Footballer Jay Donnelly jailed over distributing an indecent image of a child.

Footballer Jay Donnelly jailed over distributing an indecent image of a child. Should he play football again?

Should the Footballer Jay Donnelly be sacked by Cliftonville now that he's been jailed for three months for sharing an indecent image of a child? This all started in 2016 after Donnelly took a photograph of a 16-year-old girl while having sex with her. He then sent the photograph to a friend and a WhatsApp group that included fellow Cliftonville players. The Club's Management Committee say they will now "follow the required Club disciplinary procedures" but stopped short of dropping him. But should they give him the boot? Or should he be allowed to play for the club again after he's served his sentence? Vinny got the views of Allison Morris from the Irish News and sports journalist Steven Beacom.

Also on the programme, drug users in England are being let off because police do not want to harm their 'life chances'. Officers in the West Midlands are being told not to charge or hand out warnings to everyone caught with cannabis. The region's Chief Constable, Dave Thompson, told MPs he did not want to 'criminalise lots of young people'. What do you think at home about this? Should people be given another chance if they are caught with a small amount of cannabis? Vinny got the views of commentators Simon Warr and Fionola Meredith.

And, Gillette's latest advert has sparked a 'fat-phobia-debate' after the razor brand chose a plus-size model to front their new campaign. Body-positive influencer Anna O'Brien was chosen by Gillette to feature in a social media post showing the model splashing around in the sea. Is it irresponsible for a brand to use a severely obese model to promote its products? Vinny got the views of commentators Siobhan O'Connor and broadcaster Mike Parry.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
