BOURNEMOUTH are demanding an apology following an X-rated tackle by Steve Slade.
But Slade may not be round to say sorry, after reports that Cambridge will sack him for allegedly spitting at fans after he was red-carded.
He was sent off for a two-footed lunge on Steve Purches, and Bournemouth chairman Trevor Watkins said: "I will be writing to the FA and Cambridge to complain about the tackle by Slade and the whole incident which followed."
But Cambridge boss Roy McFarland said: "He got the ball cleanly and I was amazed at the reaction of Bournemouth." Trialist Slade, who flopped at QPR and Spurs, set up an early goal for Zema Abbey but Steve Fletcher equalised with two minutes remaining.
The mafioso, guns, drugs and kitten drowning clearly took their toll. A gentleman sportsman turned savage. With nowhere left to turn he obviously dropped out of public life with just his spittle on the cheeks of a few Cambridge United fans as reminder of the man who went before.
I think we at SC should offer a sanctuary for Steve Slade. With the help of people like Bus Conductor, Lanh, SpurSince57 and Stoof we can reintegrate Slade back into the community. Steve, if you read this, we're here for you.
