Match Day Thread Hull City v Middlesbrough

I'd be very surprised if he doesn't play.

Think if he hadn't done that though the crowd reaction to him being selected would have been a bit uncomfortable though, which wouldn't have been ideal, for the lad as much as anyone else.

 

Already seen a few saying his lack of expression is why people can’t warm to him like he was going to be over the moon to be getting dragged out like a kid with his teacher meeting the parents.

 

I wouldn't call that a lack of expression. Unless 'rabbit in the headlights' isn't an expression.

 

It's cleared up the fact that the lad wasn't liking a Portsmouth win but liking the fact that his mate had scored. There's a big difference. It was ill timed and thoughtless - it would have been better to congratulate him privately on text or WhatsApp but what the public response does is to put it to bed. Apology issued. He acknowledges it was inappropriate but it removes anything sinister which might be in people's minds.

Well handled. Problem solved. Move on.

 

100% agree on every point there.
Well played Reuben, I’m loving what I’ve seen from him so far. He’s a class act
We just need to get to that mid table security now

 

I agree, it does highlight what we already know that most modern players don’t really give a **** . That defeat should be hurting minutes after the match and you shouldn’t even be wanting to text your mum happy birthday ,Never mind congratulate a mate . But most simply do not give a **** whether we / they , win or lose .

 

As much as us as fans hate it

Most players dont give much of a **** after the game

 

A fair few don't give a **** before either unfortunately.

 

Its literally a job to most of them
Fans would be shocked

 

I completely get its a job , and I’m not one of those who think they shouldn’t have a social life .. but I would like to think an Injury time defeat would bother them for an hour or two at least .

 

Win lose draw, they're all still paid. The desire and personal pride just isn't there anymore in football ( arguably life in general for a fair few ) bar a small number.

 

Hes not checked his phone for hours by then
What you expect
Just the reality ha

 

It should ****ing hurt until they put it right in the next game, but it just doesn't even register for majority, as proved by Abu

 

How long after the game did he post it??

 

That’s another thing, if I was a young footballer with thousands in the bank, be too busy shagging for social media… games gone

 

Looking at the timings he'll most probably still be in the changing room when he did it

 

To be fair I don’t know, just a general thing though isn’t it, most of them don’t care and the older I get I wonder why we put so much hope and so much of our time and money into these people really , it’s an almost an illness

 

the girls dm them on insta and vice versa

 

Fair play to our manager and Abu and the club. Excellent way to deal with it and move on. Let’s hope he scores and does a celebration akin to Bullard.

There will be some bed wetters who have a good moan.

 

OK first of all this was a recovery operation. It's so typical of the youf of today, in short ****ing stupid with more balls than brain cells. The credit should go to someone in the club I hope it was Selles who saw what was going on and worked out how to bring it to an end.
