Nope I haven't tried it, not really interested. But then I'm not an 'elite athlete' in the midst of a Premier League relegation battle getting woozy in some nightclub.

And "hippy crack" seems to be the term being used fairly widely across the media and Twitter, its certainly not exclusive to the Daily Mail. So to say that "literally no one calls it hippy crack" is patently bollocks.

I think he's trying to tell us that, yes, he has tried it and, yes, he is coo-ool!

:drool:

Molly? We’re not American.

MD, or at a stretch - Mandy.

It is going to be a long, long night of drug-taking education from you, tonight, I see....

What are your views on Clarkey-cat and Jessop Jessop?

It's not their private life though is it. They are on a club trip and if it was private it wouldn't now be on social media.

The double standards of some of the those thinking nothing wrong when had it been players from other clubs they would be condemning them.

Taking the piss more like. As our players will have the piss taken out of them. Stand by for 'does your dealer know you're here'. If I were a supporter of any of our next opponents I'd be all over it.

With any mistake it will be

"Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
Fatty Duffy's off his face again"

The people making snooty comments about drug taking to show how modern they are simply don't get it.

That last post was supposed to be relatively tongue in cheek. Obviously I was too subtle though. Ah well, they’ll love me when I’m dead.

I couldn't resist a bit of piss taking. No offence meant :wink:

If anyone had serious concerns about this they need to take themselves outside and have a word with themselves. Probably the most puke inducing thread I have read on NSC.

Snowflakes need to wake up, or move to Narnia.

Oh do shut up. You have no idea what the word "snowflake" means. The reality is most "snowflakes" are of a age and demographic that are have done everything going and are hardly going to criticise this.

There is of course that minority "gammon" demographic that has done a bit of charlie, that now oddly thinks anyone who criticises drug taking is LEFT WING and a SNOWFLAKE.

Anyway, there are on a ****ing work trip paid by their employees (not a holiday) so it isn't about them or their "morality". The real problem isn't that they did it, the problem is they allowed it to be filmed and it ended up on the internet ON A WORK TRIP !

It that was my company (and I'd put in the millions Bloom has) I'd go absolutely bat shit mental. I couldn't give a flying **** what they do "out of work", but they were at work.

What’s the significance of having to go outside to have a word with yourself?

I think it's a Northern expression that has made itself down south. I often wondered myself what the word is and why you need to go outside to "have it".

The other oddity of the post is asking snowflakes to wake up, when of course they are mostly "woke".

If they asleep why would they move to Narnia ?

You're getting the gist. Well done.

Shut up yourself Clapham.

OMFG, lads on a works do have a bit of fun and you're throwing up roadblocks, what a bell end. Love the Gammon pejorative, fallen to the SJW ****-speak level. You are a tool my friend. Inhaling from a balloon is kids stuff. Or are you going to suggest it's now a 'gateway drug'? I can remember doing this at school in science class. Get a life for god sake man.

Young lads out having fun whilst on a break, I see no big issue tbh. Silly letting it be filmed mind you.

I'm just glad I didn't have a thousand quid bet on who I thought the 4 participants would have been. I only got one correct

I would have plumped for Duffy. Bissouma. Murray and Mooy

All this "Lads on a works do, let them do what they want" is bullsh*t....

They're not pot-bellied spacktards like us who amble back to a desk or similar after a week necking lager and junk food and sit there farting whilst reminiscing about a week going lobster red and over-indulging. They're elite athletes being paid life-changing sums every week whilst we (the customer) pay a not insubstantial percentage of our hard earned wages to watch them kick a piece of leather around...

I would imagine Uncle Tony is livid with them, and rightly so. I don't care if they get stoned, hammered, high, whatever, then crawl back to their houses on their hands and knees the week the PL season finishes, in private - but during a time when we're fighting for survival in the most prestigious football league on planet earth?

They should set examples to each other and the thousands of kids who dote on their every move. Sorry, I will not budge on this. They're acting like Dickheads.

If they’re having a laugh together and it’s good for team spirit, who cares? For those concerned about marginal gains, I’d have thought the benefit of being a strong group who’ll fight for each other far outweighs any detrimental effect from a mild and transitory drug inhaled more than a week and a half before the next match! Fuss over nothing.
