Quote: Lord Tony Smith "Not for me. They are elite professional sportsmen they shouldn’t be out there drinking in the middle of a season let alone when current performances and results have been embarrassing. And when, there’s so much scrutiny currently on the board as there is now, which Lomax who is pretty active on social media will be aware, it’s a silly move from him to go along with this. It gives a general impression that ‘we’re not bothered’ and kind of rubs peoples faces in it.'"
We’ll have to agree to disagree. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t want any of the players ‘doing a Westerman’ but I don’t think a few beers mid season is a problem as long as it isn’t taken too far. If it helps bring the club together a little all the better, though that wasn’t the reason for the get together.
I get it can rub people up the wrong way, but they aren’t robots and can’t be confined to quarters just because things aren’t going well. There were plenty of kids there on the off chance getting pictures with players etc, all good in my opinion.
