I understand that, as a manager, you have to protect your players - but that is just the sort of mealy mouthed, vapid shite I'd expect a Roland stooge to come out with
If, as a teacher, I had sworn at a "customer" aka a parent, I would rightfully be sacked on the spot.
Everything that keeps happening at Charlton I think unbelievable, but really we shouldn't be surprised. Chrissy Powell or Curbs wouldn't have stood for this.
That does not get him off the hook. If you're going on Saturday and he's playing, if playing is the right term, please give him some stick on my behalf. He bloody well deserves it.
Not defending Johnson, but believe Slade meant he apologised as a whole rather than the manager himself.
Have asked Shopper to change that, as I only sent them the quotes for that particular bit.
Fair dos (and thanks for interjecting with context, it always is appreciated). But it would be nice if RoJo came out and said something himself. He's clearly not afraid of talking. A five minute chat with the NewsHopper or SLP, an "I'm sorry, heat of the moment got to me, blah blah blah" would go a long way.
That said, I feel sorry for whoever has to edit out the expletives in his five minute chat.
If he was "alleged" to have engaged with fans then surely the apology is "alleged" as well. I doubt very much there was an apology. And "something between A FAN and Roger" ? Someone's lying here.
Just so I understand things correctly, some fans were giving a player who we all know can be a bit angry/shouty/sweary a load of abuse after we lost the game against bury. When said player got angry/shouty/sweary back at these fans they were somehow surprised and feel the need to cry on the internet about it?
Don't get me wrong, the fans pay money to see the game and should be able to vent at the players who don't look like they care, but I would be surprised if it was constructive criticism thrown at RoJo.
All the talk of 'support the team, not the regime' is fine if the team is actually supported. Lots of games last season I had someone behind me chanting 'support the team, not the regime' then the ball went to fox and the same guy started booing and shouting "don't pass to that useless c*nt".

The major flaw in your argument is that, by all accounts, Johnson wasn't getting loads of abuse.

'A fan'
Fuck off.
"For f*ck sake gaffer, f*cking little prick was a f*cking right wanky f*cking sh*tc**t, he f*cking gave it the right f*cking biggun"
"Okay, I'm sure of that but please try not to do it again."
"C**t bitch gravy"

Imagine RS spoke to KM and said, 'think we should sack him' and she said, 'no, he is cheap'.
RS then said, 'think he should apologise publicly?' and she said 'no, the fans deserved it'
so RS said 'you going to say something to the press' and she said, 'no, I may be CEO and on the EFL Board but the boss does not let me speak'.
That said, I feel sorry for whoever has to edit out the expletives in his five minute chat.
Anyway so what, it's all a big joke anyway.
Not taken seriously enough.
Slade and Johnson starting to share a similar theme considering Slade's little snap at Mendez
BE HAPPY WITH WHATEVER. DONT COMPLAIN.
YOUR ONLY ALLOWED TO BE POSITIVE AT ALL TIMES, OTHERWISE, F*CK OFF.
Seems I was wrong, as both Clemmit and Johnson apologised to 3rd parties who had nothing to do with what needs to be apologised for
Strange times!
