Seeing as you can get results in literally minutes I dont see the issue in terms of football playing, apart from them being prats outside of it? They need to be punished? That’s what BR has done. I would rather us lose the game today than see our players run around on the pitch after breaking covid rules. People are dying every day. It’s not on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walkerfox Posted 11 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 11 April 2021 Let me point this out to the people saying that what they have done isn’t bad. it’s not a case of breaking lockdown rules and if you agree with them or not. That doesn’t matter. They will have known what the club rules are. They will Have known that if they are caught breaking them, they will be unable to play. They have decided that this doesn’t matter, and have gone to a party anyway. Therefore, the party was more important to them than playing against WH and potentially solidifying a top 4 place. That’s not how elite athletes should think. 24 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems people in here moaning are also forgetting that Barnes and our CAPTAIN Morgan were allegedly also part of it. Be interesting to see the reaction from the management. Both of those are injured so they don't directly affect the team selection for this game. They will be dealt with accordingly. Every game right now is huge, the full focus should be on the final 8 league games and the semi-final. I don't think they should be thrown out of the club or pelted with rotten tomatoes but they know this can cause issues and there was just no need for it.

Doubt it, The Premier League will be operating under strict protocol much like other sports. You’ve seen the same with England cricket players, where they’ve broken a bubble, that player has taken no immediate part in team activities for good reason on both clinical and disciplinary levels.

Analysethis Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Hamza hardly plays, Ayoze is hit or miss and Praet IMO is a better option anyway, Madders hasnt played for a spells this season so wasnt 100% match fit anyway. Our bench may on the face of it look weaker due to all these youngsters but the way I`ll look at it is its their chance to shine if called upon. As for the 3 who have allegedly messed-up, no need to waste any more energy on them at this stage and concentrate on those who can help us today.

HybridFox Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Will wait for a source but doesn't look good when 3 match fit players are coincidentally dropped from the squad. Arguably biggest game of the season today as well. Couldn't have happened at a worse time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 They are meant to be role models (not that I agree with it, a lot of footballers are idiots), they're being paid millions of pounds a year and they are allowed to socialise at Seagrave already, unlike the rest of the normal folk who have to WFH. I imagine a few attitudes in here would change if we were to miss out on the CL by a point or two and we lose today, we might end up having to sell someone like Ndidi or Tielemans to cover the gap in finances. They're grown men, not kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this is also about professionalism as much as it is breaking covid rules. If you’ve got a high stake project deliverable at work coming up and you go out on the piss, you may even get fired. Not sure why you’ve jumped at a defensive tone for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 If they have gone to a party knowing it could jeopardise their chance of being available for this game, given its importance, I would be happy to see them sold in the summer. If you are doing this, you don’t have the right attitude to compete at an elite level. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another 3 footballers who care about their own brand over anything else. Disappointing....yes. Total knob ends....very much yes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Wow. I was proud of our side having none of the selfish willy pullers you hear about. Kinda get it with Hamza as he plays football like he has zero brain cells, but surprised by the other 2. What a totally cowardly and selfish thing to do to the fans and their team mates.
