Don't know Carney's history but you surely can't be judging him on this latest incident? Can it be even called an 'incident'? It's nowt.

It's picking your nose and eating it. It's sniffing your own farts and thinking it smells nice. It's blowing your nose and examining your hanky. Who has he hurt? He hasn't even inflicted his bodily fluids on anyone else. It's so nothing it's not changing your underpants following a skid.

And they want to sack him??

Stupid Aussie prudes. No idea of class.

We'll have him. And thanks for all the fish, losers.

I screamed for Joel Monaghan too and raised a cynical eyebrow at the staged dog photo. They can't actually suck, you know, dogs. It was just a daft ego photo done on the spur of the moment. Staged nonsense. Like this is. Means nothing.

We missed out on Monaghan, if Carney's up for grabs let's, well, grab him.

The crime, in my opinion, is not to do so. Pissing in the wind, again, one might say.

NB. Gardeners mickey on their plants and compost heaps every day. Do you eat organic? Dozens of cultures believe urine has healing and nutritional value and drink it all the time. Who are you to contadict?

Well said, it's a nothing incident and I've seen some fc fans on away trips do similar only out of a bottle, and been ex Royal Navy I've seen a lot worse.

If there's any chance we could sign him then we should, yes opposing fans will rag him for it but it'll soon be forgotten in time just like most people have forgotten Monaghan's indiscretion.

Captain Rum on Blackadder II liked drinking his. Started swigging it before the water ran out.

thanks, Mrs B. Not to my taste, I hasten to add, but certainly wouldn't judge others. Sup away, all.

I need to research Carney's other 'misdemeanors' which may or may not reveal events which would preclude him from my support as a Hull player. But drinking his own wee whilst drunk? I wouldn't cut off his willy to spite our faces.

Thnks for that link Mrs B I had been trying to find something on Sarah Miles. It does her no harm she is still a beautiful woman for her age. The problem with the Aussie Carney is that it was put on Social Media and it does not look very nice. Not a sacking though. After all Wigan did not sack Charnley last year although of course he was not taking the mickey

I'd love us to sign carney but thedre is no chance. He'll be picked up by an NRL club

Re: rumours on twitter : Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:36 pm  

Well it wouldn't be dull, but let's face it he'd spend more time suspended for off field stuff than on it. If we do sign him, I'm opening a pub in Hull though

Or the police.

Re: rumours on twitter : Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:57 pm  

lets face it you couldn't see his visa application being straightforward could you?

Maybe 'Chris' can clarify, but I'm fairly sure, if the previous conviction
was more than 5 years ago, the visa would be approved? similar to 'Crockergate'

The conviction may be clear in terms of using that to refuse on its own, but based on the rap sheet Mrs B put up he could still be refused, because the first visa was refused for a conviction and he has been in trouble with the law since even if not formally convicted of anything.

His "character, conduct and associations" may go against him, precisely because he's a loose cannon when he's had a glass of water and a wine gum. The latest incident just adds to the "bad" character and conduct. Even though it isn't a crime, it does leave a bad taste in the mouth (pun intended).

If he wasn't so high profile and declared all his misdemeanours he wouldn't have a prayer of a visa, and to be fair, why should he? The media are full of how we don't want foreign criminals here and let Carney within a sniff of a pint, he can't control himself. Who's to say he won't do something ten times worse if he's here? Do we want FC involved with that?
