Lrrr Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Need the older/senior players to have a private word with them, Walker perhaps for Foden as you get a sense how much playing for England means a lot to him, Rashford perhaps for Greenwood too as an example of how to be a younger player around the set up. Make them realise how lucky they were to be involved, point out how Grealish hasn't had a game for England yet apparently partly because Southgate doesn't trust him as a person to not do something stupid.

Can't see how this is a non-story to be fair, when we're in the midst of a global pandemic. It's this sort of thing that could mean a 2nd wave. It also puts their team mates at risk.

Alex_BCFC Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 It’s pretty obvious that if you are in bio bubble (or whatever they want go call it) that you have to be extra careful. I don’t particularly agree with it but they will know they have to be careful. Pure stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but from Man City you at least get the sense from Walker playing for England is incredibly important to him which is the message that needs to get across.

daored Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Big learning curve for these two, young and naive to think they can invite girls into the team hotel and let them take photos and not become in the public domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I disagree. Walker did it during the height of the pandemic, that's worse than doing it on England duty. We need good role models to take them aside, not a tw*t like Walker.

It's quite possible to separate the 2 issues here: 1) take appropriate actions against Foden and Greenwood for their apparent utter stupidity and disregard for the rules, and 2) come out against the tabloid shits that will do what they can to dig, possibly fabricate, and run, a story. Given the nation, indeed the world, has been living with the pandemic for the best part of a year, passing this off as high jinks from young lads worthy of a bit of a telling off seems ridiculous.

Footballers live in their own world and think normal rules don’t apply to them. In fairness, on this occassion I dont think it's a footballer thing necessarily. There are people their age up and down the country doing exactly this, and were doing so during lockdown. I'm not excusing them because being who they are they should have known better, but I don't think this is a "footballers in their own world" problem, but more an age thing. Very disappointing though, Foden has a girlfriend, a 1 year old and has just made his first start for England. He could have just set himself back years if someone else takes his place and plays well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve got more responsibility compared to most 18-20 year olds. I’m not one for hanging young lads out to dry , especially when I think of the mistakes I made at that age, but it’s a big mistake that I hope doesn’t cost them in the long run .

TonyTonyTony Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 You are away with the lads, and some blonde Scandinavian women are throwing themselves at you.......tempting. Silly boys of course, but it happens. I read that Foden is married so he is right in the shit. As for other elsewhere bashing Southgate - you must be having a laugh. I gave up with England for a good ten years, but now we appear to have our mojo back - largely thanks to Gareth and his leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this a fair summary. I don't want to see them hauled over the coals or their careers massively damaged by this but I do want them to understand that this was a serious error and massively disrespectful to all of those who have put their lives on hold over the pandemic, those working hard to make sporting events go ahead and to Iceland, who have waived the strict rules they have in place for anyone entering the country during COVID in order to allow football to go ahead, on the understanding that players will follow the rules.
