jamboinglasgow Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 When PLG was in charge of Rangers he clamped down on this (part of the reason for the fall out between him and Barry.) I have seen it said by a number of foregin players that a critisim of Brittish football is that there is too many players going out drinkingat night clubs after games which doesn't help them. Now I am not for one momment suggesting that there shouldn't be any at all, just wondering if Csaba will order a cut back in numbers of nights i.e. maybe 1 in 3 weeks rather than every weekend.

Carl Weathers Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I don't know the drinking habits at Tynecastle but I hope the players don't get trousered every weekend. Very unprofessional for a paid athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a dietary issue as well Barry was very keen on his packets of monster munchies too, washed down with "bottles of ginger". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Whenever I have seen Hearts players out on the town they have been either on the soft drinks or very sober for 1am. I don't think it's a problem. No doubt there will be one or two who perhaps push it a bit, but I doubt it's widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatore's Tash Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As long as its a few drinks on the night after a game, I dont see the problem. Although Shabba has already said - sundays off are a thing off the past! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makween Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It's embarrassing that in Scotland it's still seen as "okay" for players to be out on the **** every week, and the guys who try and get them to act like the professional athletes that they're paid handsomely to be are made out to be the bad guys. I'm not aware of it being a particular problem at Hearts, but the "golden generation" of young players at Hibs were terrible for it. Collins is a ******, but he had the right idea re. their diets and training - and he, like le Guen, got a pounding in the media for it. People wonder why this country's miles behind other comparably sized European nations. The sheer lack of professionalism is one reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Unless you know all of the players or spend the whole night watching them -- first team, reserves,under 19 etc then it is not fair to tar them all with the same brush -- from info posted on here and own experience I would say that there is not really too much of a problem at the club. Most of the players these days are well aware of diet etc and their bodies needs -- most of those who post that they have seen player X out drinking fail to ask them how much they have had and how often -- it is not wrong for players to be out -- they are the same as everyone else in that regard. Do we know if they were out for a meal with wife/girlfriend/friends and have then gone out for a drink ? -- no in most cases yet people try to judge them. I am sometimes surprised about the 'holier than thou' attitude taken by some posters -- funny that in this day of video and picture cameras there are no shots of the players staggering about town or being sick outside a club.

Makween Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 ...I am sometimes surprised about the 'holier than thou' attitude taken by some posters... Don't think that anyone's saying that players shouldn't be allowed to drink ever, but if you're being paid well to be a professional athlete then there are sacrifices that you have to make to take care of your body. That's not a comment aimed at Hearts players - I'm not aware of any particular problem within the club - but Scottish footballers in general.

redm Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm reliably informed by members of Edinburgh's bouncer and club/bar manager fraternity that Hearts players are often seen but rarely drink much if at all and are often away quite early doors. Well, with the few obvious and well reported exceptions, of course. Hibs players, however, are a different story. Many of them are quite badly behaved...the younger flairmeisters mostly...in fine hobo tradition, the older ones have graduated to gambling addiction and are less inclined to get hammered and sick up on themselves. I suppose gambling is probably better for their fitness though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds good news, I was just guessing in this thread as last major coach who came in to change a club (PLG) brought in these changes. The bit about Hibs reminded me of when I was at the Hearts v Hibs U19 game in April at Riccarton. I was standing near some of the parents of the hibs U19 and overheard one parent say, "my son seems to eat only McDonalds and take aways and drinks lots of beer, so much for the dietry plans they were given." THey were laughing at that but it was not a joke from the way they were saying it. It amazed me that the club is not more serious at checking players are eating right as diet plays a big part in a players fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sked21 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I would believe that our players are pretty well behaved. I don't have a problem with them drinking if they are of the next day. But I don't think they should do it before training. And never ever before games. Although we do have to watch for dancing videos on youtube.

And those first two are the two that I knew of. Don't think it's really an issue. I believe that the drinking culture is positively encouraged at Rangers though, as it 'builds teamwork'.

arron69jay Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Remember when Burly was in charge there was allot more players going out. Last season when things were bad players from Hearts went out less while Hibs who were getting better results went out and got bladdered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 1974 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 A lot of the younger players these days are seen out at the weekends more in a sense of being seen, rather than getting trousered. Mainly massaging their own ego's if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
