Nookie Bear Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Obviously i'm a complete square because I do see something wrong with him smoking.

Goodfella Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 In all honesty good on the lad. I've tried smoking before and occasionally try it on nights out, I'm not gonna lie I look like a bit of a ###### when I do it. I'm just not doing it right, I keep inhaling.

He is a professional athlete and should behave like one. As a professional athlete he will earn his living based on his ability and his consistency to maintain that ability over the course of his career. How much that living he earns will be diminished by the number of tabs he chooses to smoke is entirely his to decide. For better or for worse. Smoked for 20 years myself and gave up a decade ago, so a more vehement anti smoker you will find it hard to come by. But come on man - he is a person with decisions to make and live with, give him a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardenjambo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Mixed views on this. Obviously it's his choice but if you are to believe what you read then it's got its long term repercussions, can't be doing his lungs any good and not really in keeping with the image 'athlete'. Especially seeing as we tend to play him on the wing, where speed and stamina are fairly crucial. It's a bit extreme to suggest that one or two will cause too much harm, but it certainly isn't getting him any fitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, totally his choice but a professional athlete should be in the besy physical condition possible - that's the kind of thing that gives a player 'the edge' over an opponent of equal ability. Reeks of poor discipline, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Tell that to Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole, Gerard Pique, Cristiano Ronaldo, Peter Crouch, David Beckham etc. Yep, I get what you're saying. Thing is, if Novi has a cigarette every so often then no probs. If he's on a few a day then it is a problem. I just don't think it's good enough. I know plenty of folk who take part in running/cycling races etc just for the hell of it and they all seem to understand why you don't do it AND they have the discipline not to do it, so i can't understand why the coaches at Tynecastle (or anywhere) tolerate it.

Don't try it kids, it's addictive. Perhaps all the guys above who smoked had supreme ability and footballing brains which made up it. What happened to Fowler's fitness when he hit 30, by the way? Carlton Palmer knew he had limited ability but also knew he had to be in top physical condition to stand a chance so he made sure he did all the right things off the pitch. I think our players are more Carlton Palmer than Johann Cruyff so they should give themselves a chance, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
