JC first off now; second while being injured and erm representing our club he was twice filmed hammered. JC, is is okay for our walking wounded to get hammered – like, that’s ‘professional’ and will help their recovery and our standing..

The devils dandruff Mark.Terrible shout

Share it with us Paul?

Isnt a Brazilian fanny a baldy one?He laughed at Joelinton and Burns doubling up on him, i was more surprised at the lack of backup from his teammates.

Yes JC

“Beak”???

While he was playing for Everton Paul?

We have 18 outfield players, and only one of them has a Champions League and 3 League titles. But, he is costing us 300k a week. If he wants to extend his career he has to sort out his alcohol use, for himself, his family and the club.

Well, I assume he is a decent human being JC but I know and have irrefutable proof that JG can also be an unprofessional and unreliable pisshead.

MG alcohol related 100% mate. The record speaks for itself

Not necessarily, I added the whatever for just that purpose…and who don’t like a little bit of alliteration for effect, anyway nobody actually knows. But the physical consequences of physical substances can be treated, mitigated, but not cured that’s tied to the internal mental aspect – which is the real problem…or as somebody called it ‘the little voice in your head’.The one that tells you – right sunshine, we’re done here, you’ve had enough, off home for you. Most people have it – some don’t or if they do they ignore it.

Who gets dropped so Hackney starts?

When did he do something similar Brendan?

Fair enough John but we all donate to deserving ho find me pages but the size of the donation is all relative to the income. Fair dues he donated but his contributions to the club this season have been poor. I for one didn’t really want him back as we are so predictable with him in the team. Maybe that’s down to Moyes but giving the ball to him out wide slows us right down and at best all he does is draws a foul.

Dibling wasn’t “kept” quiet. It’s not like the opponents were paying special attention to him — he didn’t require it. And I saw exactly one moment that could be defined as “trying to create a spark.”

I don’t think the club will breach Jack’s privacy without his permission. It would be up to Jack to make a statement if he wants.Whatever rules he broke — and that is only supposition at this point — the irrefutable fact is that he let his team down with his misconduct when they were counting on him.

No argument PG but Sean brought up the football aspect only, and I replied only to his point.

John, I truly do understand the point you have made about Jack’s generosity. However, surely we shouldn’t be comparing this with his misdemeanour in regard to its potential damage to the team performance and its possible effect on the thoughts of the younger team players.Perhaps the club should release a statement to clarify just what caused this issue.

John C. Can’t see you praising Moyes for doing something similar mate.

The bagwash firm is out tonight.Anyone got change for the drier?

How do you know Paul?

Come on Mark, dont be so reasonable and sensible in your posting.It was in The Daily Star,it must be true.

Its booze AND drugs now.

Let him find another club next season. Using us as a charity case. Villa don’t want him back, United and RS wouldn’t touch him. Ofcourse it’s Everton as the most convenient option so he can live his life without uprooting further a field.

Given his age, his salary and the fact that maybe his best years are behind him it may just be he is at the crossroads at Everton.We have some young lads making good progress who can play on the wings and I saw a lad playing for the Blades today who had a lot of skill. This lad, Donovan may be worth looking at.Nobody is indispensable not even Jack !

I hope Grealish can defeat whatever demons beset him – if only for himself and the rest of his life.Apart from the fact that He’s his own responsibility as it were – He’s also ours…like it or not…for the season.We’re paying out big money for a ‘luxury’ asset and yet all Moyes can do with him is sit him out on the wing by the halfway line.A number of people have said ‘play him in the Middle’ then. Grealish himself, in an interview i watched did say, albeit reluctantly, yes he ‘can’ play in the middle’ but the Inference was that he didn’t fancy it too much. I don’t see Moyes suddenly finding the tactical adventurism, patience, etc, to turn wayward Jack into a born again Brummie Pirlo.So what to do? Physically you can beast him round the training ground for a few weeks to get the beak, booze or whatever out of his system, get him rehabilitated into the squad, but the underlying internal issues still remain and I’m not qualified to know what to do, sometimes there’s nothing you can do.

