fair dos

It is in no way justifiable and most definatley not understandable, he is in a position of being an ambassador of the club, however much he believes he is provocated he should be above it and take it with aplomb even though he believes he is in a demading situation, he reacted with venom to both gesticulate and mourh the words, don't misdermean yourself saying it was not inoffensive, at that time it was most definatley meant to be offensive.

Not understandable

don't talk poop - don't care if they are the worst team in living history, as frustrating as it is for the fans if you give it out be prepared to take some back



Ambassador of the club bo££ocks - are they supposed to have a white collar around their neck, they are grown men and if they get abuse its natural to give it back

I disagree, he is a paid employee of the club, therefore he should be man enough to take the flak without resorting to abusive words and gestures towards the fans who contribute to his wages.

Like Carragher he would have immediately regretted rdhis actions but unlike Carragher he hasn’t yet apologised.



For those of you who think it was OK where would you draw the line on what is and is not acceptable from players and staff?

Agree with that

Well we'll agree to disagree







Carragher has a million smacaroons to apologise for and you cannot compare a fingered gesture and a bit of verbal to the actions of our scouse friend



Do you believe Mark Noble should be banned

Like I said, if he did it, he's in the wrong.



Presumably you don't want me to 'demean' myself, with my 'inoffensive' comment? That comment was meant to be tongue-in-cheek - hence the emoticon - in that a lot worse was flying the way of the players and coaching staff. I'm not condoning what he's supposed to have done - merely saying that, in the heat of the moment, well several moments lately, his reaction may only have been human - if misguided. Hopefully, he will apologise.

Disagreeing, is that a first?



I don’t think Noble should be banned, the gobbin shouldn’t have been on the pitch. They must have borrowed the ‘yellow line’ stewards from LSV

Lets not forget about his past record too - the touchline bans etc due to abusing officials. Does a fan who works all week, has paid hundreds of pounds for a season ticket, travels to away games, all of which money is being paid to the wages of the likes of Paul Anderson deserve such abuse for venting their voice after watching such a shoddy performance, like that of Sunday ? This is everything that's wrong with the club for me at the moment, no professionalism !!

You most certainly have an agenda. You were doing fine up to making it personal.

I still don’t see a single person in this thread that actually saw this happen. Certainly not the OP either.

Go on, you know you want to





Do us all a favour, said last week this guy was a divvy
