Although it means sort of 'little chubby' it's also strangely a term endearment for a gf/bf...

Yorkie Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 If he'd made a couple of ricks right before coming off then he was probably agitated and doubly emotional about being withdrawn; meanwhile if you've already told someone to 'get off' but they keep your hands on you, it's not a huge surprise that they might flinch like that. However, none of that means it's acceptable to get into a public petulant spat with the boss and it's not really great to see; mainly because it's an extremely rare chink in what appears to be the most harmonious dressing room in a generation. I'm sure it'll have been resolved by the time they were on the bus, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a deliberate misinterpretation of my post, but you do you. Getting subbed off when you came on as a sub is always going to sting a bit. Obviously in a perfect world you don't throw a fit, but it's also a complete non-issue if a player is upset about it - of course they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But throwing a fit makes it into a bit of an issue. It'll be sorted easily enough, he'll be left in no doubt that it's not to happen again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) He shouldn't have acted the way he did, that's the top and bottom of it. He could absolutely show frustration and be annoyed and all that, and I get that tempers are flying high, etc. But as soon as Eddie puts an arm around him and talks to him he should be respectful enough to dial it in and see the bigger picture. That may be down to immaturity, but for me it's an excuse. I think he needs to be given the benefit of a doubt and we need to appreciate he's keen, eager and desperate for minutes. However, some of the other players put an arm around him and chatted with him and I think that's the right way to go about it. It's a sign of the importance of the likes of Lascelles, Ritchie, Murphy, etc. Within the squad. The right attitude. Was well pleased Trippier gave Jamaal the armband and was well pleased Ritchie talked to Gordon as a fellow hot head. Situation managed, hopefully lessons learned and we move forward, stronger.

LALASAM Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 He is a kid who has been wrapped up in the cotton wool of the privileged football community all of his life and doesn't understand the reality of fan's expectations.

Heron Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Not sure why the territorial army is being debated here but they're also important to the countries upkeep and defence like despite being part time... Back to the subject matter, it doesn't simply justify pre-conceptions - people see what Eddie has built and think he deserves more respect than that which was shown. They're right to do so, but likewise it is important little is made of a fairly nothing situation. Edited April 9, 2023 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, isn't it even more snowflake-y to worry about perceived slights to 'fans expectations'? Nowt screams privilege more than getting upset because a footballer was mildly irritated about being subbed. Even if the person has been to war.
