When City play these boys will frequently be training and playing, it is part of the sacrifice, the commitment to a childhood that is exceptional due to the demands they will face. Lads at the academy are fans, but they cannot be fans in the manner supporters support the club because their motivation is to be a professional footballer. Its a silly and loaded question. To answer it the player would have to fail. I think you're giving me more credit than I deserve by labelling it a loaded question tbqhwy I was merely putting a musing out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point in the first place was completely hypothetical anyway yet you continue on.

What more can people really ask for? Madness that he’s worth £10m or its seen as shitting on the fans. Doesn’t matter a jot to buying clubs that he’s local or that he’s a clever lad from QEH or that his dad had his hands in LJs Dad. I’d say take £4m as a solid fee and bring through Lloyd Kelly who actually has more than a passing interest in the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The executive boxes may have helped but wandering around the concourse bumping into patients, being seen shouting, and jumping up and down when a goal goes in etc? Very rare/unlikely imo. For whatever reason - mostly to do with maintaining the revered position they hold in the community imo. - many GP's would not see being a passionate match attending football fan as being compatible with their job. The same would apply to quite a few other professions. Mine would be ok Their different (Locums) every time so no chance anyone would ever recognise them The ‘permanent’ GPS are women who appear to have rotated maternity leave for about the last 12 years So all’s good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some more dedicated individuals in my profession probably don't view Tuesday afternoons as optional, depending on whether we have a game, and show a willingness to work weekends that I sadly lack.

Things have changed but there are other sports a Jr. Doc could still pursue whilst still carrying out his medical duties. Saw him a couple of times through injuries....the last time he told me I had no cartilage left in my left knee!! 1 hour ago, Robbored said: And JPR Williams is another doctor - but as you say things have changed.

I find the notion bizarre that there would be anything other than an absolutely tiny minority, in any professional field, who felt that enjoying the recreational activity of spectator sport is somehow ‘inappropriate’. Regards GPs specifically, if any of his or her patients feel that supporting a football team is somehow inappropriate to life in the medical profession, then it’s a rather sad reflection on themselves and their own prejudices, rather than any reflection on the GP.

downendcity Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 2 hours ago, Robbored said: I'd be very disappointed if JB went for less that £8m. In today's market you don't get much for around £5m. Average players go for that kind of money and Bryan is about average imv. The closer we get to the window closing, the more it becomes a buyers market, and especially when the player has 1 year remaining on his contract. Whatever we are offered now, will be a lot more than we could expect next January, so if Derby is the only team interested now, our options are diminishing by the day. I think the club will try and ensure that no player leaves for nothing at the end of a contract, so would suspect us to get the best deal we can this summer - if that's £4m, then that is what Joe is worth now. A year ago if anyone had said that Joe and Bobby would both go this summer, both with 1 year left on their contract and that one would go for £10m , the other for less than half of that, would anyone have then said that Joe would be the cheaper of the two?

As I’ve already said I know of a doctor that attends public sporting events in Bristol and works in the City also. Growing up I had reason to attend the local hospital on a fairly regular basis and one of the consultants I’d see I would also see regularly at Somerset cricket games. This misnomer that medical professionals cannot attend public sporting occasions is just completely not true I’m afraid. And it would be a very very sad world if that were the case. What’s a patient going to say? ‘How dare you be involved in society?! How dare you enjoy sport!?’ No. Of course they are not. They are as entitled to attend anything they want same as we all are!

'Orns Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Is being a Doctor any different to any of us, whatever role you play in life to feed and cloth your family? I could be interviewing someone on the Friday and randomly bump into them on a Saturday down the Gate, or doing some kind of deal and bump into a potential / old supplier - what difference does it make? I find it odd that a Doctor would feel uncomfortable seeing a patient outside of 'work' during his or her own leisuretime? Coming from a small(ish) village we used to bump into our local docs all the time when we were kids. Does the same apply to dentists?
