Kieran Trippier: has a chance to play against Everton (Howe)

[Groundhog63]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Being an absent, part-time parent is an absolute cunt of a gig. Might be slightly more depressing if it's from zero fault of one's own compared to being caught on the side but that's some "can't do the Time? Don't do the Crime" level of inspect. Given his occupation it's not even like he can have the bairns every other weekend etc etc type arrangement. I feel for the man, regardless of his transgressions.

Move him on in Jan and get him off the wage bill to help bring a new winger in. We have Tino and Krafth as back up.

 

 

 

I’d rather be playing Tripps than Krafth for any run of games mind. I would sell for a decent offer though, given our need to make money.

Players were out every neet in the 90s man. If social media didn't exist it would still be the same. Live and let live, go on tripps la. 

The game has moved on a bit from a sports science POV, mind. Wages, as well. 
 

I don’t think he should be getting hung, drawn and quartered because of this. But players getting wankered whilst injured is not really optimal from a recovery standpoint  that’s before you even consider the optics.

Depends what is in the optics tbf, Gin not too bad but would stay aff the Vodka.

The club should absolutely support him (and all the squad) the best they can as he’s obviously going through a tough phase. Yes that support can only go so far, but there is a duty of care for any organisation. 
 

I find it a little odd that some people want him booted but Tonali got comparatively little grief on here (which was good to see). I appreciate they are two completely different set of circumstances.

Having a mad sesh is probably not ideal for his recovery buts it’s not a mortal sin, man. In any case, what he gets up to in his personal life is none of our business (illegal activities aside); so long as he performs when he gets on the pitch.

It's not a sin, but it is extremely unprofessional. 

[Elliottman]

Probably more a case of how often it’s happening rather than an isolated incident. Get the impression it wasn’t exactly a one off.

Every manager has always said what a great professional Trippier is. 

 

A night out where he's been photographed talking to some girls shouldn't mean he's suddenly unprofessional

Being hammered is, regardless of how rare or often it happens when you're a professional athlete. I don't really care what he does as long as he performs for us when fit. It's still unprofessional though.

[McCormick]

Certainly not ideal, no but not even sure how true these claims are.

Grow up

[Menace]

Again, another player we simply held on for too long. We wouldn't get anything for him now.

So we will get something for him?

Nothing wrong with hanging onto good footballers.

 you're very naive if you don't think professional athletes don't have nights out and get drunk

He adds completely different qualities to those two though

 

Hes gone at the end of the season and there are more pressing concerns in the squad e.g RCB and RW particularly given our tight financial situation.

[Bimpy474]

Zero empathy, zero forgiveness, zero understanding. Nope, let's just jump to the worst conclusion and castigated him with extreme prejudice (good film that) from some.

Would you care if Wilson got piss drunk while recovering?

You have to be a good and proper weirdo to take photos of a player sitting in a bar. 

 

People on here are probably judging these players to a more intense level than they are judged internally, it's not entirely out the question they are given a day off during rehab etc for the sake of their mental health, the only person Trippier or any other player has to answer to is their manager.

Allright, I expect several people to defend it if it happens. Not that it will, though.

[Dr.Spaceman]

There is the potential that Tripps wants a bit of an outrage to speed up his exit...

Allright. I was born in the 90s myself, so I don't know much about how it was back then. But today that is highly unusual for players on the top level. That's one of the main reasons why players last longer today.
