  PAOLO Di Canio has forgiven five of his players for their late-night drinking session on Saturday after they apologised and insisted they would never let him down again.

Great news

"“I received an apology from every single player who did not behave completely professionally, and this doesn’t mean I push them out straight away,” he said."

Think the manager overeacted and dropping players was as bad an error than the one the players made. That said, he is the boss and they know by now what he is like so should tow the line(or not get caught)its time to draw a line and move on.

It's weird why Flint go singled out when he allegedly hasn't done anything wrong?

I reckon Paolo thought he was one of them and then found out later he wasn't, hence the misunderstanding in Flint's tweet.

I don't think you can (or should) push something like this on someone who has just lost their mother but, in more normal circumstances, an apology from PDC to Aden Flint would not have gone amiss either.  Flint's conduct has been exemplary in the face of the innuendo and criticism he has faced this week.

Anyway, I'm irritated that the sorry saga might well have affected the result on Tuesday and that it has therefore robbed me, possibly, of a chance to see us go up - but glad it's behind us now.  Now for promotion.

Spot on.

So Flint wasn't 'blurry' after all then.
I hope he doesn't hold a grudge with Paolo now.

I'm going to start using the word 'blurry' more often.  It's a good word.

I'm sure Paolo is man enough to admit his mistake. Flint would be stupid to hold it against him anyway.

Still doesn't explain why Flint played so badly then  ???

Ah must've done it on purpose.

Flint was having a long chat with Connell during the warm up.

Does PDC usually watch them warm up, like he did at Aldershot? Or was he just keeping an eye on them!

Yes always.

Did he play any worse than anyone else? Ok he was at fault for the 2nd goal but he's hardly the first defender in league 2 to make a mistake is he?

A nothing story, lets all move on..

Not sure. But the defence in general was no where near our normal standards

True enough. Doesn't mean they were all pissed though.

This little saga will be over all too quickly

Next time they should spice it up with a monster coke and E sesh, should get more out of it then.

Changing the subject a bit but in line with the coke sesh.Anyone else notice just how long it has taken Jack Wilshire to get over his 'twisted ankle'

Good stuff now lets win the fucking league.

Does seem to have taken a hell of a long time, missing the euros as well now, Wenger will be pleased
