Phil and Jack on the lash?

Not sure he’s saying that.

Pep was doing his job. As a boss, sometimes you have to discipline your staff if they haven’t adhered to the rules.

This is probably deemed as a minor misdemeanour and dealt with internally with a public admonishment, 90 mins on the bench and potential fining.

There probably is a rule about the arrival condition of a player to training. This is probably the rule that they broke.

Not seen much personal abuse from him, barring his reaction to one of the most condescending posts on the thread.

Here’s an example for you.

I used to work for 7-Eleven. Good company to work for even though wages were at the lower end of the spectrum to equivalent jobs, that not unusual in retail.

They have a dress code. Black or blue pants, no leggings and without logos.

They supplied the shirts, fleece coats, gloves and padded coats if needed

They even paid a stipend each pay check as you were doing the laundry of your work clothing.

Really fair Eh?

2 members of the team continually ignored the condition regarding black/blue trousers.

lne of them turned up in bright green leggings and the other always had adidas jogging pants on.

I would have a quiet word with them to say this is not acceptable.

Following shifts, same thing.

So gave them both an EDJ (Employee Discussion Journal} to say these things have been discussed.

Neither were happy, one claiming “I’m not getting write up for this”

Explained that it wasn’t a written warning, that it was an acknowledgment of our conversation.

The one in the bright pants quit as they felt it was “an abuse of her right to express herself”

the other went to Walmart, bought a couple of pairs of black jeans.

Madness. It’s the “beat the system” attitude that a lot in the U.K. seem to have.

Not sure it’s similar to the Foden and Grealish situation though.

That’d be more like them travelling to CL games in Hugo Boss gear when they‘re required to wear Dsquared2 clobber.

good read that
 
2 young men go on the piss midweek and get a bollocking for being hungover at work the next day. Pep did his job as their boss and so not complaints

We have all done it, nothing story.

All the sad fucks on social media having a pop need to get a life, especially the ones crying about his new haircut.

Well they did it and their employers disciplined them for it, so all dealt with, beyond that it ain't no one elses business to slag them off.

Yes we pay to see them and so can feel agrieved but as long as the club have done theor job of repremanding them where necessary, the public slagging off of them for basically being normal young adults is petty in my opinion.


Anyway it's christmas, who cares time to open the sherry

Merry christmas

Indeed. I highly doubt you’d see Adam Peaty, Novak Djokovic, or Tadej Pogačar on the piss during their seasons.
 
Be interesting to see if they put everything into today's game in an attempt to prove something.
 
My kids do not infringe the school uniform code. If they do, they’re in trouble from their parents. Not because I want them to conform, to not express themselves, or not to have their own opinions… but because teachers have a hard enough time teaching, without their time being wasted on knuckle-head stuff like addressing uniform-code infractions. Time dealing with that is time not being spent teaching.

Ditto, Pep - to a factor of fifty - with these kids, combined aged nearly 50, and on wages that would make the eyes of the club‘s medical and fitness staff boggle. Pep’s the elite manager of the best team in the world in the most expensive football league in the world, in a tight race with other top teams, with every Covid-test on his players every day likely to blow his plans off course, a senior player in jail he can’t replace or get off the payroll yet, and Mahrez off to AFCON. And then this shit lands in his intray. If I were Pep I couldn’t even look at them.
