Gordon the Great Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 2 hours ago, gerblod said: Sure, but isn't that way away from the principle being discussed here? We might be ebullient if we won this game, but we know now that Maddison, Perez and Choudhury hold their own enjoyment above the well-being of their colleagues, the team-spirit, respect for their boss and their team mates and the rules they were given. There are ramifications to breaking those rules and you should know what they are. I and many others who've commented on how angry and disappointed they are know them implicitly and understand the damage which can arise from irresponsible behaviour. The fact that they were warned about not going to the party, by their manager, and did so anyway - sneaking like overgrown schoolboys - shows arrogance and stupidity. I admired Mahrez as a player, but as a bloke all he was interested in was himself and now Maddison, who was considered to be a a good role model for a young professional and for those young professionals he works with. He now has got himself a rep. which will adhere to him like a burr - far more strongly than all the plaudits he has heretofore gained. It takes a long time to build up a reputation and one crass mistake to lose it. When I look at Thomas and Barnes I see model young footballers who realise the dedication it takes to get to the top and stay there. Partying is okay in small measure but all the crap that comes with living up to an image has seen many a good player fall by the wayside. In these circumstances maybe the Club needs to move them on and spend the money on lads who will devote their energies to their own improvement and the Club's success. Don't you think that they knew what would happen if they were found out? If they didn't then they are thick and if they did then they knew their actions could be deleterious to the team. Maybe we coddle these kids too much. It's interesting that our best footballer so far, Jamie Vardy, has emerged the hard way, taken his chance and showed a remarkable loyalty to Leicester City. He'll be remembered far longer than any of those three. Absolutely Brilliantly said, every word is bang on. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 12 April 2021 Share Posted 12 April 2021 Durham made the point that I made yesterday. Yes it was good that Rodgers did what he did But, discipline wise, all those players must have made the choice to do it in the first place. Suggesting zero discipline Very upsetting... and if true they turned the lights off to try to avoid being caught! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Corky Posted 12 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 12 April 2021 The manager can only do so much- he can't babysit them. If players are disrespecting his ground rules then that is their problem. They are grown adults, time to face up to your responsibilities. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's shockingly unprofessional if so ...just to be clear, you are suggesting the police contacting Rodgers prior to visiting the address is unprofessional!!! There should not be any surprise if someone either within the force or outside contacted someone affiliated to the club who passed on the information to Rodgers, who attempted to minimise the situation.

Popular Post Col city fan Posted 12 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 12 April 2021 Brings me back to this wider debate about whether modern day football fans can truly associate with the players and see them as heroes and role models. We’ve got people on here who have had tattoos done, depicting LCFC emblems and maybe certain players, trophies etc and hey, each to their own But one of the things that’s put me off modern day football is this disassociation between player and fan. I honestly don’t think Maddison gives a shiny shite about Leicester City, other than what he can get FROM us in terms of moving on. Mahrez was the same. Even Harvey Barnes must now be a millionaire in his early 20’s It’s not real life and it’s SO distant from the bulk of the rest of us, I find myself not particularly caring too. I’ve been a City fan since I was 7 and always will be. But if the likes of Maddison sod off to ‘a bigger club’ I honestly won’t give a toss. Why not? Because I don’t believe he does. So many people big these guys up as ‘heroes’ but all they are is very good at football. Many, innately. This is why I’d hate to see any of us turn on Vardy. He’s given his all, he stuck with us and didn’t go to Arsenal and he’s clearly loved being here, rather than elsewhere. Pretty much the rest of em.... meh 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Ferguson have to deal with a drinking culture and famously turned up at a party to drag Ryan Giggs and others away? Football managers must have the hardest job in the world with their employees who are mainly young, wealthy men who now have power and influence as well as fame and attention. It is unrealistic for them to have a complete hold on their squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
