The photo "snub" 09:31 - Aug 28 with 10752 views | ITFC_96 | What I find so incredibly bewildering and disrespectful, is that the youngsters were told to come down for what is essentially a CHARITABLE photograph for the NHS, and then told they weren't in it. How in any way could this be "tough love" or appropriate in any way? It is alienating and rude. Just incredible. |  | | |  |

The photo "snub" on 11:31 - Aug 28 by JammyDodgerrr | Just think it's a story out of nothing, don't you? I'm happy to be wrong, and if Lambert has genuinely done this, then he is a tool. But i just don't get it. |
Herbs has seen another stick to beat Lambert with. But yeah, for most sane people it's kind of a shrug of the shoulders. Either that or Lambert is a vindictive asshole, which I find unlikely. |  |

The photo "snub" on 11:39 - Aug 28 by BloomBlue | When I look at that photo another 5 people in it would make the letters N H & S totally unbalanced as it is the S is slightly out of line (taller) with the N and the H. I think removing 5 from it made sense |
So ditch some of the nine backroom staff who are in it? |  | |  |

I didn't say only you did I? I was just replying to a specific post. Not surprised you're one of those reading 'bad man management' into it though. I wonder if you'd have the same hot take if Mick had done it (particularly as we don't know the reason why yet). |  |

You singled me out and suggested most people think it's a non-story. Have a look at the forum, mate. You're wrong. A lot of people think this is really poor from Lambert. |  |

I said most sane people think it's a non-story. There's a difference. There's already part of it shown to be wrong (Joe said they turned up for the photo and were excluded, which Phil has confirmed isn't the case). |  |

When did you become the judge of who is and isn't sane, Dollers? I think characterising people who don't agree with you as not being sane is pretty crass, as well as not being remotely accurate. |  |

The photo "snub" on 09:54 - Aug 28 by TheTrueBlue1878 | But the photo was great, what I am saying is where do add 5 more players to the NHS sign without messing up that picture, because it was a fantastically well done picture. I also guarantee it won't be Lambert dictating who stands where in a photo, and how many people would be needed to make the sign. People reading too much into this, without knowing too much about it. |
From the story on the front page of the website: "We understand the quintet were told by manager Paul Lambert at the training ground earlier in the day that they wouldn’t be included in the group shots or have individual photos taken." So how are the individual photos explained away? Camerman didn't have enough film in his camera as only bought a 24 roll and not a 36 one.... |  |

The photo "snub" on 12:24 - Aug 28 with 802 views | SouperJim | Contrast this thread with the one from the other day about Brett McGavin being subbed 15 minutes into the second half against Spurs and clearly being upset about it. Everyone was willing to give Lambert the benefit of the doubt then, but leave a couple of youngsters out of an NHS tribute photograph and the world is ending? I find it odd that people are wetting the bed over something like this, with no knowledge of what the decision making was, who made it or how it was communicated. It's just the latest opportunity to shout "It's a disgrace" and let's worry about the facts later. |  |

Could have removed the ‘staff’ and had it solely made up of players. |  |

You initially told us they turned up for the photo and were told then they weren't required. Are you going to admit you got that wrong? Simple error or did you just add it into the story to make it juicier? |  |

No, it's you being a bit of prick if we're being honest. I gave you the benefit of the doubt yesterday given you had a lot on your mind but you seem to be continuing with a similar approach today. Shame really. |  |

It’s the official squad photo for 2020/2021. They also weren’t included in having their photos done individually. Also some of them haven’t been given a squad number nor have some of them had their names printed on the back of their shirts for the pre-season games, talk about singling the poor lads out. They’ve been involved with the first team so at least should be given a number and made to feel part of the squad. Lambert has said they’re likely to be involved once the season starts. Lambert is a to€€er it but it’s ok because he says the fans are great and buys pints. [Post edited 28 Aug 2020 12:44]

I just reported the story that was in the EADT, maybe have a word with Stuart Watson if you doubt that story https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/itfc-snub-quintet-for-squad-photo-1-6812650 It’s understood that Idris El Mizouni, Armando Dobra, Corrie Ndaba, Aaron Drinan and Brett McGavin all turned up for the photo call at Portman Road but were told by manager Paul Lambert that they weren’t to be included. The young quintet were also told that they will be playing for the Under-23s in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Norwich this evening (5pm), rather then being involved in tomorrow’s first team friendly at League Two side Cambridge United (1pm). |  |

Yes, from which I assume he read from the EADT article as that’s what it said. |  |

No, you're being a bit of a prick by questioning people's sanity if they think differently to you. Yesterday it was questioning people's honesty and whether they are real fans, today it's questioning their sanity. It's not really cool, Dollers. |  |
