Two sides to every story - Ousmane Dabo

Yup the day we couldn't attack someone from behind in the workplace is the day this country went to the dogs.

It's an odd character you've adopted isn't it? I'm growing quite fond of him to be honest.

dont know both sides of the story to that one. But if the guy was pissed and giving abuse then i bet he regretted it after :-) if it was an unprovoked attack by Joey for no reason then obviously way out of order. Wasnt there and the CCTV doesnt tell the whole tale...nor does the media truth be told.

If someone jostles me, I usually tend to either jostle them back harder or maybe grab them by the shoulder and have a word. Attacking someone in public is a mugs game. You do that with no witnesses unless you fancy some bum sex in prison.

If somebody jostles me I lean in to kiss them. On the lips. Usually puts the frighteners on em and they soon scarper. And if they dont, I get a snog. Win win.

I approach the situation like a sensible adult. We all sit down and discuss the situation to find the optimal solution. No matter what the outcome, we can surely remain amicable. Why not spend some time together, all three of us, and see where it takes us? Book a holiday together, go sightseeing, visit a dairy farm with a large vat of youghurt, unfortunate accident with both him and her drowning in it, oh well, can't be helped, pick up the pieces and KBO.

Joeys POV btw..in the interest of fairness...



We were preparing to play Manchester United in the derby. That summer we’d signed Dabo: he was a French international and he’d come from Lazio as a big name player. He used to smoke cigarettes and seemed to me like he didn’t give a **** about his football. He was just picking up his money and was over in England on a jolly up. We got on alright with each other, but we weren’t particularly close. I was ahead of him in the pecking order at the club and getting picked more than him. All in all we wasn’t having the best of times really. It was a frustrating year for him, I guess.
I told him I thought he was **** at football, he told me I thought I was big time and started swearing at me in French
In the run up to the United game there was a really tense atmosphere around the training ground, and everyone was putting a shift in. In one training game I went in a little hard on him, I think I left my shoulder in. He took exception to it and went in really late on me a few minutes later. But I saw it coming and jumped out of the way. Then we started insulting each other. I told him I thought he was **** at football, he told me I thought I was big time and started swearing at me in French. So training gets cut short, and we’re all walking off the pitch. He’s walking ahead of me with Sylvain Distin, and they’re chatting in French, I think Sylvain was telling him to calm down. But me and him are still having a pop at each other, and I just remember laughing at him and saying, dead sarcastically ‘Yeah, you’re a good player’. He literally just flipped and sprinted towards me, and when he got about a yard away, he pulled his fist back to hit me.
I thought: Right, we’re in a fight here
He was a big old lad too, so I wasn’t just gonna let myself get hit, so I punched him and took the wind out of his sails. But obviously he wasn’t gonna just back down after that, so I thought ‘Right, we’re in a fight here and I’m not gonna take any chances’, so I hit him again and I knocked him out. I think I threw two punches during the whole thing.
He started a fight, I responded and he lost
I got sent home from training so he could calm down and get checked out by the club. And a couple of days later, I got a call to come in to a meeting and was told that I was suspended until further notice. I think he got suspended too. But in the meantime, he went to the papers and the police and told them I’d attacked him from behind and that he wanted to press charges. By that point I couldn’t do anything or put my side of the story across until after the court case was finished. But I’ve always looked at it this way: he was a big lad, who liked to throw his weight about. He started a fight, I responded and he lost. And the only way he could get his own back was to go to the papers. Pathetic really.
