The saying 'bent as a 9 bob note' has now been dropped.....corrected phrase is 'bent as the RFL!':d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45047.jpg



Quote: BD "Are they not allowed to have a drink before the season has even started? I follow a load of the players on twitter, and they all seem to working their s off.'"


24 players present last night. 22 managed to stay off the ale, why couldn't the other 2?

As I mention in my above post, I've nothing against them having a beer and many of them may well have done when they got home, they might be winding down with a pint as we speak.....nowt wrong with that.

However, when the club is pulling out all stops to get investment into the club I don't think it reflects well on the club for prospective sponsors to see players stood at the bar supping pints.

So someone who is drinking a pint at a celebratory night is seen as bad on the club? Two players?

Goodbye all. It was nice knowing most of you.:

And I still say that it's hypocrisy to accept that the players can drink in one place but not another. Are we going to have a ban on booze in the ground for no reason other than potential sponsors wouldn't like the idea of supporting a club that has fans who like a pint on a matchday?

Any fans who were saying it last night need to get a grip!!!! It's pre-season for god sake. If it was happening in the season then fair enough. P1sses me right off that.

So they don't need to BE professional, just LOOK professional? They can get tanked up behind closed doors, but not in public.

Why, exactly?

Absolutely 100% agree with this thread, to a point. 1 or 2 beers is socially acceptable, and I would expect the players to relax and make themselves available and accessible. Though several is not..... When I attend work functions with customers, clients and senior members of my business, then I moderate by behaviour even though in the privacy of my own world, I like a beer as much as the next man. Others do not.
I guess it comes down to your personal values of how you intend to present yourself, be perceived.

Hypocrisy, maybe a little: If you recall the picture of Peter Crouch in the Sun this summer with a fag is a good parallel. It was barely mentioned, because he was away from anything to do with his club, on holiday and in his break. I would wager if he was on an event for Spurs and was having a fag, it'd have been seen in a very different way.

I think this is a personal viewpoint. The "aren't they allowed to have a beer......." arguments dont hold up, the answer is yes - time and place.... that is in my view.

I absolutely agree about time and place in that if it affects your ability to do your job properly, you shouldn't be drinking and you should be taken to task by the management about it. And this should apply no matter what job you're in. However, this was a pre-season celebration event. If the guys only had one or two and were having a social chat at the bar, I still can't see that as a problem, no matter who's present. There are no reported incidents of them actually being drunk or indulging in anti-social behaviour on the night.

Why can't each event be treated on its own merit?

i think you need to take the night in it's context. to me the night symbolised the following;
- this is the squad for the season
- the season if full of hope and big expectation
- in the presence of the management, BOD and sponsors the squad are presented their shirts and it is a statement of intent by the club that we mean business this season.
- to the fans and the sponsors, this is the squad that will deliver success
- we have completed a grueling pre season and we are no ready for the season

so for those reasons i think it is fair to say players drinking beers at the bar can be seen as a little un professional. personally i dont care but i can easily see to some that it can be seen as pentulent!

no one is saying the players are out of order i think it was probably a little niaivaty on their part and it would not have hurt to keep off the drink given the night was about signaling it's intent for the upcoming season. impressions are everything in life and unfortunately you only get one chance at a first impression!!

You just cant win.

Just 12 months ago fans were up in arms about our drinkers at the club.
We all know who they are or were.

Now fans are sticking up for the drinkers.
Crazy old world. It's either one or the other.

I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word. Kumquat.:4652.gif

There's a HUGE difference between having a couple of drinks on an occasion like Tuesday and turning up for training/a match after a heavy session the night before.

If the two guys in question were worse for wear on the evening, then yes it looks bad. BUT, if they were simply having a social drink, there's no problem as far as I see it. And I still fail to see the difference between having a couple at the King's Croft and having a couple at home. They're still drinking and the "outcome" will still be the same - except that one is in a public place and one isn't. I really do fail to see why so much is being made of this.
