Foden video

The one thing I would say about all this and not being passing judgtment.

The club needs to make sure Phil has good people around him going forward, I do worry sometimes that their is an element to his personal life that is not positive. .
You want the club to adopt him;-)
 
Poor quality video but it looks a shit area for what looks like a VIP room. It should be cordoned off and you have to show your ticket to be anywhere near it. I doubt those scumbags hitting his mother could afford it but who knows these days? I feel sorry for our young lads, they want to relax on their night off and knock about with their mates but they can't as knobheads like this are out to goad them then sell videos to the tabloids
You get plenty of wannabe gangster types in the VIP areas at the boxing. Some have paid for their tickets and others jib it, if there are seats to be had
 
Seems Phil hasn't done anything wrong, I do remember Tolmie though on the Greenwood thread saying the company he has around him isn't doing him any favours.
 
Nobody should be blamed for standing up for their mum in a physical situation. To be honest I'd find it kind of troubling if she got smacked and he didn't lose his cool. Even if she had been in the wrong, I'd want one of our players to side with his mum in this situation.

Equally I'm not going to blame her for losing her temper and shoving the guy as I think that's a very human reaction to hearing your son getting verbally abused. But it definitely would have been better for Phil if she'd turned the other cheek and avoided this whole controversy.

I don't think either should get criticised for what amounts to sticking up for your mum/son really.

Side note, it's really interesting that Harvey Elliot's mum is a massive racist and nobody gives a shit but this is treated like a big issue.
 
Both Foden and his family are obviously naive , they have no security and rise to the gobshites antagonising them . The club need to get a grip .
 
I’ve got no idea what I’ve just watched there. Thought I was in the Phil Foden thread.
Me neither, couldn't make anything out other than a woman shouting at a few males then them all having fisticuffs. Was Foden in there?
 
They’re human beings who need social interaction. Can’t hide away because there’s a risk some idiot will do their best to provoke a reaction.

last night looked naive. Compare that narrow corridor with no security with the way stones Grealish and the coaches walked in to the venue. (Separate point - can’t believe the comments on here citing Grealish is a negative influence).

we don’t know what was said before Foden walked into the box, but I’m guessing he was putting up with a lot in a narrow corridor. He did well to keep on walking away from those scumbags calling him a “fag…, cu…” etc. His family are obviously very protective - he’s still only 21, still a child in many ways. They shouldn’t have reacted, but it happens, it’s intimidating. Thank god whichever family member who seriously wound up didn’t connect with that extinguisher.

The state of life in the UK atm. Thick bastards - like the ones who jumped on Chris whitty - thinking it’s fair game to do that and then publish it on social media.

I think naive is the best word to describe the actions of Foden’s camp here.

With hindsight they should have laughed off the abuse and shut the door. However, most people will react when they are being verbally abused and intimidated.

There was a time when if you abused someone and got a crack as a result it was deserved. Nowadays it seems like those who dish out the initial abuse become the victims. It’s like it’s socially acceptable to verbally abuse people.
 
if someone came up to your child and called them a **** for no other reason than they are pissed and wanted to make a name for themselves would you turn the other cheek? say that to my daughters and you would get a slap ,the cheeky cunts,
i hope their names get released and they get a proper talking to, they deserve it the shithouses
 
Ignoring the vid is probly 2 years old, loud mouthed bellends taunt a City player whose mum reacts and we spend 20 odd pages slagging him and his family off.

Righhhht
