EGBFitness Posted 13 September 2014 Author Share Posted 13 September 2014 Have a word with YOURSELF. Obv the rules are not stricter as he was on his phone. Maybe you and your mates should be concentrating on the game yourselves instead of looking at the bench. Christ he put his shift in and looked at his phone. Big fvcking deal. Amazes me that people find this sort of thing so offensive. Haha good emphasis of YOURSELF Yeah I'm sure your right, Leicester City a professional team in the premier league won't have stricter rules than semi pro teams Maybe to keep people like you happy we could get the subs signing autographs and taking selfies with the fans during the game too?

Fatbloke Posted 13 September 2014 Share Posted 13 September 2014 Agree with Bert, this was not a game for flair players and I would have withdrawn him earlier when it became obvious he was being bullied out of the game, definite starter next week for me though, pure quality :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGBFitness Posted 13 September 2014 Author Share Posted 13 September 2014 Except people are jumping to conclusions without knowing the full facts. The lad may have a poorly relative and the club have agreed to allow him to keep a close eye on his phone just in case he has to be elsewhere. Without knowing the facts you can't really judge him or draw any conclusions, afterall he was sat amongst the whole coaching staff and it doesn't appear that any of them had any concern to ask him to stop. You do have a point there, I'm sure if there was something (hopefully there isn't) then City wouldn't travel him back from Algeria as we have other wingers that could play if needed?

lgfualol Posted 13 September 2014 Share Posted 13 September 2014 Only just played 90 mins with Algeria so was bound to not have the best game. As for checking his phone, so what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but who's to say that if this is the case, said person is based in Algeria. He may have family in the UK or France. I may be completely wide of the mark and this may not be the case at all but I think it is a little unfair to judge him without knowing the full details.

Brilliant. Completely go over the top to try and support your original overreaction. People like me will be happy when the fans stop trying to find things to complain about. Supporting a team is hard enough without shitty little non issues like this being brought up. Not so long ago we had a team that when they were on the pitch clearly didn't give a shit. Our spirit is evident for all to see and Riyad is a part of that. Why try and cast a shadow on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was put as an something I seen, it was barely an over reaction stating he should be fined/dropped to the youth team etc Personally I see being on your phone whilst apart of the first team squad during a game as a lack of professionalism. I do find brilliant your suggestions of checking his twitter feed or that professional clubs wouldn't have stricter rules than semi pro teams. I haven't questioned our teams spirit or desire but as a set up that is normally so professional that Pearson has set here being on your phone whilst on the bench is strange to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain... Posted 16 September 2014 Share Posted 16 September 2014 Personally speaking Stoke away was the wrong type of game for Mahrez. They're a big team and it's a quite an intimidating place to go. Bearing in mind that he's been halfway round the world and back this week as well, he looked quite tired. Albrighton would've perhaps been better suited to this game especially having experienced the Britannia before. Was rightly dragged and the subs paid off. The question is should he have started if he wasn't 100% after playing for his country? same with Schlupp, both had poor games, both were travelling long distances and both are fast players (see Rodgers' comment on how he protects his fast players). Fair play to Pearson for making the changes at half time, but it was his starting line-up he had to change. The next international break is just before the Newcastle away match which will be a tough game, but definitely winnable, do you think NP will rest them after the international break, like Stoke did with Diouf? As for the phone comment, does anyone think he might be able to check his performance stats on his phone, we have all seen how they have all that info on ipads, surely it is there on the phone to check too.

65RosesFox Posted 16 September 2014 Share Posted 16 September 2014 Didn't get a lot of service or help today, to be honest. One to forget but hope he's not dropped for it. Just a casualty of a poor team performance first half. may be this is why he was checking his phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
