think we have gone for quality rather than quantity and its abouts time too, less mediocre players and more quality.

heres to a cracking season

one of the chicks in our Hull office said they saw PK in Beverley on Saturday and was shocked how disheveled he looked!!
she recons he looked like he hasnt eaten for a week, I hope this fiasco with PK isnt effecting him personally .....
has anyone else seen this also

Suppose thats what 20 pints a night and 40 fags a day does for you

Maybe he is trying to lose some weight and fancies his arm at fullback. We are short of cover !

feel bad for him, you know sometimes there are individuals who need life coaching as well as footie coaching and PK is one of those I guess....
just needed his pals to pick him up on it now and again.. or are they the root cause
I dont know but feel sorry for the lad, always FC through and through

the only thing PK has ever given 100% to is PK, I have no sympathy, he's had more second chances than I care to remember.

sad to say you are correct , but I have no doubt he loves the club but just never had the common sense to go with it... once on that elevator down its hard to get off I guess

he has suffered from a lack of quality in the coahces he has had, McRae never actually sorted him out, he was screwed since then.

such a wasted talent, like many before him.

my point exactly, many who were decent footie coaches but not one of them had any experience in dealing with kids with personal issues!!
an RL version Paul Gasgoin I guess !!
with the increase in cash these days there maybe should be a place for some sort of personal non football manager in clubs today, one who can life coach and help where needed because the coaches on the footie side neither have time or interest in personal stuff
PK was GB material all the way when younger but the GB brass knew he had issues thats why he never got a run

PK is the fault of PK, plenty of other players handle themselves much better, but I do take your point. What also doesn't help is the low standards that many RL fans will accept from players in their social life.

your not wrong, my youngest was always a massive fan of PK , I had to lie when I told him he was leaving and said it was because his contract expeired and he isnt allowed to resign, simply to protect him from the truth .
My son holds these guys very very high indeed , they should all realise that is the case generally and act accordingly in public!!

Social responsibility has never been high on the agenda for RL players, some (like Swain and Kearney) are born ambassadors, other (like Cooke and King) are examples of what you shouldn't be doing with your private life.

There will, alas, be similar issues with players in coming years, we're culturally bankrupt in a lot of cases, drink has become deified, being drunk is on a pedestal, and it's all "a bit of a laugh"

not in my house it isnt, we have a social life also were not prudes by any means but drunken behaviour is not high on my agenda of acceptable activities and my family will i hope follow suit, there is drinking and then there is what many of these players call acceptable.
I am for one glad this drinking culture is broken at FC
