Yes boot them off, never let them play again.
I dont particularly like the game, but do watch the bigger games at the club, just for the atmosphere 
Little kids look up to these guys and look at what they go and do. Then blame it on something ie alcohol and this last guy, ADHD... Fucking idiots.

What ever happened to "What happens on tour, stays on tour".
I recon its the MEDIA's fault. If they didn't say "look at what this person is doing" then no-one would know.
Whats worse?
1. A footballer leaving a bad message on someone elses phone and theres 2 people that know about it.
2. A footballer leaving a bad message on someone elses phone, it goes through all the TV news and news papers, the footballer gets kicked out of the team and is BRANDED someone that leavs a bad phone message.
The only way that the kids would know something bad about their role models is when the MEDIA tells them. If they're going to be role models then the media should portray them in a good light. When was the last time you saw on the news "The footballer Mr x today went around to all the children's wards and had a chat to all the kids to keep their spirits up"?

put me down for option 3 I don't care.
I believe that the propaganda machine is working hard, no one was even talking about the dam things that they were doing until the timing was right for it to have the best impact. Do u really believe that this is the first time that some players have made phone calls to females like that, no its not. Its just the ppl have lost interest in the game and therefore they have to come up with new ways to make the sport interesting. But the sport is still as boring as ever, but now there is some scandal to talk about while having no relevance to the game, only to the players that play the game.
Well thats what i think anyway.

Its not good for the media to show those sorts of stories, the ratings come from bad horrible shit.
Look if they wanna be Mr Supastar football player, act responsibly. Its sucks that if they fuck up once then thats it, but thats the life they chose!! You cant have it all!
The last guy is just a bloody retard, especially after the last shit fight, you would have second thoughts of doing stupid idiotic childish shit like that! They have no fucking brains, its all been belted out of their heads playing that stupid game!

Who cares what they do in PRIVATE, like warney in his own hotel room.
They're responsible whenever they're on tv or in the publics eye.
Its crossing days of our lives with football. Stupid. They're aiming at the wrong market.

What Willie mason did - signing the wrong name on a kids jersey - is a seriously low act.
This poor kid idolises the guy and he goes and does shit like that. I don't care how good a footballer he is, what he did was scum and should be sacked.

That is MEGA slack   D**khead.. what kind of people do they think they are? I remember when I was in primary school and the football guys would come around and promote football we never heard anything bad about these guys 1. because they wern't on tv like they are now
2.what was done when they were out stayed out....of the public
3 the damm media has nothing else to do
blah blah blah.....,,
anyways I agree with HKSpete that they should be portraying the football guys that go to the schools and hospitals etc and promote a healthy look at football........

Mate, if I can pull a threesome, or if I think that there is a remote chance (because I am drunk or whatever), I am probably gonna give it some serious go.
In the current political political position that football is in, then it was a stupid thing to do (and stupidity and alcohol are often hand in hand).
These guys are the super stars of the game - media may be a problem (I fucking hate them all), but most of all it is the biggotted attitudes that society encourages and breeds. In real life, super stars should be able to have all of the human defects.

Squid not having a shot at you man but willie mason is a pea heart! He's one of the most over rated footballers in the game! Theres no way he should be rated as a good footballer, he's a tool box!

It was way worse than that, I heard the full thing (censored) and it is way worse than what is usually played on the radio and tv.

how can we all go winging about willie mason? seriously? I'm not saying what he did was a good thing but he's a good foot-ball player I'd rather have a player on a side with skill them a nice polite player. its skill, knowledge and team work that wins games.Skill he's got and Knowledge he would defently have. I'm not going to explain team work but I think he should be alowed to play on medication for his condition and yes it would make him slower

Ofcourse he should have the right to take his medication... Whether or not he takes it is up to him... He said on an interview that "I like the way that i am now" and that he's been fine without alcohol aswell...

I'm not going to pretend i know much about football as i really couldn't give two shits but come on, These guys get paid an absolute fortune to do what they do and part of their job is to be there for the fans/sign jersey's/be role models for the kids etc...etc.
Whether the media is to blame or not, some (not all) of these players are acting like a bunch of absolute fuckwits!
They should be held accountable for their actions!
Weather these guys like it or not they come across as uneducated wankers. Look at willie, he got fined 41k so far. Do you think he cares??? NO! cause he gets paid enough to cover it.
All i have to say is its bullshit how they can continually get away with all the shit they do.
I'm done now

True but the media blows stuff way out of proportion alot of shit normal everyday people do DOESN'T MAKE NEWS when they do something IT DOES,who really cares what they do other people do stupid stuff and it hardly ever makes news as for the comment about uneducated wankers are you suggesting people who are uneducated are wankers? I don't think they are as its the only way i can accept myself for my failures. I wen't to year 12 at high school fucked about should of done alot better if I didn't fuck around as much as i did and because of it I have to be a fucking Labourer for the rest of my life. Thats why I consider myself uneducated I have made lots of mistakes in my short 20 years but i learn from them after awhile i think they would have 2, you can say people like me are a bunch of wankers but i could proablly name a few educated wankers as well!

Valid point.
But like any person who is in the public eye you really have to be careful of what you do. It's part of the job.
Perfect example is Arnie. He did heaps of stuff before he ran for his job as mayor but now he and his family have to be a little more careful of how they go about things.
Its one of those things you have to deal with as a star. These footy players are only damaging their own reputations by doing all this stuff. Also, their families are mad to look bad to.
Do you think that Willies mum wants to be on the front page of the paper trying to explain why her son is a dickhead? She is probably wishing it all never happened. Now people will look at her funny the next time her son does something stupid.
Thats why i said they come across as uneducated. They just dont think!!!
