Green light to drinking, red light to getting drunk. Very sensible policy. I want players at Spurs to be treated like adults. What's the point of having any other policy?

Correct. Can't see why some don't grasp this very simple concept.

Do you have any other obvious facts you want to share?

Harry can ban booze. You are just talking nonsense about the logistics of it being physically impossible to stop anyone from doing anything.

Did Hud take Ramos to court because he banned ketchup?

Harry even said if he had to go the route of breathalyzing players then so be it. HR flip flopping does not proove you right that he is powerless.

Pro athletes are NOTHING like every day people. Legal over the counter cough medicines can result in bans and fines. And the police are not the ones doing the fining. :rofl:. Self governing entities that have enough red tape, clauses and power to tell a player "you are not allowed to drink".


Lol..yet again you fail to understand. Where in the rules of FIFA, UEFA or the EPL does it say comsumption of alcohol is against the rules of the competition???

Is alcohol a banned substance in athletics? Are you really comparing a pint of Carlsberg with Stanazolol or Ephedrine?

I'm getting called an idiot because i don't want players to drink at all during the season?

Complete overreaction.

your being called an idiot because you dont seem to understand what harry is saying.

harry is saying basically there is nothing wrong with having A glass of wine or even a beer with a meal or once in while. he is also saying that thats about were it should stop. he doesnt want players going out and getting drunk or getting drunk at all

Please think about what I'm saying...is eating chocolate biscuits illegall? Is drinkng alcohol illegal? Is shooting up heroin illegal?l

Can you see the difference? Can you see which of those examples the club could object to and which is none of their business?


I was'nt saying that you were wrong and yes I understand what you are trying to say but what I was saying to you was the biscuits was a bad example to use LOL, as I said I think the messege is having a drink is ok but not getting pissed, having said that unless Harry employs a spy to follow the players every move he won't know unless its again in the papers.


Harry said: "I've no problem with people having an occasional drink but if you can't have a drink and behave yourself... if you have to get drunk, you shouldn't be drinking.

"I don't want players going out to nightclubs, getting drunk and misbehaving.

I really don't see the problem here, was it Harry should not have said it? or not have said it in public?

This is the last I will say on it:

Harry said a ban of booze after Ledley.

Now Harry said players can drink.

And it looks like I am in the minority that I don't want players drinking at all after recent results. That is fine. But calling this thread complete and utter fail is overcompensating for gawd knows what.

I'm just here to update you people on a topic that made HEADLINES all last year.
