Bellamy sounds like a lot of fun on a night out?

Loved him for us.

Always knew Bellamy was a bit of a dick but that has really soured my view of him.

And a bully,  mind you I tend to ignore those allegations which have become the norm in the pampered world of youth football.

I heard first hand from quite a few youth team players who were around Bellamy circa 2005 that he was indeed a bully ....

So apparently is Peter Beardsley and others,  sign of the times IMHO where you can't tell anyone off for fear they will report.

If someone is a bully, they're a bully.  Previously, we've had a culture where people were terrified of reporting anyone for fear they wouldn't be believed.

Thank goodness those times have been left behind....

Blame culture rampant.  I absolutely do not believe that all the football coaches so reported,  and there have been quite a few,  are actually bullies. Some may well be. Some because of player weakness of character. I detest the auto guilty response too. 

It's just as well that the likes of Souness took up punditry.

I think most would agree that Peter Beardsley is a vastly superior human being to Craig Bellamy.
