H72 265 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Convicted defender Craig Thomson to part with HeartsBy Brian McLauchlinBBC ScotlandHearts owner Vladimir Romanov has told BBC Scotland that defender Craig Thomson will not play for the Scottish Premier League club again.Thomson was placed on the sex offenders register last month after admitting to lewd and libidinous behaviour against young girls over the internet.The 20-year-old had been told that he would be able to resume his career.But, after speaking to Thomson last week, Romanov had a change of heart and decided his time at Tynecastle is over.And the owner has now issued a statement on the Edinburgh club's website, saying: "Craig Thomson will leave Heart of Midlothian Football Club imminently."The club has considered all implications surrounding the issue and has decided to find a solution for the player to leave the club over the forthcoming days."Thomson was convicted on 17 June at Edinburgh Sheriff Court following his behaviour towards two girls aged 12 and 14.He initially resumed training with the club and issued an apology via Hearts' website.Hearts' backing for the Edinburgh-born player was criticised from various quarters, including supporters' groups, the Children's 1st charity and sponsors.However, Thomson was then suspended by the club and Lothian and Borders Police subsequently released a statement saying that they were making enquiries into fresh allegations against the player.The Scotland Under-21 right-back first broke into the Hearts first-team in August 2009 and was a regular feature in Jim Jefferies' side last season.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14099136.stm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also not going to walk about with business cards that has his telephone number and MSN adress on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
