Player of season awards dinner/Egan's song

[Rodley]

I don’t get the adulation for employees getting hammered in public. They are on duty at a club end of year award and to turn up for it incapable through drink would in any other walk of life lead to disciplinary action. Firstly winning the championship, as opposed to being runners up, has a healthy financial premium. Being in that state , when not regular drinkers, is not going to help that. Secondly you have a Saudi prince part owner to whom that sort of behavior is massively disrespectful. Thirdly the club wants to be viewed as inclusive to all. To default to getting shitfaced to celebrate success flies in the face of inclusivity for women , kids, various religions and anyone who can enjoy something without getting hammered. It gives succour to, and reinforces, the sort of macho boorish behavior seen around grounds on a match day and is a really poor example. Now before anyone tells me to jog on i’ve Got no problem with them getting drunk but it should have been at the end of the season and out of the public eye. Rather than a PR success I see it as something they might regret in the cold light of day

Players celebrating and joining in with the fans. It’s magnificent. Couldn’t give a toss about the Prince.

JOG ON

I’ll be less polite. Fuck off.

Firstly - if you think this was celebrating wait until the guys go away on their trip!

Secondly, this is how you generate a spirit of working class warriors going to war together, rather than the spirit of posh public school boys going to play rugger.

Wilder knows who we are as a club and as a City and thankfully he has reminded all of us.

As for non-inclusiveness, you’re making stuff up that you know nothing about - this club is a real family and community club with loads of women and kids a vital part of the Blades family. The time to criticise is when you hear of any complaints.

Get back to your own forum, if you want to celebrate by whinging. In the words of the great John Egan:-

Allez, Allez, Allez

I bet you're fun at parties

Miserable cunt

 

[Swannyblade]

You do know Egan is foreign right? You don’t need to be from overseas to be a mercenary...there’s plenty of overpaid, pampered English players who don’t have the character our team have got.
It doesn’t matter what passport they hold, we’ll take anyone as long as the attitude is right and they buy into the Wilder ethos...love it!

Didn't know you'd won the Championship so fuck off and come back when you have.

I don’t know about the demographic of your board. What I do know is that all responses to my post have been anti it or abusive. That drunken behavior by the players in public is condoned encourages /engenders a similar culture on here and, by extension throughout the club. There will be plenty of people who agree with me but the macho culture out there discourages them from giving their opinion through fear of abuse. That’s not my definition of inclusivity. Shame really given the great season you’ve had that they couldn’t wait a week and let off steam out of the public eye. BTW it would be great if both teams could stay up next year it rarely happens though.

 

[flashinblade1889]

Next you’ll be telling me the entertainment was Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson followed by strippers, scampi in a basket served with blue nun was enjoyed by all and everyone drove home. Oh and btw best remove the asbestos from the ceiling apparently it might pose a health risk.

You ok hun???

You are getting abuse because you have come on our board to slag off our players for exuberantly celebrating promotion to the Premier League.
Not to congratulate us on a magnificent achievement given where we were and what the budget is compared to clubs finishing below us.
No - your first thought is to come on here and make snide, moralising comments about the nature of the celebration.
You just make yourself look sad and mealy mouthed.

Hope that explanation satisfies - now fuck off to celebrate your own success, or get back to posting holier than thou shite on Mumsnet.

Let's all join the Norwich forums and call your team a set of boring arseholes for celebrating with liberally sprayed Evian wrapped up some bizarre plea for inclusivity that somehow manages to be massively sexist - see what response we get.

If this isn’t a wind up post then you need psychiatric help.
I’m not an expert but start with a good long shit and put your soul into it and have a good clearout.
Secondly,open up to a friend tell them about your troubled childhood and the exclusions,the physical and mental abuse you’ve suffered and
the anxiety with you’re sexuality you’ve had to endure.
The self loathing you feel can be replaced with love but your journey needs to start here.
Be happy.
UTB.

Part of me thinks they maybe should have waited a week or Stearman shouldn't have had that 18th pint as there is a possibility of winning the league....but then a bigger part of me thinks enjoy every minute of it lads you've more than earnt it and it won't effect the Stoke performance as the performances got better towards the end of league one when the club as a whole was constantly pissed! Just nobody get arrested please.

It surely is and a very impressive one too, a way above average WUM, fair play to Tyler/Bash/Greggy.

I always preferred this version though....

 

[nopigfansintown]

Are you suggesting that women don't get shitfaced?

And would you like me to present evidence to the contrary?

Just a bit of casual sexism from him there Linz. Enough for a ban?...
Norwich taking the piss out of United for celebrating our promotion because they didn't celebrate their own is hilarious. A strange kind of jealousy; the socially inadequate sort. I bet they're having a tea party today,with a meal of organic veg (carrots) and mineral water afterwards.

I think you've got that 180º wrong - rugby union teams have always got boozed up at every opportunity ..... I know a few ex-public schoolboys, they're far worse than our lot!

Turnips.

A turnip gazpacho, followed by roast turnip with turnip sides, turnip crumble and a plate of matured turnip cheeses and mints (turnip flavoured).

All washed down with an '18 Chateau Lowestoft fine turnip wine.

They know how to celebrate, them lads!
