Jevani Brown incoming (Now signed)

Thats the point - he hasn't just joined us. Bristol Live is reporting that he is training with us but nothing has been signed yet that the club have reported anyway

Bless

Recall Monty being given the sack at Oldham over an alleged Drug something.Charges dropped and signed for us.
When he subsequently played for us in our victory there thanks to the two Chelsea loanees both scoring he took great delight at the end taunting their fans.
Peter Hartley had a magnificent game for us that day.

There are plenty of fine young men who give their all when wearing the quarters, I think they deserve support.

Life's hard people mess up. I hope anyone impacted by any alleged and confessed offences is ok.

But people should be encouraged to be better and I hope the necessary conversations have occurred. Should he sign- he'll have my support should he sign.

Football wise - no brainer.

I would say some are more justifiable, absolutely.

Gender equality and specifically the equality of Women is something that's being championed and rightly so.

Do we pick and choose certain things where the equality comes in?

For instance here's an example, if I was being racially abused, provoked, or felt threatened with violence in any way by a Male I would have no hesitation to 'Assault' him.

So if 'Equality' comes into play, if the same scenario takes place where it's the Woman who is racially abusing, provoking or using threatening behaviour towards myself, I think I have every right to 'Assault' her to protect myself too? No.

I think it's also important to try and judge every 'Assault' case on it's own merits. I mean just a push away, or a grab of the neck, arm or whatever can be seen as an 'Assault', its a bit different to completely beating up or kicking the sh** out of somebody.

Also what are the details of Javani Browns trial? What was the Womens role in it? What prompted it? Was it unprovoked? He's admitted to an 'assault, Ok so was it a punch? Headbutt? Slap? Kick? Push? Shove? Grab? Headlock? Or did he unleash a full on unprovoked savage attack on her?

There's a massive difference.

Do you or anybody else know any of these details?

Agree to a certain extent. You can be guilty of an assault but having been assaulted first, if someone is attacking you at some point you have to defend yourself.

As for assault someone because they are abusing you and provoking you, no. I’ve been abused and provoked in the heat of the moment by quite a few women in an epic argument but to date I’ve not socked them one for it. Regardless of racial abuse or just common or garden jaw flapping, it is not justifiable grounds for an assault. Why? They are words. If we live in a world where words justify an assault, then a hell of a lot of DV incidents become justifiable. There’s usually some back and forth of words before someone loses it. Plus every time 2 folks square go and they happen to be of different backgrounds, a claim of mean words is a ticket out of it.

While it can go a long way to explaining matter, verbal abuse only can mitigate an assault if it carries a threat. Ie “I’m gonna kill you” is different.

Now, we are absolutely fine to believe that some folks have it coming if they say horrible things. If you just straight up abuse someone and get a smack, so be it. In law, you have 2 offences. An assault and a public order offence. It’s not legal to abuse someone for no reason anyway.

Grown adults should be able to control their tempers, even when provoked. I had a run in with someone in a car park, a guy who just wanted a scrap. I sat in my car and realise he’d had a hard time probably and I wasn’t going to start fighting as an adult, esp not in front of my family. He calmed down and left.

I felt a bruised ego for a bit but in retrospect not having a broken jaw or a night in the cells over a non issue was the correct decision. Nor did I want the guy nicked for provoking me. Sometimes, almost always actually, it’s better to diffuse matters

Looking forward to watching him play for the gas.

Ask yourself this question, If he done the same to a man, would it ever got to court ?

Speaking from personal experience, no the police would have dropped it

We have a position where fans now are so desperate for success that they are throwing all their morales out of the window, just like the club.

He has a Championship club in waiting in Rotherham United. We haven’t gone under the radar on this, we have just got in first because we have offered him security before his court case. Exeter and Rotherham have done the right thing, they have both said basically, innocent until proven guilty, if innocent or we hear the exact facts, we will then make you an offer.

Why wouldn’t Rovers wait to see the outcome, it’s 10 days away? We have split the fan base, the head of Her Game Too has had to deactivate her social media account because of trolling abuse, proper threats. The managers wife dialled 999, why don’t we wait to hear the witness statements and the victims and then make a decision? We haven’t because we are desperate and we have no morals and conscience as a club.

Adam Tutton resigned from the St Paul’s Carnival because they were selling t-shirt with a gun on it. He has to resign now if we sign a player found guilty in a court of law battering/beating up a women.

But all this said, just wait for the outcome and evidence to be heard.

I applaud Exeter City and Rotherham United, they are putting their club’s reputation, the fans and their community first, we are putting on the field success first, how would all you posters feel of this was your daughter or sister who was the victim?

Hear the evidence, see the courts decision, then make your decision on employing the person, this bloke isn’t the messiah of lower league football.
