I feel the same, just don’t know what’s going to happen this weekend.

:text-goodpost:
I was at the City – United game. It was shit compared to our game. I spent two hours in hospitality getting up and down to look at Sky sports, or with my guests swearing at the lack of signal on my phone.
I’d only had about 3 pints when I realised we were 2-0 up. Started necking a few then, so I can’t remember the second half of the City-United game either!
Just watched that video.
I soooooo would!
thanks but still fo oked off with working saturday
Could be worse, my work means that on Saturday and Sunday I will be at Wembley watching four teams that I hate!
Apparently we’ll be trying out some new style baggy shorts designed to provide more ballroom.
Took me 5 hours to think of that.
Well, this game is the big one for both teams.
Here’s hoping for wave after wave of attacks from our pierless forwards.Seems like a good effort today and with some results going our way and others not, nothing much has changed.
Assuming (hoping) that Blackpool lose tomorrow, all efforts need to be put into the big one next week. It will be a real roller-coaster ride. Let’s hope we dont play like donkeys and get the three points that will help us towards safety before the sands of time run out.
Think you covered everything there griff[/quote]
Nah, he’s forgotten that our players will stand tall and tower above the opposition, before putting in an illuminating performance.
Can’t agree with much of that.
Not only do they get paid for playing they also get endorsements, sponsorships, appear on TV, in magazines, sticker albums, etc. They are role models whether they like it or not.
No, I don’t swear at football matches. My 13 year old would be shocked and my dad would slap me!
Finally, and I could be wrong, but I think using foul and abusive language may actually be an offence in law not just against the rules of entry to football grounds.
I am not saying that youngsters don’t see them as role models but that they are footballers – that’s what they’re paid to do & nothing else.
If they have endorsements with companies & that company doesn’t like the conduct of that player then their contract is cancelled – that is up to the particular company. Same with the club they play for
They do not claim to be role models, do not tell children to follow their example or neccessarily think they are a good example to follow. If they do somet like Rooney did on Saturday & a child copies them
then it is up to the parent of that child to tell them it is wrong & explain to them why it is.
If the child says “But Rooney did it on Saturday & nothign happened to him” the parent should tell em that they don’t care what Wayne Rooney did or didn’t do, they won’t do it
If a parent holds the likes of Wayne Rooney up as an example of how to conduct themselves then they deserve everythign that they get[/quote]Fully agree on parental responsibility. You can’t delegate that to anyone else, but using your logic there would be no role models. No chooses to be, or gets paid for being, a role model. You get chosen by others as their role model and kids may not be that discerning. So, I maintain that if you benefit from your public image and fame then you carry some responsibility and should be accountable for your behaviours. Just as you argue that parents should hold their children accountable and bring them in line if they misbehave, so we/ the media/ the FA should hold Rooney accountable.
The “they’re a role model” argument reminds me of parents attitudes towards school where the school’s are blamed for making their kids fat coz they serve turkey twizzlers for lunch & when the kids go home for tea they’re given pizza, chips, pies & what not
Likewise when school’s are blamed for kid’s behaviour coz it’s easier to shift the blame than do their own job as a parentCan’t see that schools serving crap up for kids to eat and then parents doing the same at home really serves any argument for ‘role modelling’.
And on yourself swearing. I acknowledge not
everyone does, but plenty do including those around you & I’m guessing that whereas if its gets too much you might say somet to em but that you’ve never reported someone to the stewards/police for it & demand they be ejected & chargedYour original post was that this behaviour wasn’t against the rules of entry to football stadia when clearly it is. And yes I’ve said plenty to others and those who spend 90 minutes moaning at everything too. Never had to report them, but I would if I was so moved. Thing is, my fellow supporters aren’t deemed role models, so if I choose to go to a game I accept it’s part of the experience and the risk my son will experience it. He has heard it all, but knows it’s wrong and knows how he is expected to behave.
He swore into a camera with a mic on it and you could hear him clear as day !! Kids were watching that and regardless of what they may hear in the street or playground daily, they should not be hearing it from a professional footballer who should be setting an example to the kids of today !! :angry-soapbox:
This is one argument that always gets my goat.
Professional footballers, no matter how highly paid they may be, are paid to play football. They are not paid to be any sort of role model to anyone & neither should they be
I hope everyone getting on their soapbox about Rooney’s outburst at the weekend never swears within a football ground when there are kids, women & others about who might be offended by it. That’s as against the rules of entry to a football ground as Rooney’s outburst was against the laws of association football

A deliberate elbow to the face and gets away with it,
Slaps in a transfer request in order to get £200k a week,
Was shocking at the world cup,
Cheats on his wife with owd prossies,
Swears into a camera on tv when kids are watching,
Need I go on?This could become the next ‘never ending thread’ – Wayne Rooney’s character flaws!
Hate him with a passion.
If we accept that our style is to play tipi-tapi out from defence, through midfield, and on up=front with neat passing and movement off the ball….…then why oh why did we water the pitch before kick-off which made everyone slip and slide? I may not know much, but surely we need a fairly dry pitch that we can “zing” the ball about on ?? :shock:
If we want to zing (good choice of word btw) then we deffo need to water the pitch, probably even more than we do already. Slipping and sliding is down to wrong choice of studs.
Spurs were building up quite a bit of pressure when those subs came on. It made a difference and we finished on top.
Negative tactics my a r s e.
Some folk will moan at anything.
Cracking game today. Proper end to end stuff in the second half.
