Back to the point call me old fashioned but I expect our players to behave professionally at all times even on holiday they are highly paid media professionals that obligation does not end when the ref blows the final whistle. Yes they need to wind down and relax but surely the depasture lounge of a UK airport so soon after that disaster was not the place that's plain common sense and to be honest gerrard should have known better. That's not being gloomy that's just good judgement which given the media training these guys receive was not used in this case

I have explained my view above but since you must be so prescriptive I would say three weeks would be about right but these guys are in the limelight all the time so standards of behaviour and the impact on the club apply all the time by the nature of their role you must grasp that surely ?

Sorry don't understand what your fuss is all about. These guys are on holidays and probably want to cheer up after a bad season. I suppose they think they did their maximum in the system they are operating. You wanted them to go on holidays all doom and gloom? They cannot change the result anymore. It could also however show that they don't give a damn anymore for whatever reason, which would be more worrying.

Nothing wrong withit. As a matter of fact, i am ecstatic to see the squad so happy. Lose or win, i love each and every one of those boys. The club and players have been such a big part of my life and I love seeing them happy.

How was that 'unprofessional'?

No one was fighting, puking, fall down drunk, swearing, abusive, untoward... a bit of camaraderie, a chant, some mild dancing while on holiday. The only offence here is that you hold this set of humans to some inhuman standard. The only violation is that their mood doesn't somehow match the mood you wish to insist on them. Your outrage is completely hollow.... and this is a complete non-issue.


Its the impact and how it looks not whether they have lamped a policeman or not. And I must be right look at the fuss in the media over it.

What I see is some friends having fun in a public area, what's wrong with that?

They want the Gerrard leaves in misery story - but find him leading his teammates in one last merry dance.

Fck the media anyway!


Unfortunetly in their role there is not that option
