Far too many players with beards If you ask me, whatever happened to the beard police?
You'll win nothing with beards. |  |

Taylor Richards wasn't in attendance at the training ground on the morning of the photocall owing to personal reasons.

Really says it all! Is this the least serious professional footballer (so-called) of all time? |  |

There is obviously a lot more going on that is not football related and more health related with Taylor. I just hope he can get himself right and can get the help he needs. |  |

Really should lay off Richards. It's obvious he was taking the photo |  |

Honestly, that new training ground would go to the opening of an envelope if it thought a camera would be there; it's in absolutely bloody everything. Surprised it's not been given a shirt number for the season! |
Perhaps they should call it the Meghan Markle centre. |  | | |

Don't they normally wear boots for these? Something very odd looking about the trainers! |
I like it brings back memories of the Guinness shirt on the plastic pitch when we were the talk of the football world .
That team was excellent too of course |  | | |

It’s clear from the Richard Dobson interview that this guy has no intention of getting himself right.
He’s stealing 15k a week from our club and you want him wrapped in cotton wool. | | | |

Agree Brian, it’s obviously more than just fitness.
Great piccie though good to see Jimmy’s shoulder attached to the rest of his body |
Unlike Lyndon’s head which, due to the tats, looks like it’s been photoshopped | |

Yeah just didn't look right to me!
Although of course these days, even wearing boots they'd be every colour under the sun  |  |

Stephen Bala - middle row, second from left - looks like a kid who's wandered into the pic by mistake and has the panicked look he's about to be found out. |  |

Two fold I suspect. One they wanted to try and get that big badge in, and the wall of bond holders. But also, two, the other side isn't finished yet. | | | |

You mean we are going to have more noise about the TG when it's finally finished?
Its the media story that just keeps on giving. |  |

We've been here before with players like Clarke Carlisle. I'm not so sure that Dobson has much background in mental health issues. We need to be very careful how we handle and look after Richards.
He's not on anything like the reported £15K a week so we can forget that argument as well. The main thing is can we get him right and out doing what he has the potential to do? What we can't do is neglect him and have the consequences that Carlisle suffered, even if Richard's manifestation of his issues is different, it's still obviously a much deeper health issue.

Absolutely.
If he says he’s got problems and he’ll happily drop his footballers wages to a grand a week until he’s a footballer again, then I might have some sympathy.
As it stands, it looks like he’s taking the club and the fans for mugs. |  | | |

The Dele Alli thing just gnaws away at me with this, because lots of Souness type pundits were queueing up to kick that lad, and then lo and behold it turns out he's been sexually abused as a kid among many many other things and I bet they wish they'd kept their gobs shut. We don't know what's going on behind closed doors. There may be all sorts of issues here, so it's better to tread carefully with comments rather than look like a dick further down the line if details emerge or worse.
That said, I didn't think it was a particularly clever thing for somebody who's supposed to be struggling to cope with grief to fill his Instagram with pictures of him and his mates pising about in some ridiculously high end West End boutique have a fcking whale of a time, trying and buying clothes that cost as much as my car, on a Saturday afternoon when he was meant to be playing for the team that pays him that money away at Middlesbrough. I notice with interest that somebody somewhere has got hold of him and told him to take that sht down as well - just two pics of him playing for Brighton reserves on there now.
Grief's a terrible thing, and we deal with it terribly in this country. When my dad went the counsellors, Macmillan nurses and my school got in my mum's ear about the importance of "normality". Clive needs normality, he needs routine. The fcking school had a vested interest because it was a shthole at the bottom of its league tables and they wanted my Year 9 SAT results (vital stuff) to help them out. Taking a miserable and bereaved little boy, and forcing him back somewhere that he was miserable int he first place. I needed taking out. Just call it, in March, take me out of school, fck the SATs, we'll start again in September, maybe in a new school. Because I was bereft, there was nothing left of me. I needed taking on a long holiday, not putting back in there. IT's made me angry, bitter, and with real issues around authority and people telling me what to do, even now 20 years later.
So part of me thinks if that is what's happening here, and they've just taken him out of the line of fire because he can't cope with it, then I've got a lot of empathy with that. But, on the other hand, not being required to do any work while pulling in thousands a week is not a luxury that's afforded to any of the rest of us in grief in this country. They didn't even give me the week off between the death and the bloody funeral. I've also got pretty low tolerance for people using death and grief as an excuse for their own failings.
In the end, like I say, we've no real idea what's going on here, other than the way we structured that deal means we've spent money we don't have on a player this manager wouldn't have signed in a billion years. | | | |
