Aussie Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have spent the last 3 months on the phone to the US getting beaten for the job we're doing in Europe. I just spend a week in California then getting my ass kicked in person too. Hmmm I can't remember last time I was thanked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between heaven and hell Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Do you not get any thanks when you do a good job at work? So you think they need their arses kissed for standing by the pitch before the game do you, what will happen if they ever get on the bloody thing.

I forgot that they shouldn't have to do anything if they're not playing football, sorry again my mistake.

Miah Dennehy Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I totally agree with the OP. All this sucking up to professional footballers makes me sick. For a start, I would ban this cheering after a goal lark, I mean, it's their job FFS, nobody cheers me when I successfully answer/delete the several million emails a day I get. We are beginning to get this problem over at The Mem lately. For several seasons now, we have been doing no cheering whatsoever, but recently there has been clapping ,cheering and yes even smiling going on during matches and it has to stop, it sets a bad example to young men, and before you know it they will all be growing their hair and voting for the Green Party.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I agree with the sentiment, they get paid more than enough without having more smoke blown up their arses for mixing with the common people for 5 minutes, but not the vitriol as I suspect that DL is from a generation where good manners were a measure of 'the man', something sadly lacking these days.

semblar Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Speaking as a dad of somebody who was "capped" this season, I have absolutely no problem with him thanking the players. Matt Smith and Wade Elliott are now heroes to my youngest's big brother (who also got to be there on the day). Yes they're paid oodles compared to most of us (me included, more's the pity) - but the two of them did FAR more than go through the motions for us and it is only common courtesy to thank them for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Did either of them thank the fans?, common courtesy works both ways. I think those two particular players have always been extremely courteous to the fans. I can't say the same for some in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semblar Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Did either of them thank the fans?, common courtesy works both ways. My youngest was a bit overhwelmed, so they were quite gentle with him, squatting down to get to his level... but they spent a few minutes with my older son talking to him about how often he came and remarking how great it was to 'hear you and all the other fans cheering us on'. He's been noticably louder in joining in with songs and chants ever since, and he wasn't exactly quiet about it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say the same for some in the squad. i'm sure they are, my point was it seems to be expected as a given that fans/DL thank players but not the other way. I suppose what i'm saying is a mere "thanks lad's" (without the embellishment about 'sparing the time') is enough IMO, followed up by a players acknowledgement of "it's our privilege", job done.

Many moons ago I paid for my grandson to be a mascot for a home game, the players and staff were fantastic, the organisation was absolutely appalling and money grabbing. My grandson and I never got to have any of the meal (pre match) because they were 30 minutes late in opening up, they never had a kit (that was paid for) that fitted him, it eventually arrived in the middle of the summer some 3 months later, I suggested before it arrived that they compensate him by letting him have the new seasons kit, which they did have in his size and they flatly refused, I was less than impressed.
