Player's wives

[vanderlaans_header]

Seems like the unrest is getting to the players partners!

At 18:53 Andreas Weimann's wife tweeted "Absolute joke!!!!", just as her husband was left out of the team. She's since deleted the tweet.

At 17:23 Chris Baird's wife tweeted "I predict my prediction will be correct x" and then at 21:43 she tweeted "And I was right, as always". She's since denied that it was about football. I struggle to believe her.

I'm afraid ladies that if your husbands don't play well enough they're not going to get a game!

This only has any impact on the imbeciles who live their lives via twitter. Players wives /partners/ family/ friends views are irrelevant to the progress of the team. [/quote]

They certainly should be VdLH, but isn't it indicative of the the squad's current collective state of mind that this sort of nonsense is happening? [/quote]

You singed a 'bad-egg' in Mr Shackell, he and his wife upset a few at Turf Moor too I believe.

Was wondering when the inevitable anti Shakell bile post would appear. I don't remember such a bitter and twisted reaction to a player for some time. You lot were 4-1 up and still wallowing in the misery of a former player leaving the club. Burnley seem to have a decent replacement in Keane...what's the problem?

Shackell was excellent for us. He left because you lot tripled his wages, who wouldn't go for it?

For some reason people like to make stuff up to make them feel better, he wasn't that good, he's past it now, he was a bad influence on the dressing room etc. It's all rubbish.

Was funny watching him get worse and worse with the abuse/cheers yesterday though.

No real point reading on if you're one of those that believes financial guesswork and presents it as fact.

This may be of some comfort. (Link below).

He left you. Get over it. - view external link

Back to OP, how would you feel if your significant other went viral following a board meeting that had not gone your way and expressed his/her disgust at the outcome? Shouldn't be happening and won't be increasing the players chances

Bang on Manx!

It is a matter of professional conduct. There are few jobs that involve being in the public eye where it is considered acceptable to slag off the employer in public over routine work decisions. Because it is known to be public and known that the public will both see and react to/interpret such comments, then that same level of professionalism has to extend to friends and family.

Comes with the territory. If the comments were not job related (which would be hard to believe but could still be remotely possible) then there still has to be an degree of common sense used when posting them, such as taking into account how they are likely to be construed.

Absolutely right imo Manx, especially if - as has been suggested - one of the 'culprits' is the club captain's wife. More to the point, how will the manager and owner react and what will be done about it? God knows, it's not as if they - players and their families - aren't rewarded well enough!

Yes those sending the rubbish out through social media need to understand and take responsibility. Like Samir Nasri's girlfriend who went on a rant because Didier Deschamps didn't pick her man for the France squad. The result being Deschamps proposing to sue the girlfriend and I suspect severely limiting future international prospects for Nasri. As the saying goes: 'it's sometimes better to keep your mouth shut and look stupid, than open it to confirm the fact...'
