Phil Foden to leave England camp

[Nebuchadnezzar]

It's amazing how quickly we can turn on our own. He's been stupid and needs the equivalent of a bollocking and a clip round the ear. No character assassinations needed.

Yeah they are, thats exactly how it works.

Queen's Guards jailed for 'breaking Covid rules with party near Windsor Castle'

EXCLUSIVE: There is anger within the lower ranks at the 'harshness' of the sentences handed to Sixteen Welsh Guardsmen, all serving in 1st Battalion, The Welsh Guards which is guarding the Queen, but MoD sources say they could have put other comrades at risk of spreading the virus

14 days glasshouse is nothing to a serving soldier, the worrying part of that piece was that 4 of them tested positive for cocaine.

Should probably ask the lads in the armed forces then, I've fucked up many times, as have 90% of lads at 20 year old

We certainly did ; )
But he has been coached and taught the pitfalls that come being a roll model for hundreds of thousands .
We didn't have the opportunity he has had with his gifts it's a totally different and privileged life he lives .
Let's face it though he has probably the same amount of brain cells as the average squadie and a lot more money we all think we are clever and invincible at his age.
Still acted like a tit

He’s been a dick, been found out and is paying the price.

He’ll get a two week fine from the club and that will be that.

If he wasn’t such a good player he’d be moved on by the club but he is so he’ll make a grovelling apology written by a PR consultant and that will be the end of it.

This. It’s mad that some are defending him. He’s a cheat and a flagrant flouter of the covid guidelines. What is there to defend?

Then what’s also mad is that some are questioning why people feel so let down by it. He is the poster boy of our academy, the player we all relate to the most. Or thought we did. To discover that he’s a bellend is genuinely gutting. I feel deflated by it, I don’t think that’s an unusual reaction to this.

So you're done with him now? He's a 'bellend' until the day he's hangs his boots up. People aren't defending the mistake, or whatever you want to call it, they're defending this idea that he's now a **** or a bellend forever cause he's made a mistake.

This thread is pure voyeurism. It's like when Princess Di died and all those twats laid wreaths at Buckingham Palace - the same twats that had hungrily devoured every detail of her life provided by the papparazzi for the previous 10 years. It's titillation of the masses through gossip and an opportunity for the self-righteous to signal their own moral virtue on here. We pay him to run around and kick a ball to a world class standard. If you want moral virtue try Jesus, and I mean the one in the bible, not the No9 shirt.

Agreed mate

 

[CC1]

I sincerely hope we are not witnessing the start of a Michael Johnson/ Stephen Ireland debacle

theyve been done over by a pair of slappers worlds full of them. But they are idiots to allow such women to do them over like this

agree totally.

Hardly all over the pages of the press. Look at how the army treats it as well. Those lads have spent time in jail, 4 lost their jobs for cocaine and their careers probably effected for life. But yes, good on you lads for being lads. Foden will be back playing fo City in no time and all we can ask for is he learns from it and gets his head down and sorts out any shit at home.

For me the disapointment is how it effects City. More crap for Pep to deal with, more shit for the clubs image, bad preperation for the new season which for me is one of our most critical in recent years and more than anything, the lad who i thought was going to be our shining star this season has just put a major doubt over that.

It does seem a strange way for the FA to do it if they wanted to be in a fully secured isolation bubble. But that's no excuse; the players should be professional enough not to actively break whatever rules have been put in place.

Do you think it might be a sting maybe?
