Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 3, 2013 I posted a link to a van Wolfswinkel interview a couple of weeks ago and joked that his trite remarks and truisms ("I''m here to score goals", etc.) were not exactly rocket science. Which drew a response from 3 or 4 posters of "What did I expect, footballers to be like Einstein?" Yet now, another footballer makes an off-hand comment in an unguarded moment, and lots on here are lambasting his judgment. What do those complaining want? Or is just a case of double standards?

Warren Hill 0 Posted July 3, 2013 Absolutely. Even at a decent amateur level pre-season used to fill me with dread. Running until I was sick, up and down the hills around the edge of Sloughbottom to go around the trees, endless drills and shuttle runs, bleep tests.... I feel ill just thinking about it these days...[+o(] Footballers get accused of being out of touch with the real world, missing your family seems pretty "real world" to me. Yes he''s a lucky boy to do this for a living, he''s a lucky boy that he earns good money but he is allowed to miss his family!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

priceyrice 123 Posted July 3, 2013 Come on guys the OP has to be on a wind up! I bet there are very few footballers on the globe who enjoy pre-season, anyone who has played any sport in their life would know this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 3, 2013 Next we''ll be reading a tweet from Grolt saying how hungry he is. WHEN THERE ARE MILLIONS STARVING IN AFRICA, FFS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,221 Posted July 3, 2013 Any chance R.Bennett was actually being sarcastic and can''t wait to get back for pre-season?Words on a page have no emotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted July 3, 2013 The most moronic tweet (now removed) was the generic Daily Mail reader who felt the need to write something along the lines of "oh yeah well what about our boys in Afghanistan...."Unless there''s been some kind of mass conspiracy regarding army life, I''m pretty sure people choose to join the army and understand it might involve being abroad for long periods of time, being shot at and being killed or injured. Why shouldn''t a footballer miss his family? Is money now the cure-all for everything? Missing your family? Here''s some money. Still missing them? Here''s some more money. What, you still miss your family? Agh, you must be Satan, don''t you know people in the Army are dying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted July 3, 2013 Empathy is not a personal strength of this particular footballer. Having previously been fined for Tweeting inappropriate material you''d hope he might learn, but apparently not. Thank goodness Ryan Bennett makes better choices on the field of play!
