Me too but with modern footballers it wouldn't shock me if it was true so let's see if anymore details come out before making any comments.
The problem with sports men isn't the sports man for me Conan, It's every one wanting to have ago at them.
If your stupid enough with or without alcohol in you to go and wind up a Athlete you deserve the best they can give to you.
I'd venture that an athlete should not be in that kind of situation. But our players have earnt their piss up, of course.
No the player shoved her first, not the other way around! Can you not read anything properly? But he did run out of the way when the men had a go back at him !
I've seen several athletes pissed up giving the big I am and getting put on their arse. That includes ex barnsley players. Footballers tend to be the pick of the lot when it comes to being arseholes after a sniff of the old ale.
tbf, the guy who initiated these tweets has already issued an apology for accusing david fox - who wasn't even in newcastle. pinch of salt required and some facts, before people start castigating players.
Let's hope it is Hemmsy, but please don't be so naive as to think that footballers don't get into scrapes, and please don't suggest it is the man in the street's problem. They are public figures, and as you call them, athletes. If they can't handle themselves they shouldn't be out, particularly in large groups where they draw attention to themselves. I've seen footballers out on the town, behaving like arrogant smart @rses. Team is everything, to the detriment of anything in their path. Jordan Henderson has the right idea. He doesn't drink, because he has been put in the priveleged position of playing top level football. He has the rest of his life to do that. I'm not saying athletes should never drink, but they need to be more responsible. Why do you think fergie used to hate it when the Man u players had their Xmas do? He just knew it meant trouble.
I don't think a lot of footballs Drink especially at the top level. You might not have noticed but they don't longer give Champagne to MOTM. Once heard Ricky Hatton talk about going out for a drink with Joey Barton, said the amount of people trying to wind Joey up was horrible. Said they never tried it on with him.
