Bellamy Steps Down After Bullying Allegations

[Steve Bruce Almighty 2,938]

Doesn't seem the type 

[The Artful Dodger 1,732]

Not sure why he got taken on by Sky Sports, always seemed a thoroughly unpleasant individual.

[Smiley Culture 1,351]

Found him surprisingly quite articulate, sensible and worth listening to on Sky, in comparison to others they have/had doing the punditry on there. 

“Bullying” is such a vague claim. I suppose we’ll never know what that exactly entails or find out much from the investigation but  I suppose his reputation proceeds him.

The sort of guy you want leading rather than coaching I think.

Quite agree with you - the episode with Riise should be evidence enough of his character.

To be fair Riise was a fucking prick as well and the one who started it, instead of simply telling him, i don't want to sing or, shut up, i don't want to sing, he told him, shut the fuck up or else i'm gonna smash you! That's a threat and a provocation, many would have responded violently albeit probably not with a golf club.

Sing or sign? Was it a Karaoke or contract row?

Karaoke

 

Quote

Liverpool's squad had jetted off to train in Algarve before their Champions League showdown with Barcelona.

Some of the players had headed out for a drink and Bellamy called for the left-back to sing karaoke at a local bar.

As reported by The Guardian, Riise said in his autobiography: "Pretty soon Bellamy was over by the karaoke machine with the microphone in hand: 'Riise's gonna sing! Riise's gonna sing.'

"Furious, I went over to him to him: 'I'm not singing. Shut the f**k up or else I'm gonna smash you!

"He screamed back: 'I'm gonna f*****g kill you, you ginger c**t."

 

Riise then went back to his hotel room before he was woken up by Bellamy in the middle of the night with a golf club.

He added: "Bellamy raised the club over his head and swung as hard as he could.

"He tried to hit my shins, which would have ended my career, but I managed to pull my leg away in time."

Bellamy has serious issues. That karaoke incident is insane.

[Steve Bruce Almighty 2,938]

He also knocked a lass over and spat on her once on a night out. 

I remember rumours from the early 00's about him abusing strangers for no real reason. One in particular where he was mocking this lad in a sports shop because he had manky trainers and couldn't afford the most expensive one's.

You'd think he might have matured now given that he sits on SkySports lecturing fans and players on their moral shortcomings. Seems like maybe he hasn't.

Ruling through yelling at cunts can be just as good.

I think he's decent as a pundit to be fair. Should just stick to that. There's very little details to these "bullying" allegations so I can't say that it affects my opinion of him either way. Could be serious but it could also be nothing especially with today's overly sensitive climate.

[Devil-Dick Willie 1,691]

He probably didn't give the lads a participation award 

[Marc 569]

As I have recently suffered an unfounded bullying accusation myself I don’t want to jump to any conclusions regarding Bellamy. I know how it feels, first hand.

 

@Stan

I’ve found him to be a dick throughout his career but I agree with Smiley he’s come across quite well on sky and doesn’t just pull the party line like some of the pundits.

Out of interest how did that come about?

[Vegan Kel 171]

I like him as a pundit. I always remember a Newcastle fan at uni telling me that if he played for my club I'd love him and I can see what he means as United have had many like that - the easy targets for opposition fans to target who would be idolised if they were at their club. 

Not sure whether there's anything in this or not but I'd like to think it's just snowflake kids snowflaking

Its probably not. All the people I've spoken to that have opportunities at professional clubs  have said about how disciplined it is. It would probably have to be quite bad. He does seem like a cunt I wouldn't be surprised if it was quite bad

I suggested that Blue may have a learning disability, so they banned me for a week. Despite other members and even staff calling people insults that suggest learning disabilities.

The authorities also made up that they've been warning me for bullying. They hadn't warned me for bullying.

Don't get on the wrong side of the authories, they'll try get rid of you and cover it up - Saudi Government style. I'm still here, all limbs in tact, just.

[DeadLinesman 3,424]

Yeah, I remember that time we all lured Swifty into the online staff room and murdered him because he called me Deadlinesbooby.

Ow right. I thought you meant at work
