Awards Dinner timing

[kevo]

Good point about this in the Argus comments section. Why is this event not until after the end of the season? Another opportunity for the players to celebrate / get pissed tonight when they should be focussing on Saturday's game. I'm worried we'll get a repeat of the Norwich match. Will be gutting if Newcastle pip us to the title.

The players will not be drinking at the awards dinner. Maybe a tonic water or similar.

The players have been on strict curfews and restrictions in previous years, no different tonight.

Most the players were out on the piss (again) on Saturday too if that is your concern

A lot of players go on holiday straight after the last game of the season. Same reason PFA awards etc are before end of season.

They could have gone to the PFA Awards dinner last night too if they felt the need to drink more.

They won't and they won't, so no worries at all.

Previous events that I've been to, the players are only on soft drinks and don't accept drinks offers(even softies).

To book it immediately after the regular season ends risks interfering with play offs etc. Much later than that and people lose interest, as well as players and staff going on holiday.

Who offers drinks to people that earn more in a week than some people make in a year ! ?

They don't, the players offer drinks to their sponsors.

I just hope some people don't get upset if Glenn Murray doesn't feature as prominently as Duffy, Dunk, Knockaert,Goldson et al in the inevitable Bellagio pool party Instagram collection.

If he doesn't smile and wave at the camera there will be uproar

Weird how a few people pick up on the fact that Murray wasn't seen crowd-surfing down West Street whilst singing We're On Our Way and simultaneously depth-charging five bottles of lager, but don't ask where Hemed, Kayal, Bruno, Rosenior or Stockdale were, to name several others.

Stockdale and Rosenior DID feature in train videos, to be fair.

I presume that the Israeli Men (Hallelujah) were having an expensive meal in an expensive restaurant with their expensive WAGS, that Bruno was with Saint Calde at Latino America, and that Glenn was off doing whatever it is Glenn does.

Before all of them met up with the young beserkers at the big club do, later on.

Glen left the Amex around 6.30 driving his car, as we were outside the North stand, as he drove out of the car park, likewise Pocognoli and Uwe.
