Exactly paul McGrath & btryan robson were two of the biggest pissheads in football yet still did there jobs

Mind heared a beauty bout robson he'd get to training an hour early & were a bin bag ower his training gear apperantly the bin bag would help sweat the booze out of his system !!!!

I should try that
In the 80's aye. There is absolutely no place for alcohol in the modern game. Top class athletes have no interest in the stuff.[DOUBLEPOST=1396462711][/DOUBLEPOST]
McGrath could have been one of the best in the world but he liked the drink too much and had dodgy knees. Robson was one of the best in the world. Likes of Fletcher are no where near good enough to justify the drink they consume
Doesn't matter anyway. That's 20 years ago. The game has moved on.
 
Training staff, or the dinner ladies? There was enough evidence to dispel the idea that they weren't allowed to speak to the training staff and that they even managed to have a laugh with them. I know this to be true. The dinner ladies? So how in God's name did they order lunch, use f***ing semaphore? :D

I may be wrong but until I hear otherwise from somewhere reliable this was almost certainly complete and utter bollocks thrown to the press by the agents of disgruntled players. For me this was generated on the back of Di Canio's throwaway comments about him not wanting people to interrupt the player's preparations on match days. Probably the ridiculous assertion that Paolo himself referred to during his interview.
Well said. I completely agree. I think the comment was about things like match day preparation, keeping the players focused, not allowing them to use mobiles on match days or within training sessions which makes complete sense and the only thing it smacks of is 'professionalism'.
 
When players go out on the lash these days there's not many go to your everyday pubs. They go to pubs n clubs that have seperate areas for high earners and celebs and they choose who they let in (usually the young good looking girls n gold diggers) no phones allowed etc just the way it is n trust me I know this...
 
Certain Craig Russell came to & said the players weren't allowed to talk to him and hes a masseur at the club

Maybe thats because PDC had spotted that he was very close to certain players (Bardsley for example), and he was trying to put a bit of professional distance between them?
 
Amazing how the players are so often pissed up during the week, but very few pictures have appeared on Twitter and the like.

Don't doubt that there is a drinking culture at the club, but think The Secret Footballer is totally exaggerating their knowledge of it.
So Hendo (Does Not drink) The Egyptian going to Hull (Does Not Drink) can we name a few more.......???? What ever happened to scouting the background checks on these individuals? I said once and say it again Byrne needs to go......
 
Just thought. If this thread is true this secret footballer will be easy to find in our squad. He's going to stand out like a sore thumb.

straws at clutching and pro pdc agenda at work here..................
Have a read at what you just posted as its fantasy at its finest.......
 
The same crap was spouted about Cloughie in his early years. Deemed to be an unstable, egotistical tyrant and overbearing obsessive who wanted to run every aspect of the club, from the boardroom down to the tea ladies. He wasn't exactly popular. :lol:
or sober ironically
 
Never knew much about this Secret Footballer until i read his book on holiday a month ago. Thought it one of the most hypocritical things Ive read..blasts the mdeia yet is partt of it, says footballers are not drunken fools yet goes on to detail how they would leave hotels in the middle of the night and go on the piss..says fans dont understand yet offers no new insight into the game..
 
Reidys successful teams were the biggest pissheads going, including himself.

Only seems to be an issue when things aren't going well

That article is just sensationalised bollocks tbh. Don't know where to start with it. The lanky ginger bellend needs to give it up

Indeed. Apparently he took to the drink to ease his bitterness over being forced out of the game early. Some former colleagues reckon he had no patience at all with people on the treatment table, often to the point of physically assaulting them. :D[DOUBLEPOST=1396483543][/DOUBLEPOST]
