Would that it were that simple. We are only surmising that alcohol is the problem but if that is the case, as anyone with a drink problem will tell you, it's not usually a case of simply 'bucking your ideas up'. Nobody chooses to be an alcoholic. If he genuinely has a problem, he needs help. Clarke Carlisle had a problem a few years back and was helped and supported by Holloway at QPR and he turned things around, Roy Keane has a drink problem in the 90s. Then there was Tony Adams-maybe his clinic may be the answer-it even helped Joey Barton stop drinking (though it didn't stop him being a prat).

Serious question - does anyone have contact with Clarke Carlisle? You can see where this is going, naturally.

A lot of wild accusations being thrown about on this thread. You're all just guessing.

Accusations that are believable due to past behavior unfortunately. He's a great talent, but get some money for him. We can't afford people like him in our squad.
 
Sure Phil Brown knows all about Treacy from his Blackburn days. His comments from the forum make it fairly clear Treacy has to change his ways quick smart or he's out of the door.
 
Treacy needs sorting out. Someone should be able to help. IF he refuses help, his feet shouldn't touch.

Probably as talented as anyone else at the club but for whatever reason appears to want to win TW@T of the year award.

He must be mates with a few of the players and because of that must have a bad influence on the club. We can't afford another 'bad apple'..........we made enough cider from the last batch.

Absolutely spot on. If the boy has a drink problem, just shouting at him and dropping him won't help. If true, the club should offer him a period of leave to seek proffessional help and then hopefully we would have a player on our hands.
 
We knew this when we signed him -excellent business by the previous managemengt team - why did we employ such apparent incompetents.

I actually think you're being naive here and this kind of attitude actually dumbs down alcoholism. There is a clear difference between a young lad not giving a shit about his career and club and deciding to go out on the lash whenever he wants and the REAL, genuine, first swig of whiskey at 10am alcoholic.

As soon as drink is mentioned, people like yourself assume it's always a case of alcoholism, ie. the latter example. If it's a case of the former (which, incidently was what Carlisle was going through- the trappings of being a professional footballer. Carlisle never had the "disease" as you put it) then it is actually a case of bucking up his ideas and changing his lifestyle because he doesn't have a disease. He's just being a prick.

If he is a genuine alcoholic, he's pretty much fucked as a professional footballer.

Quality post..🙂 Its got to be Magner's this time though hasnt it!
 
What a bunch of miserable Puritans.

I'd give my right nut to be a footballer precisely because of the opportunities on offer at local nightspots.

Kurt Nogan was in TJ's a couple of days before he scored 2 against Arsenal in the Cup and there's been the odd player in the past who has enjoyed the social side of things and still done alright, like.

We are cutting our own thoats by leaving out our most creative player.
 
If its affecting his training, ie. turning up late, hungover etc. then i am fully behind Brown to leave him out. If i turned up like that for work i wouldn't have a job, simple. No matter how good i am.

If its really serious, like an everyday thing then the lad needs special help.
