Mark Albrighton Posted August 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2019 No idea what the app they’re using is (who buys the drinks has been a suggestion), but Grealish and Targett’s delight at John McGinn’s despair is apparent, and quite enjoyable to see. Team bonding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Are they really out drinking two days before a match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrUnKeNbUm Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Looks to me they are out for a meal and the loser of the game pays the bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if your powers of observation were right and those glasses do belong to McGinn. Are we really worried about two pints, two days before a match?

That Thursday club was happening all last season and they seemed to play ok. As mentioned above, I think it’s just a meal. Edit - on closer inspection the glasses look like coke glasses. Not even beer. Edited August 16, 2019 by villan-scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 deano mentioned it in interviews last season, im sure he values the bonding over the risk of the drinking but the club is aware that they do it so im sure Friday morning they'd be looking for and would know any signs of over exuberance and would have a word if they thought it was too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trez runs away and winks closes jack, any pass given Trez can run into it. The run Trez makes creates no space. That's a good point to be fair.

Yeah I'd be inclined to agree. I play basketball professionally and I know what guys are doing to their bodies, sometimes even before training sessions. It's not the end of the world and not a huge detriment to their abilities should they keep things relatively in check. Agreed though doesn't ooze model-pro.

Mic09 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Jack was sick all over the toilet after an all day bender with the lads and they are simply looking who has to clean it up now. Explains why McGinn is disappointed. #Thursdayclub Nothing to see here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 No allowed to go for a meal with team mates without being criticized for having a drink which was probably water maybe even a Coke zero Athletes/players I know are told their not even allowed sex 48 hours prior a match. They definitely won't be having anything alcoholic. They are allowed to have a social meal though jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be tucked up in bed at that time!! On a serious note who even criticised them? I just saw general observations and discussions about drinking alcohol close to games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomvilla7 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) This happened all last season, Deano even said it in an interview if I recall. They go out for a meal on Thurs, have a bit of a laugh and there has never been any indication that they are drinking at all. Zero. Everyone remember how annoying it was not so long ago when the press made a big deal about Jack outside a nightclub?? Well, that's exactly what we are doing here. There is no fire, so don't blow smoke. UTV Edited August 16, 2019 by Bomvilla7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last players we need to worry about are Grealish and McGinn. They were doing the same thing last year, if drinking was affecting 2 players game they would be bottom of the list of suspects at the club.
