With typical under-statement, Saints coach Mick Potter said: "Sean Long didn't surprise me. We all know how good he is and he should be happy with the way he went." That could be translated as, "damn him, damn, damn him, the little ..."
I don't think this rumour is all to do with his impending court date, I believe it's been the way he has conducted himeself in pre-season. I believe he may have been a silly boy once again.

Still think he's a good player and would leave us very short in backs if he went , if he is fit then might aswell use him till April , Think some people just change their opinion of him because they think he might be going

Ability never been in question for me, application yes, he lets himself down way too often and has had enough chances on a test players wage time to part ways for me, on top of his injuries aswell a luxury we can't afford to carry imo

You could say every player let themselves down last year so why is he any different ?

He cant do much at the moment he is injured !!
When your on a good behaviour order for a year, thats exactly what it means you have to be whiter than white(no pun intended) no fall foul of the law within months publicly, plus any internal matters he has done as well
If he is fit and available for selection then he should be selected (Dont know anything about any other problems?) If he is found guilty then he should be sacked and sent on his way. None of this "served his time so he should be allowed to play for us bollox either". Yes we lose a player and yes he may get picked up by another club but we need to be strong on these things and send a message to our current players and any future players that illegal activities that have a negative impact on the club will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

I agree the club wont be happy about the unwanted extra publicity come April but when you say other internal matters what kind of things are these ? What can he have done already during this pre season training considering he aint even training !!

Not saying this is the reason, but missing training, late for training, not attending club duties, etc there was a code of conduct laid down to the entire squad at the backend of last season as to what is expected with them regards conduct, even during the pre season this has again been discussed wit coaching staff, board members and even a legal reprensative been in to talk to the players to make them aware of what sort of conduct will constitute gross missconduct etc, so raynor and everyone else have been given fair warning imo, step out of line see ya
