mainstand Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Seems to be that trouble just finds this guy wherever he plays. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2141129/Derek-Riordan-arrested-alleged-assault.html?ito=feeds-newsxml should have been staying well clear of trouble given his trial period at Saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Goran Stanic Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Imagine being a 29 year old guy and getting in fights with bouncers or whatever on a night out. What an embarrassment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have no idea why hes so prone to fighting when out and about, when recently on the pitch hes looked fat, lazy and spineless (If he signs for saints and plays well next year I shall be delighted to retract all criticism, but hes been pish so far - albeit in a pish team) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it probably is a coincidence. Was he not reportedly training with us for weeks prior to signing? The biggest 'factor' in the results swing is losing Lee Croft in my opinion. Still, very silly boy, especially when he's not got anything sorted out for next season yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersaint44 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 The biggest worry for me is that with both incidents. The articles and news always ends with "No statement has been issued by the St. Johnstone" C'mon, I'm not an expert in PR or anything but it doesn't take a genius to know that if we don't act at all it is just bad press. Even more worrying was the articular from the weekend by Sandy Clark talking about the Thomas/O'Boyle incident and how he wished the board hadn't found out so he could have dealt with it internally. I get the point of not giving the club bad press in that view but they way he was speaking was as if he didn't want to sack them. If footballers are stupid enough to do things like drugs or drunken punch ups they should be made an example off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most successful teams in Scottish history was the rangers squad that won 9 in a row and there ethos was built around a drinking culture. It was a Sunday night after a Sunday match the players had Monday off, no problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when you're trying to win a contract and keep your head down its not. He's repaid the faith shown by Saints with a big slap in the face.

I think there ethos was built on a whole range of questionable activities - see numerous other threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Trialist. Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Maybe,but he has to explain why he was in/trying to enter the nightclub in the first place,when he has a 10 year ban from all nightclubs in Edinburgh It wasn't a nightclub he entered.
