Players on the lash... (7 Viewers)

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

Mate works at a club in Bournemouth called Priva. Said to me before the game all the Cov players were due to come down there last night. They racked up a £3500 bar bill, with 4 bottles of Dom Perignon and 10 bottles of Grey Goose vodka. Found a couple of photos, one of David Bell, and one who I think is Rich Keogh.

I know obviously they have a life as well, clearly unrealistic to expect them to stay in with a cup of cocoa and be in bed by 10. But just makes you wonder, the fact that this night out was arranged before the game maybe distracted some of them?

Just a thought.

I have seen them totally pissed throwing their money around in Mills's in Earlsdon.

it is really disappointing seeing this a night before a game.
They have all the rest of the week to do this.

That would be bad but I think the OP was talking about Saturday night.

 

[charlievictor]

I live in Earlsdon and I've never seen one City player in there.

 

[TheParsonsHose]

Voodoo and the Juke in Leamington is normally where you will find them

 

[Covstu]

They look like there pissed on the pitch!!

Atleast we know why Keogh would ever sign a new contract, being off his face.

You've got a point there - perhaps our DOF should have been there waiting for Juke, Clingan and Cranie with new contracts - wait until they are a bit worse for wear then get them to sign.

young people in going out for a night shocker.

back in the 80's always used to see the players out, just a bit more flash now

 

[torchomatic]

My dad always goes on about the early 50s where he reckons the players used to go on the bus to the game and then pop into the pub until just before kick-off.

Tommy Hutch would be seen in the Broomfield in Spon End before the match and still turn the full back inside out all afternoon.
Apparently John Sillett had a "no drinking" ban on friday nights before match days but this was allegedly waved for David Speedie because he said a couple of beers helped him to sleep!
Who gives a shit what the players do after games as long as they don't get into any trouble-they are young lads ffs.
Yes let them get a bollocking after the match, and they deserve it, but if any of us have a bad day at work do we go home and sulk or do you get on with your life?
If we had taken three points at Portsmouth on Saturday and this story had come out then everybody would be saying fair play.

They didn't get 3 points they got none again.

 

[Macca]

I am the biggest critic of players, manager and owners but this is a bit of a non event for me

 

[ccfcway]

they dont give a sh1t, and why should they

If I worked for a place which it was obvious needed investment, be it on the pitch for them, or a desk or leaking pipe for me, I wouldnt be too happy

fact remains they will all be gone in next few years and we will still be here..

 

[sparky]

you sure they weren't getting pissed up in a barn cuz that bird with david bell looks like a horse

 

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

She does, but, I wasted a tenner on her in the Grand National

 

[LeamingtonBootBoy]

She may be a horse, but I bet that twat Bell still couldn't beat her and get in a good cross....Knobend.

 

[Disorganised1]

I've been out on the lash with the City players on a Friday night, next day I nearly missed the kick-off I felt that rough, but Colin Stein who'd been with me in Nello's scored a hat-trick.

 

[TheParsonsHose]

Perhaps they should try drinking before games then! On a serious note the game is all about fitness and I would expect payers of old who did this to have a shocker if up against a player of today.

There may be some exceptions (Gazza always told stories of drinking before games).

We get too easily pissed off with stuff like this because of the flashness and the fact that we are somehow paying for this.

 

[speedie87]

thats' craig kieswetter the england cricketer with keogh

 

[torchomatic]

Players having a drink. I'm shocked.

 

[TheTruthMissPiggy]

I think it's good that they're having a laugh and getting on. Surely the point of being in a team. It was a better era of football when players boozed it up together. I'd rather be 2nd Div and have a good team that got on rather than a top Prem team who are totally professional and treat the football like a business.
Let's get football tribal again, I mean it is just a load of blokes chasing a ball around a field

over the years the biggest shock used to be not bumping into Killer whenever I went out in town.

 

[skybluejelly]

well one things for sure, they are not spending any win bonuses

 

[Glenn Storer]

Atleast we know why Keogh would ever sign a new contract, being off his face.

Keogh's been player of the season again this year, if he's doing that pissed then I'm running him down the Sporting Chance, imagine him sober....

 

[procdoc]

So what if they have a drink? This non story is up there with the Brighton pizza scandal

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

thats' craig kieswetter the england cricketer with keogh

Good spot! I guess it's a West Country bond they have?

 

[ICHAN]

This has and always will happen no matter who the players are just do not see the shock in it. Used to always see the players on the lash on a saturday in the 80's.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Whilst I'm not exactly outraged, something tells me that the Arsenal players don't do this :thinking about:

 

[PVA]

I don't think that is Kiewswetter? Looks similar but i don't think its him!

I may be wrong though.

 

[stupot07]

Whilst I'm not exactly outraged, something tells me that the Arsenal players don't do this :thinking about:

That's because they are mostly foreign and haven't been brought up in the binge drinking society of the UK.

I'm pretty sure that Wenger got Adams, Keown, Bould, Dixon and Winterburn on the waggon darn sharpish! If you read the views of any Arsenal player at the time, they say it was a huge culture shock-but that it prolonged their careers. Wenger is credited with introducing a new level of profesionalism to English football. I get the strong impression that obviously didn't filter down to The Championship, or at least not our scuzzy little corner of it...

There are plenty of current England international that like a drink so it's not just the championship.

 

[singers_pore]

I think the biggest disappointment in all this is the standard of bird that the player is copping off with. Kin'ell - did you see the hooter on that one standing with Bell?

I guess this just goes to show the difference between what a Prem star can pull versus the dregs mustered up by our shower of shite.
