That's not an apology.

I don't see any use of words like sorry, apologise or remorse.
It's just a statement about what behaviour is expected from a professional footballer.

Re: Connor Wickham

It's no laughing matter ,well our performance was , perhaps he was watching a reply of the game whilst inhaling , its sort of understanding

Re: Connor Wickham

That's not an apology, that's an I've been caught what can i say to make me look better post.

He's an idiot. Let's hope while he's still here he learns his lesson...

He should be a role model for younger players and kids watching the game, loads of people do things they shouldn't, I've done plenty, but you don't get caught, or boast about it :thumbup:

Re: Connor Wickham

Whippets: It lasts about 30 seconds and has no effect on you the next day. It's not like he stayed up until 6am blowing lines. The most worrying this is he was probably on the piss too. Still, as long as he turns up on Monday bright eyed and bushy tailed I have no problem with it except for the social media part. That's poor decision making.

Re: Connor Wickham

Would I have done something like that if it was around when I was young? Maybe, I was never much of a spirits drinker, but I can imagine me giving it a go in my late teens or early twenties, pretty sure I wouldn’t have bothered when I was twenty nine or thirty though.

Being a tea total old fogey who only goes to pubs to eat these days, I had to look up what a balloon was and I saw stories about students and youngsters who were into it, I saw nothing about people of Wickham’s age using them. Maybe I’m jumping to a wrong conclusion here, but the fact Wickham, at his age and in his profession, was prepared be photographed using a balloon is suggestive of a certain kind of lifestyle.

When Wickham’s career is judged, he gets a lot of deserved sympathy regarding the injuries he has suffered, but maybe there are other reasons why he hasn’t hit the heights he seemed capable of reaching as a kid at Ipswich?

Re: Connor Wickham

There was a programme on Kavos a while back. Balloon use seemed the norm. Street was littered with them.

Re: Connor Wickham

Messing with balloons? Inhaling nitrous oxide? Is that illegal?

It was recently announced possession of Nitrous Oxide will become a criminal offence, not sure if it extended to inhaling.

It has been here for a few years, go to any car park and its always littered with NOS canisters

I bet most of the single players were out on the Lash, its all fine lines ( no pun intended ) think in the past both Sterling and Grealish have been seen doing NOS

Re: Connor Wickham

It’s in the same ball park for me - Charlie, Skunk, Glue, magic mush, petrol, tippex…you don’t want your new signed striker anywhere near that shit.

What if he makes loads of spelling mistakes?

Re: Connor Wickham

We are in a relegation battle

We lost , again , to our rivals

He's lucky to be playing but we have given him the chance

Yet he gets off his face and posts it on social media

He should be ashamed of himself . He's an athlete for God's sake .

We need bodies for the battle but not if he's partying . Plenty of time to do that in May .

Shape up , perform or get rid

It's not a charity ff sake

Although we were very generous yesterday in the first half

Re: Connor Wickham

Reports on the web that he was messing with Balloons last night - if true I’m sure Tan & co will send him in the same direction as NML.

30-year-olds messing about with balloons for a three minute buzz. Wowza
