Boozing culture

[Barney]

Doesn't seem to be any evidence of drunken antics after games any more.

Just order, discipline, respect for the manager, passion for the club, and winning.

Yet another thing Wilder seems to have sorted.

 

[Linz]

Scougall can't get served.

But in seriousness, I don't think it's a change in culture, more a removal of certain characters from the dressing room.

CW encourages the lads to go out for a drink together as well as going for a bite to eat after training. Bonding he calls it.

 

[Tyler Durden]

He purged the team of some of the most gargantuan tosspots ever to grace our club. I never thought the scale of it would be as big as I wanted it to be but I was pleasantly surprised.

I hope we don't re-sign Evans then!..... he'd call it bondage.

 

[blade too long]

I got absolutely bonded on Sunday night

With respect, that is exactly how you change a culture.

You're obviously not out much after a match.

I'm pissed after every game win, lose or draw regardless of whoever is manager so fucking Wilder hasn't sorted me.

If I had to listen to Nigel Adkins' bullshit day in day out, I'd be getting smashed every night as well.

Agree Linz . It was common knowledge that Che and Sparky were huge bevy merchants and I regularly saw Freeman out with them. His rise in form is no coincidence. Flynn was another one, by all accounts who led a couple astray.

I'd have Flynn down as someone who'd have half then go home.

Hey,it's not bad at Bradford tho...

What? By asking Scougall for I.D when he goes to the bar? It's a bit far fetched but i'm not going to start doubting you for one minute mate.

 

[Esablade]

You should hook up with Wilder on a Sunday afternoon

If life reflects football, Flynn would normally have a half and go home, having approached the bar for another beer but backed out at the last minute. Twice a season, however, he would get smashed.

If it was a pound a pint ;-)

I know one of his drinking buddies and I'm told he's got a real thirst when he puts his mind to it. But not during working hours unlike a famed former manager of ours....

..'boozing culture' is an interesting one.

Re: a football club it often means taking the piss out of the manager and/or not being able to function properly on the pitch/in training.

For a lot of fans it means socialising with friends/family down the pub/at a football match or other occasion.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Guess there are probably a couple of reasons

Wilder has prob been clear about what he expects

Some of the nobs have left th club and taken that element with them.

I expect fans are less likely to bring attention to it when we are 12 unbeaten and in a good run. Rather than getting beat week in eeek out like last year.

It might be about breaking little cliques that negatively affected players. Adams, McGahey and Freeman were known to like a night out together. McNulty and Scougall together. Seperating Scouglal and Freeman from those who had been a bad influence might have helped their game. Scougall was good in his first half season before McNulty arrived remember.

If life reflects football,JCR would have gone round a table approached the bar,stopped gone round the table again,stopped gone round the table again then missed the bar altogether . ..

THen he'd have gone back around, wriggled around a bit more, crawled under to the bar to serve himself, taken his pint the long way round with a few twists through the crowds and just as he was about to sit down with his pint, would drop it all over his mates.

Honourable mention, or should that be horrible, should be made here for Jose baxters leaving the club, he was by all accounts a terrible drinking partner who caused a hell of a lot of unrest.... can't see how that's not helped morale that he's gone.
