you are arguing. you are getting defensive.why?

its like when i mentioned how ccfc could learn from wasps in terms of entertaining kids. and Nick comes out with "ccfc put on a little table with felt tip pens!"

weird. noones having a go at ccfc(not me anyway) , im just saying i think more can be done based on what ive read.

No, I usually point out you don't really know what CCFC do.

If the players have put in £200 each to give to the local hospitalised kids then fair play to them.

I'm not getting defensive. Players turned up with hospital with present for the kids. Nothing negative, nothing that needs arguing about. But it seems that's not good enough for some. One says not enough turned up and you go into how much a DVD player costs. Doesn't need to be analysed.

why not? you don't want improvement? its a good thing for sure, inf act i said it was great earlier. just saying it could and should have been even greater for the kids and hospital.

if you were hit by a car and police turned up but not ambulance would you say hey im just happy with what i got lol

Shit and completely unrelated analogy.

I wonder if the kids in the hospital were saying how they wanted more?

The kids will probably get a selection box each on Thursday at the party, maybe we can ask for ipods because they are footballers?

But WHY should it have been more? As I said earlier, what is the benchmark for genuine, caring hospital visits for a football club.

You second sentence is just ridiculous and nothing to do with the thread.

we should always strive to improve and give more to the needy. that goes for me and you not just footballers. but this thread is about footballers.

So if the players have chipped in to buy the kids at the party a selection box again, should we tell them it's not enough?

entirley up2u

i am sure they can do better than selection box though and i would hope they would.

at no point have i said people should complain to club or players. ive just said i think they can do more

you have got all defensive and gone into keyboard warrior mode for some reason.

And if ten had turned up with free tablets, would you be saying it should have been 15 with free ipads? Arguing for the sake of it. I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Players visited kids with presents they paid for themselves. There is NOTHING to be negative about. You and CCFC92 can moan about it to yourselves.

You say they should improve but you have ZERO idea what they do. If you do know what they do/don't do then enlighten us.

I'll see you both at the JSB Party on Thursday.

Because the players are kids heroes. What if Jones (for example, don't get pedantic) is a certain kids favourite player, and he didn't get a chance to see his/her hero because only 3 of the squad could be arsed to turn up?

Just to be clear ( I know how pedantic you are), I'm sure the kids that did receive a visit were delighted with the surprise. But naturally if their favourite players weren't there, there would be an element of some disappointment.

Surely even you can understand that, I've tried to put it as simply as I can?

I don't believe personally, the gifts are in question.

It's the lack of players turning up, that's the main issue IMO. Surely you can agree or see where I'm coming from?

What if they didn't support CCFC? Man Utd wankers for not sending Zlatan?

Again, how do you know they "couldn't be arsed"? Where did you get that fact from?

How is it defensive or keyboard warrior mode?

A selection box is just fine, couldn't give a shit what they earn to be honest.

Why weren't more there then? You seem to know?

No, you've said they can't be "arsed" or were shopping for jeans, I've not given any reason.

exactly. both sides of it(no improvements needed vs improvements benefit kids) have no idea what the players do week in week out unless advertised. so silly for one to use the argument of do you know what they do vs the other side.

i cant believe this thread has turned into an argument i must say. kinda sad.

Only you could come up with that response, well done.

Why? Their favourite player wouldn't be there?

It's embarrassing, you start a thread a week after it happened to have digs and your man comes in with his 6 year old spelling to say the presents aren't good enough. He even brought up the £200 per player, which is actually not bad for a donation and the others delivering them to the kids.

Unfortunately, I can :(

Take one part of a post, then run with it like a bull wearing blinkers. They've strayed off the original points made, and are now talking about Man U and Zlatan.

nick please stop flamebaiting or i will report you.

this is a thread about charity are you are making it about yourself.

200 per player is pathetic. if you think its alot for someone on 2k a week i dread to think what donations you make yourself!

charity starts at home i suppose?

clearly on any given week you donate more than 10% of your wage to charity. Fair play to you

thank you. bench mark is 15% though. and when spend on a gambling accumulater or a video game etc it shows how its simply not enough if you think about it.

always strive to improve people!

My main points Nick. The bold is a direct question to you and Torch.

In which case you will be more than happy to know most of our players earn less than £2k a week, meaning they are likely to be reaching the benchmark, well done them !

Yes, you said only 3 of the squad could be arsed. Which means the others couldn't? That is what i was replying to.

I replied about other players because their heroes may have not been Burge or Willis, they may not have even been city fans.
