Spot on. They will talk amongst selfs how people talk with mates down pub. Let’s been honest they’ve said nothing controversial either.

He says it's been photoshopped?

I would be disappointed if robins talks like that.

It was careless of Austin, but also pretty out of order of the guy taking a photo and posting it online.

The only thing controversial was calling Hoedt shite... he scored last night

But in the context of Watford have been rubbish this side of xmas and the way they go through managers, Ismael is probably in for the sack sooner rather than later - I am sure even the most ardent Watford fan would agree with them

Do people think robins and Austin chat in code ???

Fuck me , totally normal chat and if we fail to beat Watford it's because of ourselves not a couple of messages

The content of the messages is fine. Standard scouting report chat, Tame stuff.

It was pretty sloppy to leave an open screen whilst you know people are directly in view of it but it should just be treated as a lesson learned for the future.

Watford will 100% try and fan the flames now, and so they should. But from my eye there wasn't much in those messages that hasnt been obvious about them for a good few seasons. They always strike me as a collection of players rather than a team. occasionally they may have enough individuals turn up to win but mostly they just seem a bit soulless and uninterested.

Will add I'm quietly impressed by Mark Robins emoji use

It’s all blown out of proportion.

Even the Watford fans agree their players and manager is shit

No one is suggesting the content is unusual. The story is that was leaked due to carelessness on Austin’s part. That is unusual. You don’t see leaked dialogue between a scout and a manager very often. In fact I can’t ever recall seeing it.

You don't often get people illegally taking pictures over your shoulder in a football stadium and sharing online.

If this turns out to be real the most surprising thing will be that Robins gets his scouting information via emoji

Pretty careless from Dean Austin this. You can be sure this will find its way to the Watford dressing room and will fire them up for Saturday.

Not sure what legal action can be taken here?

I’ve said before and I’ll say again, who would have thought the Director of Football for St Albans would be a complete fucking amateur.

The thick twat is acting like a Sunday league manager, waving his phone about with the font size at XL at a club he’s inflicted himself on.

Austin needs to go and quickly.

Wasn’t it Robins’ decision to bring him to the club?

To this point what has he done wrong in his role?

Is it just the fact he came from St, Albans that annoys you?

This is typical - this is why footballers put their hand over their mouths when they talk on the pitch and why nothing of consequence ever gets shared in the public domain.
Dean Austin will be sat in the back row of the stands from now on!

It’s all well and good saying he shouldn’t have had the messages open on his lap but that only widens the opportunity for someone to take a picture. There’s a limit to precautions you can take. Should staff go to a toilet stall before unlocking their phone?

I don’t see the language used as unprofessional either. It’s casual communication between colleagues who know each other well and intended to be private.

I think it's fake! And used to fire up the opposition at a time they are really feeling low perhaps Ismael Vallarian has run out of ideas on the grass.
