Stoke City: Fans deserve apology, says Fuller
by Michael Baggaley
STOKE striker Ricardo Fuller has apologised to supporters and left his future in the club's hands following his red card for slapping team-mate Andy Griffin.
Fuller reported back for training with the rest of the squad today and reflected on his dismissal in Sunday's 2-1 defeat at West Ham.
He told Sky Sports: "I feel bad really, especially knowing that I cost my team some points. But that's how it goes.
"That's football. Sometimes you want to do so well and things happen."

“Football is a team this was an assault on a fellow team player which lead stoke to loosing at least one point. Similar indiscipline probably lead to a loss of a point against Man Utd. SCFC have to ensure this indiscipline stops - now! The best way to do this is to sack Fuller immediately. He should not play for the club again. His is willing to mouth off at every referee he meets, complains endlessly and now assaults his captain on the field. How can the club openly suopport him for his antics. The fans deserve action from SCFC. They are the ones paying the money and hoping stoke stay in the premier league. Fuller is damaging our reputattion. What referee in the country is going to look at him favourably from now on ? He needs to go for the sake of the team, the clu, and the fans.”

“Fuller is looking for a way out. Its obvious, he swans round like he is world class. I'm afraid people need to wake up and smell the coffee, he thinks he is big time, unfortunatley he isn't, how many times this season has he been booked for back chatting ref's? Thats not passion, or giving 'too much for the club', thats just daft, I wouldn't mind if he was getting booked for chasing back and tackling, that would be giving 'too much'.”

“Some Appology. "I FEEL BAD, BUT THAT'S HOW IT GOES",
Well Ric it wasn;t ok for us standing on the terrace at Upton Park with all the home fans laughing at us because of your spoilt little brat antics.If you had a fraction of the passion the stokies have got we would not be in the relegation zone.Perhaps a bit more effort and more goals might help,Rather than throwing your toys out of the pram.Prove people wrong Ric by scoring goals week in week out.TP,Get some quality alongside Fuller or we are down,Certainty.”

“Ric has done the right thing, now lets all forget about it. Ric deserve another chance because he has worked so hard for this club, Yes he is well played but there are players who are playing in this league on a lot more money than fuller but are not fit to lace his boots! So all those people who have said he should be sold so talking twaddle and get behind Fuller and the rest of the team!!!!”

“I too accept your aplolgy Ric. This guy has so much on his shoulders it ever likely he explodes at times. We need at least 1 good striker although I feel once mamma is back the goals will flow. Ric truely misses Mamma as he takes a massive work load off him. Come on Stoke lets go into the new year with all guns blazing, please TP dont let Ric go, he doesnt deserve that.”
