Although Thackray wasnt in the squad or even involved in the match day hospitality is it too much to ask for a player to wear club dress code on a match day? If he is desperate for a beer then I am sure he could leave straight after the game away from his place of work.

The small things often sum up the professionalism of a club and this certainly sums up where FC are at the moment. UNPROFESSIONAL.

should not have been resigned, bad error by Agar see him regular thacks a dick

Thats the difference between a 'professional' and actual professionalism. Im not saying that players shouldnt have a social life but for me it needs to be controlled. They are paid very well and should make sacrifices in line with that


Agreed andymacca, I'm an athletics coach at a local level and it's a given that all athletes, male or female don't smoke or heavy drink during the entire season - for some it could be year long depending on their event. There is a self dicipline within the athletes and they know that if they want to succeed, they will not do these things. It's a short sporting life and they will have plenty of time to enjoy a good booze up when they have finished. I'm not against a few pints, far from it but if sports people want to be the best then don't cross the line so to speak. Also, at local and national athletics events, all althletes wear their clubs dress it's called pride!

When I competed as an athlete, representing your team was a thing, and supporting the others when you wernt competing was encouraged. Like you say, the small details make all the difference. and the small details show that our players do whatever they want.

Athletes are generally too busy shooting up steroids to go down the pub

Absolute rubbish - there are a few but there are in every sport Hock the other week by the way.
In fact I have never seen a sport which is so clean certainlty where running is concerned and this all happens within the proffessional side of the sport.
Even in amature events there are rigorous policies against the use of drugs and the list is endless right down to certain cough mixtures.
The point I was making is that in athletics there is a definite slant towards a good attitude which includes dress codes and performance,
unlike some Super League players which have been mentioned in other posts. These clubs should take a look at how it should be done.
I'm 51, still train hard, coach and compete and have yet to witness one single drug related incident-and I hope I never do.
