Billy Clifford and Jacob Mellis banned from Cobham

[CHOULO19 24,332]

It's a bit too much yes. But it isn't a very... funny joke. :/

Agreed. Would've been much funnier if it was Ron Gourlay's office

Welp, time to buy them a smoke bomb myself. XDD

they're crazy

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

The fact that they even considered this shows the lack of an authoritarian at the club.

[nullabletype 987]

Well yes but a suspension seems a bit too much. It was a joke and they are still boys after all.

Still boys? Is Billy Clifford not 20-21? Even at that, they should know better.

These days you can still be classed as a kid/youngster until you're 25, or 27 in Kalou's case

[Swedish House Mafia 508]

Mellis is shit anyway, so no big loss.

I wouldn't say that, he's been quite solid when I've seen him in reserve and cup games.

I'm sorry but I don't get this "they're just laddies messing about so we should show some humour and let it slide'' sentiment. The club are absolutly right to be dealing with this sternly, can't have 20 year olds setting off grenades in the dressing room ffs. Cunts like Cole are a bad influence around the place anyway, everything must be done to knock some discipline into these impressionable minds.

I would ban them from using cars or cabs until the end of the season , force them to use public transport. I t would help just

to remind them how lucky they are.

Might do some of the first team squad good if they got that treatment as well

Mellis has been kicked out. Clifford hasn't.

Mellis has been kicked out. Clifford hasn't.

Bit harsh kicking out one and not the other, maybe they see Billy as too good a talent to let go?

Only one person could have actually set the smoke bomb off to be fair. Clifford may have just been with Mellis.

Is Mellis being kicked out the club or just being suspended for a while?

Been told he has been kicked out. Not 100% on that though. Clifford was at training today.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Ah, that's really unfortunate. He'll probably excel at his next club though, a place he'll be given first team football.

Reminds me of Billy Knott and Josh Mceachran.. don't know what they did, but only Knott was kicked out.
