Phil Foden to leave England camp

"To be wise you must be first young and stupid".

There must be a lot of dummies on here because apparently they were never young and stupid.

 

[yeseye]

Young dumb and full of cum!

Spitty & Neville being far more diplomatic & understanding than a fair few on ere.....In their opinion they are “Just kids” after tonight’s game a line should be drawn, even the press are letting it go

This might not be a bad thing in the long run. If he’s going to make a mistake, doing it as early as possible in his career is the best time to make it as long as he learns and acts from it.

Better this than he does things like this a few times and gets away with it and so thinks it’s acceptable, which I’m sure has happened to plenty of other footballers...

Why is it not comparable.

A 20yo joiner trying to get his leg over is not the same as a 20yo international footballer sneaking a bird back into the team hotel.

How can you and the other defenders not understand this one very very simple point?

It isn't like he has pulled after a City game and has the next day off from training etc.

Trying to sneak a bird back into the team hotel was frowned upon back in the 70's it is utterly stupid that they actually thought they could get away with it in 2020, and that isn't even including the COVID element in this.

Just mental, as a footballer making his England debut you would think that that was all he would have on his mind and the upcoming game but not so it would seem.

Yes, I understand it was an error of judgement but as a guy who is meant to live and breathe football, it was a very odd moment to show a lack of good judgement, on your first full international trip abroad.

Should we sneak these birds back in Phil, Southgate won't have a fucking clue,

er best, not Greenie lad.

That doesn't make a difference to them.

They moved on cos Sterling got his game together and he stopped partying or whatever they accused him of.

Oh, I thought they moved on from Sterling after the Chelsea fan abused him live on the TV and then people started suggesting they were no better themselves with their reporting about him.

I thought it had precious little to do with his football tbh

I don't think anyone on here is saying he showed good judgement or what he did was 'right', just that it's pretty standard for a 20 yr old. I'm not sure why some folk think being extremely fit and kicking a ball incredibly accurately somehow gives you more common sense than anyone else your age?

Being an international sportsman, it comes with the territory that you are a public figure and always in the public eye. I'm sure with his time at the club, behaviours will have been frequently discussed with him.

Couple of things here
Why on earth did the management pair them together in the room?. Beyond stupid.
Also it's high time social media with players is banned and phones confiscated around game days.
What on earth where they thinking?
Pep should send Foden out to Grimsby for a month on loan as punishment.
Unbelievable.

 

[waspish]

Weird how much this as annoyed me but it smells like a set up by the scum media.

That’s no excuse though for them.
