Ben May Tapped Up

ARTICLE | Millwall's Ben May and Chelsea's Glen Johnson, mates for several years and almost blood bothers secured their friendship recently by going on a thieving spree to a DIY store. However, unbeknown to the two lads, obviously not the sharpest tools in the box, they were to be caught by a 74 year old security guard.

Now obviously I'm missing a trick here, rich, well off, well paid, over paid football players are now taking a trip to DIY stores to steal toilet seats and taps in a bid to avoid paying.

Players at Millwall helped steal £6 million pound from Millwall Football Club this last financial year and £8 million the year before that yet they managed to get away with daylight robbery on such a large scale, so I suppose we should be a little surprised when one of them gets nabbed nicking bog roll.

We're a society of dishonest people, invariably most in the nation have got up to something in their lives but how justice can be said to be done when these rich players are handed an £80 fine I don't know, £800 would have been more justified.

Who do these two players think they are anyway? Bobby Moore? W*st H*m S**g! At least he went round nicking top of the range bracelets - woofter, why not a watch? So what else have footballers gone around stealing? Three points? other player's wives? mobile phones... see they're just ordinary people like you & I.

So the next time you're on the toilet seat or twisting the hot water tap, think about this, sing a player's name during a match, speak loads about the talent they have and if you must queue for a signature at least keep a little bit of respect intact, they're just humans like you and I, they kick a ball and they're good at it.

Jealous? Nah, if I went around nicking toilet seats and taps when I'm loaded and got caught I'd be ashamed. They should take a leaf out of a Millwall fan's book. Any stand up Millwall fan wouldn't have got caught nicking such easily attained goods. Get some practice in boys.

And caught by a 74 year old... it just goes to show how good Laser eye treatment is these days and how much a replacement hip helps, perhaps we should dump Ben May and get the guard up front scoring goals while Ben does up the dressing room. Tart.

Around the tap it would seem. Chelsea scum also, bleeding taphunters or american slang 'head'hunters.

So why did they do it? Boredom?

Glen Johnson must be on a fair whack at Chelsea / Portsmouth.

Don't know how much Millwall players would be on, but considering May's been there awhile, no doubt a reasonable 'Championship' wage.

I don't know, I could probably find out.

Players are still rich in div two, they took £6 million off us last financial year, well all staff combined, probably £4 million and a bit was down to playing staff. As to why they did it, probably just for the laugh, just look at what they call the law and justice these days, fully paid up policeman acting as police tax officers, those two won't even get a criminal record, pointless, £80 to them, nothing.

I joke about it but I'm far from happy that they did it in the first place and secondly, that they got away with it and only an £80 fine but that sums up Labour, 300 years ago we'd have cut their hands off, let's face it, they're footballers so don't need them.

They shoiuld be fined by the club for bringing the club into disrepute, at Millwall we currently have one drunk driver, ten times over the limit? something silly like that, a murderer - he shot someone dead allegedly and a shoplifter and no doubt a few other unsavoury characters.

As Millwall fans we're hated by the club, put a foot wrong and they ban us all too easily, yet convict eleven go untouched. They charge us £26 to watch div two football, I don't go anywhere near home games these days unless they're on offer matches, I aint paying over the top, they get enough, they should try and manage that properly first before conning more out of fans.

I don't doubt they still get a fair whack.

My local club Bournemouth's highest paid player is allegedly on £1k a week.

I'm a Palace supporter (Noticed we seem to be keen on signing Millwall rejects? Lawrence, Ward and Ifill) and i dread to think what our highest paid player is on! Far, far too much for my liking.
