It’d only be the club forcing them to apologise anyway. I have a strong suspicion that young Maddison wants ‘a bigger club’. He’s probably pissed that his mate Chillers went to Chelsea. BUT I’m only surmising I think you're probably right about playing for a bigger club I bet he thinks that's why he doesn't get picked by England very often probably has Chilwell on the blower telling how good it is at Chelsea.

I'm guessing it didn't, as mentioned elsewhere there will have been many saying 'they didn't mean it'. 13 minutes ago, MPH said: I agree with you. But you can tell if it’s genuine or not. How the hell can you tell from a written apologywhether they meant it or not or are you expecting them to knock on the door of every Leicester fan a nd apologise in person? You going to say 'look me in eye when you say that?'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my memory he just on his own in the casino which he is perfectly entitled to do so. Especially because the media portrayed it completely wrong like he chose to leave the England squad when he actually wanted to stay but the medical team sent him home, and he went to the casino to watch the 2nd half whilst playing poker https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/oct/17/leicester-brendan-rodgers-defends-james-maddison-casino-visit “The kid went away with the international team and took ill while he was away. He wanted to stay and hopefully be ready for the second game. But the England medical staff – which I can understand, as he had flu and they didn’t want that to spread to his teammates – decided it’s best for him to leave the camp. So he leaves, gets some tablets with our guys at the club, then he feels better. “He watched the game at home on his own on the Friday and then goes out at half-time – probably he’ll make better decisions in his life but he went to a casino on his own to sit and watch the second half by a poker table. The suggestions are he left England purposelessly and then goes to a casino but that’s totally not the case at all. But his eyes have been opened now to the wider world in terms of what he did. He knows in hindsight he’s made a mistake.” Edited 14 April 2021 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because a few players broke a rule, he's the manager, deal with it. Get rid of them if he wants to, but leaving because of it makes no sense. The most affected by this scandal is Brendan Rodgers. You can tell that he’s seething about it though he has handled the media well. This may give him a reason now to go to Spurs at the end of the season and an excuse if we are to miss out again on top 4 and fail to get to the FA Cup final. These 5 have let him down more than anyone. Edited 14 April 2021 by oxtonfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volpeazzurro Posted 14 April 2021 Share Posted 14 April 2021 6 hours ago, ClaphamFox said: He had mild flu symptoms and England were concerned about him flying on Thursday with the squad, so they decided to leave him at home. On Friday evening - more than 24 hours after that decision - he visited a casino. He didn’t break any rules and Southgate admitted he hadn’t done anything wrong. Don't think my boss would have seen it that way. A recovery of Lazarus proportions? What a wimp. The fact that he's sitting round the table with his hood up? Do all punters do that?

He wanted to stay and try to be available for a later match, and it was the England medical staffs decision to send him home, not much else he could do?

volpeazzurro Posted 14 April 2021 Share Posted 14 April 2021 6 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Hang on, they flew out a few days before they played. He'd been sent home long before they played and if I remember rightly he disagreed with their decision that he shouldn't travel with them, he wanted to play. The time period is debatable but Southgate was quoted as saying he was sent home to recuperate. My point is that he was caught out under the circumstances as being a bit of a twat. Unfortunately he's done it again. As homer Leicester fans some may like to give the benefit of the doubt but ... to other people, he looks like a Grealish but with less than half the talent. For me he's acted like a complete muppet which put Rodgers in a difficult position. If I was an older player in that dressing room with ambitions of getting into Europe one last time I'd be wanting to bounce his tiny little insignificant head off the wall!

Once Southgate has sent him home from the squad he has naff all control over his recovery, Maddison went to visit Leicesters medical staff who gave him some tablets and he felt better after Media got hold of it and made it out to be a massively worse situation that it actually was, acting like he orchestrated the whole thing because he couldn't be arsed to play for England and wanted to go sit in a casino instead when in actual fact it wasn't his choice to leave at all I find it very strange that Maddison seems to be the target of some much worse vitirol than people like Grealish who has done MUCH worse stuff than Maddison in the current climate and has seemingly got away with it and is seen as Englands "Golden Boy" Edited 14 April 2021 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the circumstances with only half a brain, I still wouldn't have gone out on the town. He was supposedly sent back to recuperate. Nevertheless, if you really wanted to play for England in the future, would you act like such a twat? Oh dear, he didn't learn, he's done it again. We're in the here and now after all and his pontificating on video to us minions on how to behave and help the NHS etc, he's been an absolute mug. Just because he plays for our team why defend the utter twat, he put our manager in a right position. As for our supposed older wiser club captain! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
