Wow, what a terrible way of thinking you're displaying there. By being with his wife, while his children are being born, he is supporting his wife, who will be going through a life-changing experience. He is going to be present while his kid is being born.. His football career will be over in 7 years, his kids will be around a lot longer than that. He'll be bonding with his child, who already knows his voice - it'll settle the baby. Giving birth is natural, but you have no idea what kind of birth it will be. At the thinnest slice of the wedge, women die giving birth, or the baby could have problems - he's supporting them both by being there. I really hope your comment was in jest. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an old way of thinking, yes. Who knew times change? That post just came across as insensitive. I'm not offending or anything, but it just paints a very poor picture. 19 minutes ago, screwdriver said: no im 100% sincere He gets paid a fortune he should give everything for the jersey.

Or do you find it fair to lose your place in the team for attending your child's birth? I'm not saying Whelan's been bad but Hourihane does not deserve to lose his place in the team. If Hourihane had a really bad game i could understand it more, but this makes no sense to me, Hourihane been great since Jack's return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hourihane deserves to lose his place because he attended the birth of a child. We are in the middle of the greatest battle in the history of the club. If he's not in balls deep he might aswell not be part of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are as you moaned before we should keep a winning team and then moaned when we didn't rotate for the Derby.

Whether it's Whelan or not, a player who plays his position is much better suited for us. Conor was unlucky, but it's the right decision to keep Whelan in there while he's playing well. You say it's bad for Conor to lose his place when he's playing well, but wouldn't it be exactly the same if he now dropped Whelan? This is what competition is. Good players pushing each other and being ready when they get their chance. Edited April 3, 2019 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management maybe feel he is tired plus why change a wimning team that destroyed Boro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It's nice we have competition for places in the squad with more than 1 players doing well.. Not really been blessed with that for most of the last 10 years or so. Apart from at RB obviously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Same two posters complaining on this thread about anything. Amazing after 5 wins in a row. Connor should 100% have been at the birth of his child. If you'd criticise him for that then you are either a) not a father or b) a complete fool. Whelan came in and played well, of course he deserved to keep his place over connor. Again, it seems this sensible decision is used to knock the manager as they can no longer moan about results and performances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't think Hourihane will be showing any loyalty whilst in the bostick league. He'll be thinking up more excuses to get out of training. He must be the new steve ireland. At least Ross McCorrmack had a genuine reason. He was imprisioned by his gates. He physically couldn't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
