman because they didn't previously punish a minor drunk driving offence where no one was harmed and in his own words:

 

"Imagine if it had been 24-goal top scorer Mohamed Salah standing in court this week rather than Flanagan. The reaction from some would have been very different."

 

I feel like this isn't said often enough. James Pearce really fucking sucks.
