Brilliant!  So rest assured all you Villains, Stewart Downing is definitely staying!  As things stand...

So if people keep on allegedly photo-shopping SD holding a LFC scarf on location, will there be official AVFC comment each time?

I know what you mean, When he was with us he was in and out of court every other week.

Behave you soft twat, 6 months he's been here and hasn't stepped out of line once. But he's been caught laughing in photo in a bar, on his holidays to boot... so naturally he must be out of control and leathered. No need to desperatly push the stereotype to give the gossip mongerers something to get their claws into.

That appears to be the end of that then ey?

I tell you what though, either there is a fella walking around Ibiza looking EXACTLY like Stewart Downing, or there is another fella who works in a bar who looks EXACTLY like a Liverpool Scarf.

I think the photo is genuine in so far as its downing and carroll posing with a scarf or banner of some sort. The thing that looks a bit dubious to me is the scarf itself. The lighting at the end where the woman and downing are holding it doesn't seem quite right. There's lots of light shining on them from the top right corner and you can see it clearly on their fingers but none of that light is shining on the scarf itself. It could just be the angle they are holding that end of the scarf but I would've thought there would be more light and shadow contrast on scarf given the intensity of the light IMO.

Don't think too hard mate, Occam's Razor. Carroll and Downing out on a night in Ibiza, they take a photo for fun and Villa officials scrambling to cover their bums to calm down a fanbase already furious at their choice of manager. And welcome to RAWK.

 Think about it realistically, what Photoshop wiz would intentionally create a photograph of Andy Carroll AND Stewart Downing? Stewart Downing for crying out loud. Villa's PR team have been working overtime the past few weeks. They probably all know he's off and this is simply damage limitation. And if he isn't in our plans then surely Downing would have told his bosses he was drunk at the time and Villa probably would have fined him by now.  I wouldn't be surprised if they (Villa) are linked with all sorts in the next few days to appease their fanbase.

Behave you soft twat, 6 months he's been here and hasn't stepped out of line once. But he's been caught laughing in photo in a bar, on his holidays to boot... so naturally he must be out of control and leathered. No need to desperatly push the stereotype to give the gossip mongerers something to get their claws into.   

Now now, lets not be a bell. I'm a big fan of Carroll and I find it refreshing to have a footballer who is an honest, normal lad who likes a drink. All I was saying was I agreed with the poster I quoted when he said most non-footy pics of Carroll are of him on the lash. This was similar when he was at Newcastle, when most non-footy pics of him were leaving court in a suit. I never said he's a dick, or unprofessional, or that he's been to court recently...

There is a hand with four fingers (Downing's), then more fingers above it. It's not the woman's hand because that's holding the top of the scarf above Downing's shoulder. It's not Carroll's because his hand is on the woman's shoulder. So whose fingers are they?

Mate I don't think anyone is questioning that they are in the photo but the scarf has been added for the humour and to get everyone on forums talking as though that proves what will happen!
