Re: Marcus Rashford

I don't know what Rashford has done, i don;t give a shit either. I just can't get worked up about a footballer, not like some in this thread who ****ing hate him for having the audacity to call out Johnson and his corrupt band of merry men (and Women)

I don’t hate Marcus but if the guy mouths off about child poverty and basks in the adulation whist earning £300K per week, running 3 Rollers and a Bentley and letting down his club with two piss ups in Belfast he has to be held to account. Talk the talk, walk the walk.

Re: Marcus Rashford

Just people at the end of the day. He's a young man enjoying a night out. He shouldn't be missing training but its still a job for him. I've certainly called in unwell a few times in the past.

The issue is people like to expect perfection and complete professionalism from these star names when in reality he's 26 with more money than he can ever spend.

That doesn’t give him the right to ‘call in sick’. I don’t want to judge him by my standards but I never have and I’ll bet loads of other people haven’t either.

He has deprived the fans of value, the ones who pay his wages via the gate, TV subscriptions, and are mined by the advertisers, etc. In that sense he is representative of all footballers, and he should be setting a good example with his high profile. How would you like it if you turned up for a game at the CCS, and half the team were missing because they got pissed the night before? This is the high level view of events, but you get the picture. If Rashford can do it so can everybody else.

And there’s the rub, it’s like Greta Thunberg all over again. Same people doing it as well.

Greta is not an entertainer that the public pay good money to see. She is an agent of change and gets paid for her services by rich benefactors.

The sanctimony is strong in this one! Give over. As for the last part. I’d be f*cking ecstatic. It would at least add some excitement to attending a home game! In other news, young bloke gets pissed on a school night and phones in sick shock!

None of that stops people like you treating her and Rashford in the same way.

Be fair, Rashford is the first Manchester United player to do it since George Best's shenanigans half a century ago

Is that opposed to the rich benefactors that tell us global warming is a myth or that we can't do anything about it now?

I’ve done it plenty of times and I bet loads of other people have as well.

Ok, your favourite band is U2. You buy a ticket and you are really excited about going to the concert. When you turn up the Edge is doing vocals because Bono decided to get pissed the night before. Now imagine if every second person did this across every entertainment sector.

Re: Marcus Rashford

I once got a speeding ticket too. And other times I got away with it. I’m glad I got that off my chest.

You lost me at U2.
