what so they're not entitled to a drink? If training is canceled Monday morning whats the problem? If you've not got work Monday morning, and you fancy a drink, would you not go out? Does me head in that how they think it's ridiculous seeing Wigan players going out drinking - So what? It's just like anyone else finishing work and then going for a drink... Alright yeah, if they have got training in the morning or a game then that is bull, and shouldn't be happening - But come on, if they've not got a game/training the morning after so what? They're still young lads entitled to a drink at the weekend like the rest of us.

Well obviously I prefer a 'tighter ship' than you.

There's more to being a professional than just 'turning up'.

With the news of the young wakefield players, i suggest you get things into perspective.

Lifes short, off the pitch players can do whatever they like.

i agree, if they had lost id of said ok maybe not show your face in town but when they have won whats the harm in that, its not as if there training the next day is it,i know they train monday morning and not very often on a sunday morning. they trained saturday morning for a warm down would you rather them go out after the game and turn up smashed on sat morning. one more thing no one ever put a thread on here when barrett was out nearly every weekendin odd pubs i dont mean wigan town

Oh come on.

1) Don't mention the tragic news which happened over this weekend in conjunction with this. We are talking about lads on the mickey.

2) Yes, of course players can go out and have a drink etc. But I think there is a difference between having a drink/night out and hanging around bars at 4am.

I'm sorry if people think I'm too strict with current players, but its the way I think it terms of professional image and standards. And for the body.

In your opinion how inebriated were they? If they were palatic report them to IL. If they were a little merry they're grown men - a kebab and a pint of water before bed would see them right.

I wouldn't report the lads.

For me there's other factors as well, club image etc.

And people talking about my boss and me drinking is ridiculous. We are talking about Wigan players, big difference.

IL asked the fans to report any instances of players taking it too far, unless they didn't of course.

I've heard the story of Shaun Edwards drunk as a skunk fighting in Princes and getting his ar$e handed to him incidentally. Players are entitled to a drink (within reason).
