yarddog73 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Can anybody share the Alex Reid video going around on social media, I've tried but it wont allow due to the size of the file. Looks like Reid, Norwood and Raglan questioning why they are in today, highlights all that is wrong with this entitled group in my opinion. They've a chairman currently grafting in the middle of the Atlantic having a bag of crisps for his dinner whose happy to subsidise their wages and an hospital next door where nurses are caring for those who need them on about £15 an hour. I'm not trying to tar them all with the same brush but please try to stay humble, coming across as pretentious and obnoxious are not great traits particularly from average non league footballers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrickyholden Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Hmm looks to me like Norwood is pissed off at Reid rather than agreeing. Thst said it could just be Norwood's resting pissed off face . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind thinks that’s a good idea?? They’ve put themselves under massive pressure tomorrow, because if they don’t perform the fans will quite rightly give some stick.

It’s almost like they’re top of league and feel they don’t need to train for a couple of hours. Instead of being midtable and throwing half arsed performances in. We wonder why we start games games slowly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I wouldn't begrudge them being given the day off, but being in on CD is part and parcel of being a footballer. I also don't see the problem with them saying what they said to each other. The biggest issue with it all is the naivety of Reid to think it was wise to post it online. He's a bit of a numpty like that sometimes... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it for a number of reasons, over reaction?, who knows but I just think it's ill thought and dumb - regardless of what our fans are like, not sure the management team will be too happy about it either seeing as Mellon already goes out of his way to try and protect them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south east latic Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 No doubt it’s a stupid thing to post but I also don’t get what they’re moaning for - being in on for a couple hours on Christmas Day is pretty standard in professional football. They’d have as much leeway as they wanted if they’d been even half competent this season but given how they’ve performed, they’re lucky if they’re not in all day. Think fans have a right to be miffed though I can’t say their attitude surprises me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
