Woodytom Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 i do think there is a time and a place to meet up with ex team mates etc. A Half time catch up, is a little Laissez - faire imo. However, VILLAFC2000 - your probably taking it a little bit too seriously. Some of the best players in the game played with a smile on their face. Craig Bellamy is forever pissing about on the pitch. Focused doesnt necessarily mean stood on the pitch, staring at the opposition goal waiting for KO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focused doesnt necessarily mean stood on the pitch, staring at the opposition goal waiting for KO Its fine to get away with laughing and joking around if your good enough on the pitch - However if you laugh and joke around and play with an arrogance of complacency ending up with an inept performance - then I would say that not really acceptable. What do you prefer the attitude of the first video or the attitude of the second video..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It's a game and whoever has an issue with dunne in that video doesn't play competitive sport. Or is one if those utter tools in sport who is purely about winning and not about enjoying your sport/work. He played there for years and knew some players and many of the staff.

I completely agree Dunne did play there for years and probably did know a lot of people however there is a time and place to joke and laugh about casually - after the game prime example.

Which attitude in which video was better to have as a professional sportsmen...? Whats the difference between doing in the tunnel at half time, and doing it after the game? The whistle "has gone" in both occasions. As long as he is focused and up for the game as soon as they kick off I don't see the issue. The video tells you nothing about how he acts in the locker room, just how he acts when meeting some mates in a player tunnel. If it was on the pitch right after conceding a goal I'd completely agree with you though. In my humble opinion a true professional sportsman has a friendly tone with the opposition player but gives his everything for the team as soon he steps on to the pitch.

Exactly - Which is fine if you play well on the pitch and are consitent every week.Can you remind me of the score, how many goals we conceded and the general performance...? All I am saying is his attitude could of been a little bit more focused in my opinion. Its when you laugh and joke about and put in a terrible performance that's when things needs to improve. The point I am trying to make is this: We currently lie 14th in the PL, without a home win for a long time, our defense has been shocking. Over the past 2 year Villas performance have been woefully inept. Its ridiculous that you defending players attitude. I am saying that some of the players attitudes need to improve on and off the pitch.- they can give more. I simply cannot believe that YOU think there is absolutely fundamentally NO room for attitude improvement as they all currently give 100%, irrespective of what that video shows. Which attitude from Which video would you prefer during a game..? We can learn and need to improve. We have not got the class of players, we can improve in other areas starting with attitude. This post will mean Dunne will be MOM today after scoring a hat trick in stoppage time after farting in the tunnel before the game whilst doing cart wheels and smoking a fag before kick off..!

This post will mean Dunne will be MOM today after scoring a hat trick in stoppage time after farting in the tunnel before the game whilst doing cart wheels and smoking a fag before kick off..! First off all, I've never ever said there isn't a attitude problem, so please don't put words in my mouth and stick to what I've actually wrote in my post before you respond to it. It might be my fault for not making my point clear enough, so I'll give it another go: I don't like Dunne. Do I think he might have an attitude problem along with other players in club? Yes. Do I think the video you use as "evidence" off Dunne's attitude problem is a good example? No. The Man City players have just the same "attitude" as Dunne, yet they manage to outplay us by a light year. I just think that the video tells you very little about a players attitude on the pitch or in the dressing room. And I choose to judge players by their performances on the pitch and not on how they react when they meet an old friend in the break. Why are you comparing a video of players in the player tunnel to a coach making a speech in a locker room? The first video tells you nothing about the situation in the latter. Besides that I agree with the fact that every player should give their everything in respect for the people paying their wages. And that some senior players need to work on their attitude. I agree with many of your points, I just don't think the video you're using to back up your arguments has anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thought he was decent today and at the end, one who seemed to take it by the scruff of its neck - albeit to little effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If he's out, we are faced with a defence of Hutton-Collins-Cuellar-Baker (maybe Lichaj in there somewhere? - no idea how much of a contender he is. Notice he wasn't on the bench today.) Whatever, that is fairly scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just back from VP and Dunne was a rock toady. Up there as his best performance this season alongside the Arsenal game at VP when he was also excellent. The whole back 4 was good today though which was about the only thing that was.