Did we miss him last night?

he can’t fuckin help himself can he ? of course it was code for – he’s too young , and he’s got a lot more to do (time on the bench)…stop playing the ball forward laddie ! we want you to play it sideways and backwards ….

He’s a top player and seems like a good person. I’m confident that player, manager and club will move on from this.

Is it absolutely certain it’s down to the booze that he’s missed training? Or just assumption based on tabloid photos from during the summer when he was injured?

This is like comparing chalk and cheese JC. Nobody that I know of does not think that JG is a decent human being with a good heart. But he can also be an unprofessional and unreliable pisshead.

Fair point Dave.Im not saying he is ok doing that if it was through ale,hes let himself and the club down if it is the booze.Nothing clear yet,just rumours as far as can see.Its the indignant condemnation from the whiter than white that is out of order.Im not talking about you Dave btw.I havent seen that from yourself.

No Geoff we were stuck with him going by the way we signed him on loan- he was unreturnable

Being honest John, great he gave the donation, doesn’t give him the right to take the piss out the club, his team mates and the fans which he has done and not for the first time.

But Dibling is not an unreliable pisshead Mike. Grealish was already in the Birmingham Mail for being an embarrassing pisshead when he was Dibling’s age. I’ll bet you 2 dollars that if JG was erm ‘sick’ over the weekend it was the mother of all hangovers after yet another bender.

Just got sent a clip of a young Blue from Southport,34,with terminal cancer.The family were offered medical trials but could not afford it.They set a fundraising page up.The wife said she seen Jack’s name on the page,scrolled down and seen Jacks £10,000 donation.Any of the faultless,snow white posters giving him stick care to make a donation?I can post a link if required.

You’ve asked him that question before John and he did not answer it then. I’ll have a go. What Mr.Steers was your role/position in ‘sports for a long time’? You keep reminding us of this as if it gives you some sort of authority. So, details please. By the way, I’ve been ‘in sports’ for ‘a long time’.

Not arsed about the draw, let’s get past the banana skin of Fleetwood first. Then likely have to beat a top team if want to win the trophy so bring them on !

Nice to see Everton coming fast on the break. Taking risks but also scoring. Better football.

Yeah we’ve all been out, missed work the next day, but is anyone else taking home 300k a week ? Some might say it doesn’t matter, but it does, we’re paying him that money for his ability, his experience and his presence. He hasn’t set the world alight this season yet, so he should be doubling down on training not missing it. Add this missing training to his below his high standards performances and you start to wonder if he’s arsed at all !

yeah tony , that was big joe after beating spurs at elland rd. 95 fa cup semi – i have been to 4 league cup finals 3 in 77 and 1 in 84 the handball hansen final…so i’m a jinx , just as well i’m too old and too skint to go to any other big games !!!

Your job Paul? That was real nonsense at its “best”

I can’t remember the amount of times I’ve missed work after a good night out?. Nothing to see here

According to the manager, it was the player apologised who for his performance in the changing room after the Chelsea game, Christy!

Another bollocks to your dream final, it will have to be then Philip!

Was sending him back to City after his injury an option last season Dave, I couldn’t see the logic in keeping him especially as City wanted silly money for him.

No thanks, Eric. The resolution to the problem is NOT to make our critically small squad even smaller to “cut our losses” — we’ve got 12 games between now and the opening of the January window, and we’re not going to make it through that stretch with no injuries.

I dont feel Jack is an us type of man. We need all hands on deck, and pissy sissy can’t go 5 mins without a topple. What a waste of wages, surely would have been better suited somewhere else. Slows the play down when we need speed .

well looking at the other quarter final fixtures , we can forecast that the winner of fleetwood v everton tie will not play the winner of palace v sunderland …after all we can’t have the ‘small clubs’ spoiling the dream final of city v l’pool …

Come on, Dibling slows us down just as much as Grealish does.
