The fact players stayed out, got wasted and caused a multi vehicle RTC is a disgrace, not to mention completely undermining the club and the manager. The fact that the club captain was part of that shows what respect he has for Cocu. Richard Keogh should be setting the example for the other players, he should be the first one out the door and into that transport, encouraging the other players to do so. Clearly there is a poor culture at the club and it needs eradicating Have to disagree with some of what you're saying, or seem to be heavily implying, here. If I was on a work night out for team building, which this was, and my boss told me transport is booked for 8, you can have a couple of beers but that’s it, I’d tell him I'm a grown-ass man and will drink as much as I want thank you very much, and I'll make my own way home... safely, in a taxi. The fact players stayed out and got wasted is their prerogative... but the fact that it caused a multi vehicle RTC is a disgrace. I'd add that it's not only disrespectful to the club, the manager, their teammates, and their fans... it's actually disrespectful to any civilian in the area who could easily have been using the road and easily been killed.

Abu Derby Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Surely I’m having a bad dream. This is unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Keogh has at least one young child, not sure if he has had a second yet. What the hell was he doing.... this is so disappointing. Can you imagine the atmosphere in the club right now - absolutely toxic. I assume they have gone into training on Wednesday - it would be awful. I would love to know who the other idiot in the front seat of the car is? I wonder if the club are protecting someone and hoping a name doesn't get out?

But you're not an elite athlete. Over consumption is likely to trash the quality of training the next day. The club is well within its right to expect you to stop at a certain point just for performance reasons, before you even get to the point of smashing a car and your legs up.

Van der MoodHoover Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Just need the unnamed "fourth man" to be our great hope Bogle and that would just about put the tin lid on it all.......... Absolutely dreadful news and with all of the likely disruption caused to training how on earth can Cocu get the rest of them focussed on Saturday. He must be wondering what on earth he did to end up with this shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am Sheep Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Watch this have the opposite predicted effect. We're now going to go on a 20 game winning streak with no goals conceded... ...who the duck am I kidding? ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as we were getting Bielik up to speed in midfield then it looks likely that we may have to revert him back to centre half. You can't condone this anyway but it's just gives the Keogh bashers more ammunition. Richard I'm sorry to say you've been a Dick. Thinking Team America World Police with your last sentence ?

Why was our club captain allowing himself to be driven around by a young player than he must’ve known was over the limit? His judgment may have been impaired by a copious amount of alcohol.

Which was a shot from each of the ten bottles on the top row of the optics in the Student Union bar. If so, I'd say your prediction is quite correct.

Fair enough, but I maintain I don't think it's unreasonable to ask athletes to refrain from excessive boozing in the year 2019 during peak periods of the season. They're paid to physically perform, and too much booze wrecks that - and we know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team without Keogh finishes between 20th-22nd on roughly 45 points. Let's hope I'm wrong. You're wrong, we have other players who will step up,that's not to say he will be missed.Could have done without this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
