Ah right so a player who has spent 9 years at a club, can't have a laugh with some of his old friends during the break. Should Shay Given be also fined too for hugging and having a laugh with one of the Man City back room staff as well too? Should Ireland also be fined for coming back to his boyhood club and having a chat with some of his mates?
Do you not go into work and give your co-workers some friendly greetings? Do you go in each morning pumped up ready for the tasks that awaits you ahead and sustain that feeling for your whole shift? What? You sometimes relax on your shift and socialize with your co-workers? Resign immediately, you're showing a total lack of professionalism.
Believe it or not, footballers do have friends from other clubs and are human.
