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.
Hasn’t he always had a bit of a reputation as a piss head?
Im not sure of the correct technique for messing with balloons, but i saw a video of what appeared to be someone blowing up a balloon. Still, anyone of his age with a top-knot, must be a few sarnies short of a full picnic.
If he had any sense, he would have gone quiet on social media for a week. Says it all unfortunately.
Complete Dick 😣
Messing with balloons? Inhaling nitrous oxide? Is that illegal?
We were better upfront when Wickham came on.
Couldn’t care less what our players get up to in their free time. It is a job for them and nothing more, expecting them to care as much as we do about a specific game is unreasonable.
Some will but I have no problem if others see it as just another game. The derby is for us.
It’s also a balloon, not a bag of cocaine he’s flying about with so comparing this to NML is nonsense.
Yesterday was April the first and the joke really was on us
Let's hope he's not an influence on the younger lads, ones that are easily lead etc.
I think people are being naive if they think this is harmless, just because it's not illegal.
As someone who's abused drugs in the past I think anything like this that alters your state of mind is going to be bad for you. People get addicted to the buzz, and it's only so long before more people start dying from this.
People saying it's harmless are being stupid, if we just brush it off as "not a problem in their own time" then the follow on is going to be kids seeing football players doing it, the attitude is it's happens right?
I agree. We don't need our players being this stupid.
Contra t should be terminated.
He has apologised Attachment 5507
I chopped my neighbours head off.....and then apologised....that makes it ok?

In case the instagram statement in TWGL1's post is unreadable, Wickham said:
"I'm obviously aware of a video circulating on social media.
"I know my responsibility as a professional. Playing for Cardiff City is a huge privilege, I've been so welcomed by you all and I will always give 100%.
"To lose the game the way we did yesterday hurt more than ever, even though you will feel it doesn't seem that way to me.
"I hope you can all understand and I will do my best [to] help my team and this club to achieve the best possible outcome this season!"
What a complete arsehole
It's no laughing matter ,well our performance was , perhaps he was watching a reply of the game whilst inhaling , its sort of understanding
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:
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.
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?
There was a programme on Kavos a while back. Balloon use seemed the norm. Street was littered with them.
thats no apology, does not say anything about sorry... thats a leaving note, he knows whats coming
