Re: Connor Wickham

I don't know of any of our lot being seen on social media doing gas a few hours after another sickening Derby defeat when 6 days later we line up against a relegation opponent

Who else has behaved like this , rubbing our faces in it ?

He's an idiot and he's not 21 with cash in his pocket

He owes us after this and if he isn't up for it I hope sabri shows him the door

My head may be playing tricks here but didn’t some players go on the piiss before a game under Dave Jones that cost us promotion? I’d google it but can’t be arsed.

There was also Ross McCormack. Piised up and driving.

It wouldn't surprise me but I bet they got stick and they deserve it

Well paid and in the case of Wickham given a final chance and he is out partying when people are pissed off after another defeat

Wtf is going on in his brain ?

Where is his brain more importantly ?

Shape him up or out he goes

Well he should have been sacked for that and plenty on here thought so at the time

You would lose your job in loads of occupations for that

Re: Connor Wickham

It’s a shocking look after a dire defeat where he did next to naff all as a contribution. Some might be ok with it but how will the fans react after his next stinker? They may as well get shot in the morning.

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.

My work colleague lived in a flat in the bay and used to regularly see two of our players doing multiple balloons on one of the nearby balconies. They were fully aware that they could be seen by many people but obviously couldn't give a toss. I don't anything about the side effects of this gas but as noted by several other posters, they're meant to be professional athletes and look after themselves.

If I was sabri I would tell him he's in the last chance saloon /QUOTE]
He'd probably order a pint and a chaser. Idiot.

"However, there have been reports of an increase in neurological harms, including nerve and spinal cord damage, related to heavy and persistent use. One woman in Wales said that taking too much laughing gas left her unable to walk."

Might explain him walking about the pitch not making a single sprint when Kaba was out on his feet.

That was before the 3-0 home defeat by Middlesbrough on May Day 2011.

Re: Connor Wickham

I hope the club show him the door, we don't need brainless arseholes here at a time were fighting, or should I say supposed to be fighting for Championship survival.
Let's hope when we get back to recruiting players in future, that we do some proper due diligence of their character.
Maybe the club should put a clause in their contracts to say all social media should go through the club first?

Still nothing from the board - Keeping fans in the dark tactic continues.

Re: Connor Wickham

I'm not even 40.

I'm not middle aged.

I've seen people get addicted to plenty of drugs, and this one, if you take the time to Google it can be addictive as well.

It may only be a short buzz, but it can't be good for the body long term.

What happens if the buzz of this isn't enough? What does he replace it with to achieve the same buzz when this one wears off?

I had enough control not to turn to crack etc when I was "only weekend offending" causing nobody harm as I paid for it all myself.. but plenty of people replace the buzz of snorting with smoking and injecting.

It may be a bit of a jump to suggest someone go from balloons to coke..but it's not exactly that far fetched.

All the youngsters I know that do balloons also snort Ket.

That level of control you had is hardly a badge of honour.
Separately…Would you consider doing (or have you done) anything about the ‘youngsters’ you know who are snorting ‘ket’ (as you call it)?

Nobody suggested it was a badge of honour.

I haven't drank for 8 months. Drink wasn't an issue, it was what followed after the drink that was my issue, so I've gone sober.

Touched on it in another thread.

You can't help anyone who doesn't want to be helped, I know from experience. These kids want to do it. It's really not my place to start telling them what to do, you can talk to them about how your own life has gone, but they aren't interested they just want to have a good time.
