What the hell has Pulis got to do with it?
Since when did the manager of West Bromwich Albion have any say or authority over players contracted to Aston Villa Football Club?
You've completely lost me.
He was completely in the wrong Saturday, reacted badly. Lucky to stay on the pitch. So was Coady. McCormack too could easily have been red carded.
So how do we go about teaching him a lesson? How should we make an example of him? Let's not pull our punches here, let's really sort him out this time. Let's really whip this 'prick, 'cretin',
this 'Girlish' into shape.
How do we go about it tarzansbrother? I'm all ears.
You question my 'damn good footballer' comment. You're a disbeliever. Don't know how, cause I don't think you've seen him play much this season have you? Aren't you one of them armchair critics?
Did you not read any post match comments regarding Grealish's performance last week at Walsall, playing for his country, when many experienced scribes raved about his performance?
The lads talented. Whether you like him or not, you can't deny that.

I agree with Glensider . Grealish is a very talented footballer and one of our better players. He has suffered over the last 2 seasons in the same way as Gana and maybe one or two others in that he is surrounded by mediocrity that doesn't give him the platform to damage the opposition in the final third.
Holtelower you answer this point yourself when you reference his performance v Liverpool being down to Delph having a blinder. Do you not see what he can do given that support week in week out.
Tony Morley would never have been the player he with our current midfield playing behind him.

The Fear
A Wise Man (once sat next to him)
Jack's socks are silly.
His shorts, according to the two ladies who sit behind me are too tight. I didn't look until they said that, I think I concur with their belief. :3:
He likes balloons.
I would mention his hair but that would just look bitter by me :3:
I've yet to see the finished product. I've yet to be convinced he will keep focused on his game and development (but hope). I've not seen the world beater some talk about. I've not seen the total 'prick' or girlish that others have seen.
I would think it fair to say he has a bit of growing up to do and a bit of developing on the pitch to do.
Then we'll see.
At the moment I would say when the going gets tough, he's missing but that could be said about a lot of them to be fair.
He's certainly got the potential if we have the right manager and coaching staff to bring that out.

Pick 1 as starting both of them doesn't work

I have used Pulis as an example of a manager that players will do exactly what he says, any misbehaving and they are out on there ear. I'm hoping Bruce will find how to push his buttons. I ask again how many chances do we give this kid?
I think he should have been left out for a long while actually. I don't think he has had a great season either. Scored a couple of goals, gone on the piss after being given a joke of a contract and now been deservedly banned.
No need for the arm chair jibe either.
Well it's not a jibe tarzansbrother, I don't make jibes.
It's either a fact, or it aint. If it's an incorrect remark, I apologise. If it's a remark that rings true, and correctly portrays the situation, then I've nothing to apologise for. There's no need for you to be aggrieved or defensive. It's your choice. Not just you, I fail to see how anyone can be so negative towards Jack and his performances if they don't go to the games.
How many chances do we give Jack? Well you'd give him no more, you've made that clear.
I'm not at the end of my tether with him yet. He's way too talented to discard.

I am sure someone has already said this but we will probably only see the best of him when he leaves us similar to steven davis or idrissa gana to name but two.

I'd give him more chances if he earns it and grows up. I also hope Bruce gets the discipline right with this rabble starting with Grealish.
Any how my armchair has been dusted off as I've bought tickets for the glamour game that is Blackburn :5:

I am not yet sold on Mr Grealish.
It's disappointing that, as a 'lifelong Villan', he doesn't seem to be showing the necessary commitment and professionalism I would expect, but in fairness, he's been a little short on role models in recent times.
In a poor team performance on Saturday, I felt he did well enough, and took the defensive side of his responsibilities a bit more seriously than I've seen before. His petulance in stamping on the Wolves lad was regrettable, but understandable in terms of the frustration he must have been feeling. Not excusable mind you.
Without doubt, he has a wealth of talent, as seen from his recent England displays, but he does seem to be dining out on the Cup semi-final. As sirdennis (I think?) mentioned earlier, he needs quality around him to flourish, something in short supply among our midfielders. And as JF said above, he has plenty of growing up to do, so the ball is in his court there.
He wouldn't be the first name on the team sheet (after Westwood, obviously :3: ) nor would I consider him undroppable. I would imagine Bruce will take a pretty dim view of his antics on Saturday, and I would have thought a spell out, followed by some time on the bench as an impact sub, might be in order here.

Be interesting to see if Bruce takes the arm around approach or goes down the tough love route.

To call him girlish is an insult to girls. He is such a lightweight. Hes had 2 or 3 half decent games for us, but on the whole he has been a passenger. One for the future perhaps but he isnt mature enough right now. U21s is his level.

Seems you're saying it's fine for Rooney to go way, way over the top, because he'd become an England player, but Jack has it all to do so it's OK sling everything at him at every possible occasion. Fact: players get red cards; they do so because something gives in the stress of the moment. It happens all the time, and fans don't normally go berserk about it.
My guess is that Bruce will stick an arm around his shoulder and tell him not to worry, it happens. And that way we could get the player some of us think he will become.
That's the spirit tarzansbrother. November isn't it? The week after derby day.
Just in time for Jack's return. I hope he plays a blinder for you.
Glamour game indeed. In fact, Villa Park could be in mourning that day, extremely somber mood, if the week before we have had our backsides kicked over at Birmingham B9.
