Your apathy for the content of the video implies your acceptance that it is ok.

So sectarian chants is ok in your opinion?

Maybe an idea to try and sign Blair Henderson in January he is on fire this season so far.

Don't remember any of our strikers scoring to rescue the point on Saturday. So yes we still need a regular striker. And three of our 4 were on the park at some point.

Yeah agreed both the next two meetings with ayr are a must win if we want to stay in the title challenge.

Excellent well done to the team today. Need to get Ridgers signed up on longer contract he's been outstanding recently. Great mindset from the team especially after the midweek upheaval to the team. Puts us right back into the promotion chase with county losing and Ayr only drawing.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46142675 BBC news report on his contract termination.

Well done to the club on a swift, appropriate communication and decision.

I suppose the way things are if it brings three points why not. All we would lose is a point but potentially gain 2.

Every job i have had it says in my contract immediate grounds for dismissal will be to bring my employers name into disrepute and that if I was ever charged or arrested I needed to make my employer aware failure to do so would be grounds for immediate dismissal. If the club do not have these clauses in there contracts there is something wrong especially with the high profile in the local community of our players.

Sentencing does not cover compelling reasons for the assault etc it only covers social background.I.e income, children, family circumstances To determine the sentence. The trial found his reasons for the assault not to be true as he said self defence. The sentencing has been delayed to move it to a higher court which cam impose a higher fine/ and or jail term. They do not take into account the reason for the assault that is what the trial is for. He has been found guilty and the club must act. The full facts of the case are concluded at the end of the trial. He knew the situation he chose to plead not guilty and by going to trial the penalty with will be more severe as he will not get any discounts for pleading guilty at any of the intermediate or pleading diets. Also during the trial once the CCTV was shown he could still have changed his plea but did not. This shows a lack of remorse or acceptance of his disgusting assault. What more does the club need to know?

If it was me and I was aware of the situation I'd have gained that advice long before the outcome of the trial so I knew my options immediately after the verdict wether that was guilty or not guilty.

Having a good knowledge of the court system and the fact the judge has deferred sentencing until 4th December generally means he/she will have requested background reports be done on Calder as they may decide that the severity of the crime merits a prison term. If he/she felt it was a minor crime they would have dealt with the sentencing there and then so they aren't looking at this as a minor punch up outside a pub on a Saturday night. That in itself should indicate the severity of the assault.

If this person was a teacher, police officer, nurse etc would you be happy with them teaching your children upholding the law or treating your wounds at your most vulnerable? They are all dismissed, sacked when these things happen. ALSO suspended before a court case starts. He is in a position where he is a role model to many youngsters and as such should hold himself above the rest of us. He has brought the club into disrepute by a horrendous despicable behaviour and that is sufficient to terminate his contract. And sorry but I cannot support a person who chooses to beat a woman to the extent he did. Your views on crime is amazing have you ever being the victim of crime? People lose their jobs everyday for drink driving, having traces of drugs in their system etc etc. Why should he be different.

The CPS The CPS prosecutor stated the high quality CCTV showed he was not acting in self defence and that is was a sustained assault. The report says they drove to a pub car park it does not mention any conversation to agree they drive there. Irrespective of anything said it does not justify the level of violence he committed towards a female. Why are you trying to find an excuse for his horrendous behaviour? Nothing can justify a male beating a female to the point she has sustained fractures, lacerations and bruising in this case. It doesn't matter what shoe he used, he hit her with it. She would have been completley justified if she had tried to hit him with it after being punched several times through her car window. The club will have the same information we do as it has been presented in evidence in court it is available for any member of the public to access.
