All this talk of Parkers: I don't drink there so I don't know the extent of what some people often allude to on here. Are you suggesting (without naming names) that there are players at FC who drink excessive amounts of alcohol on nights leading up to a macth, or are you suggesting that they drink on nights after matches when it would be more acceptable? AND, if it is the former, do people think that they are doing it with or without the knowledge of the coaching staff and board at the club. If there is a drinking culture and it is not frowned upon by the coaching staff (at least) then that would be reason enough to get rid of the coaching staff before any of the players at fault.

OR is it that it is just Chinese whispers?

I chink those in the know, know what they are talking about me old China

I would imagine that the majority of the time they get sh.t faced after a game which is upto them, and then wouldn't suprise me if they are turning upto training hungover. Which should be out of the question.

The annoying thing is the rumours of certain players facebook profiles talking about looking forward to going on the lash after the game rather than the game itself. Wrong approach and lack of professionalism for me.

Without a doubt!

If that's true and it's in the public domain then someone ought to point the coaching staff at those pages (they might not use facebook). If that attitude is openly condoned then the coaching staff should go (in my opinion). We might all enjoy a pint but overdoing it on a regular basis would make it difficult to function properly, even in my desk job, so I hate to think how it would affect a person in a profession as physical as RL that also required tactical awareness and extremely quick reaction time.

If thiis true and the coaching staff are aware I would withdraw my loyalty towards Agar at the drop of a hat.

Hull FC should ban facebook then

problem solved!

any particular players involved i such network sites?

Good question and one that would provide evidence (apparently) to substantiate the rumours on here about a drinking culture existing at the club..

Surely they'd still be looking forward to the night out (and going on it), just not telling everyone that they are.

Its defo true. Ive come across them myself. (by accident not stalking!!)

Difficult to do. Its not actually work related and doesnt impact their day jobs etc so they would need to be careful interfering with peoples personal lives.

But that approach is a tad more professional.

Thacks is the one ive come across. Tickle is rumoured but ive not seen it.
