Is this acceptable? Morecambe are not a pub team and some of the players, especially the new ones need to realise this. When they are out they represent the club and the town itself. I doubt Sammy would have been happy if he saw them. They are also supposed to be athletes and beer, cigarettes and junk food isn't going to improve their performance on the pitch.

Disgraceful!
less than 2 weeks from the start of the season and they are abusing their bodies like this! it is not the image of a professional sportsman which i would expect from a Football league player.
You should make a commitment to yourself when you become a professional sportmans, not to abuse your health, smoking is just idiotic! when your an ahlete, boozing and eating junk this far into pre season should not even cross your mind. I hope this is a one off and isn't repeated again before or during the season.

Players are entitled to letting their hair down providing that it's not a regular happening.
The next time will be at their Christmas 'do'.
I've no problems at all providing that it serves its intended purpose.
They maybe professional sportsmen but they are entitled to an occassional good time like the rest of us......or do we want a load of Saints on the field.

Just out of curiosity CC, are you saying the above in an official capacity or is it speculation on your part, its just that when you state, " i can assure you " it's as if you are a club official. Sorry to be a pain, but clarification would be welcome.

Confirmed by a club official to me in person this morning....and I've no reason not to believe him.
Good enough?

Thats my point. Sounds like the boys had been drinking since 2.00pm, so by the time I spotted them, they must have been hammered.
If it's a one off, 'go out and enjoy yourselves before the season starts,' then fair enough but if this is going to happen regularly then its only going to have a negative effect on our performances and the club's image around the local area.
