Players out partying again

[Beefymcfc]

There's nowt wrong with drinking as a professional athlete but not heavily on a regular basis. The problem here is that they seem to be acting like spoilt stars living the high-life while the majority of people that support them are skrimping and scraping to get to a match or 2; or that is how it's being portrayed.

So, the moral of the story is, 'Do it, but just don't get caught'.

Whole thing makes me puke.

I agree with Dazby

I will make my point in every one of these threads. There is NO excuse for a modern footballer to drink alcohol. An Olympic athlete wouldn't do it. A footballer is no different.

I agree that the stasi should not have been decommissioned, and how dare any man who plays for our club have a drink or a cigarette...do gooders, particularly those who tell other people whats bad or good for them drive me feckin nuts, I always wonder what their agenda is. Do they do it to feel superior or to make themselves feel better or is it just that they really want to help people because they know the poor souls are incapable of helping themselves...answers on a postcard please.

What the fuck are you on about?

They are PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES earning £1/2 million every month ......... temperance should be a minimum requirement.

Why do you feel that temperance should be a minimum requirement, is it because you fear for their welfare and health, the club and their ability to play or are you just a free presbyterian missionary trying to 'convert' the natives to your RIGHT way of thinking? I'm genuinely intrigued by your motives...

ps maybe teachers, policemen, heart surgeons, etc should not have a drink or a smoke it might interfere with their essential contribution to the collective...and that would never do..would it?

Is Barry not slow enough already? You think it'll help keep his pace at its optimum if he gets pissed at weekend as well?

Or...

'Get a polite warning from your boss about doing it too often, do it again straight away anyway, allow yourself to get filmed doing it, don't expect to be in the team on Saturday' in Johnson's case.

Priorities. I'm not arsed about anyone having a drink. I'm just a bit dismayed that Johnson knows it's hindering his attempts to get into the team on a weekly basis but he's going doing it anyway (and, yes, getting caught). How badly does he want to achieve?

Also, he's not 'having a few' in the video, he's completely off his tits. Won't hold it against him, but he might want to have a think about what he's doing. From a professional's point of view, there's no moving upwards if you leave City these days.

I thought that was funny as fuck! Gareth Barry taking about 10 minutes to think of two sentences. Joe Hart in the wife beater. Johnson was just fucked out of his face!

"Mr Johnson! Mr Barry!" haha posh fuckin student twats!

As long as there not out raping girls or missing drug tests then I personally don't think there's anything wrong with having a drink.

Hope AJ fucked the little blonde one. All i have to say on the matter.

Got to agree with Dazby to a certain degree, get paid that amount of money and top of their game they shouldn't do it. Though I am not going to begrudge them A beer or two. Though they don't seem to get the cut off point and get trashed. As for who ever commented about police, Dr's etc does that mean anyone in a social capacity job shouldn't be allowed a beer?, half the folk I work with are piss heads and have the resposibility over peoples live but no one drinks at work.

Mecca - how could you resist???

I thought that was a picture of our new stadium!

Can one not taste the realities of life without having ten pints of realities followed by downing neat shots of 80% proof realities, until out of one's tiny mind on the realities at 2.30 AM, when the manager has expessed a strong message suggesting it's ok in moderation but not good at all in excess, just the week before? Even if it's just out of showing respect for a bloke who's done more in football than all the aformentioned reality tasters put together?

Neither did they. They got pissed on Monday night with their next game on the weekend, so with most of the week to get the alcohol away from their system completely.

I know they are pros and they ideally shouldn't do it but I am not too bothered by it as long as they don't do it close to a game. I have to say, though, that Hart and AJ seem a bit too happy to get pissed as for both it's the second time in just a couple weeks if I'm not mistaken.

Set of embarassing bigtime charlies- fuclin brainless

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

There's no 'values' where Stella is involved!

[Nigels Tackle]

broken britain.

[The Man In Blue]

The most embarrassing aspect of all this is obviously the fact our players are total lightweights.

[johnny crossan]

v poor do

[zuricity]

I reckon they are all sober and taking the piss.

[Beefymcfc]

I'm hearing from sources around the club that this was a PR stunt in order to get more of the lazy scrounging students out of their dorms and into the stadium. Apparently they are planning a huge 'Love-In' and 'Free Beer and Snacks' night in the stadium where they get hundreds of sofa's on the pitch and let them bring their own 'Shit'. What they don't know is that we all get to watch from the stands when the Lions are released - last Bong standing wins.

Pass the word, and the popcorn. Should be a good event.

There's a second video where Hart shouted 'I am a golden God' from the roof before jumping into the pool. It hasn't been leaked to the press yet though.

By the way, that Bosvelt story first time round was one of the strangest things I've read on here.

[Im_Spartacus]

Adam Johnson is getting abit of a reputation for this now isn't he, that and the fact that he's acting like a big time charlie on the pitch and i would bring him royally right back down to earth. Join the EDS for a few weeks Adam.

I'd even be tempted to pay Given for a few games aswell but then he too was involved in this.

Certainly seems that AJ is a problem doesnt it. It will be interesting to see how selection goes for him in the next few weeks.

I'd test them all for alcohol intake before each training session.

My understanding is that most football clubs do saliva tests at training, on a very regular basis.

[Wooders]

I have to agree with the general sentiment on this thread, that it looked like the shittest party on gods green earth - what were you thinking lads?
