Mrs Davis has a baby Sunday 22:47 - Apr 14 with 5325 viewsWallingford_Boy

And Mr Davis can’t play in a critical footy match two days later?

Eh?!

Am I being heartless?

Fk me. Assumptions? His missus has had a baby. He’s allowed time off to be with her. Assumptions… Wally with his benefits…

No wonder this country’s fecked if we don’t even value things like bringing a new life into the world. Have you all had empathy bypasses?

I’m out until sanity prevails lol.


Christ chill the f out!

Talk about over reaction!

It's been 2 days since the birth, you can't get them first days back with your newborn! If he's taken the decision he wants to spend those precious days with his family, then I think that makes him a pretty decent human. The type we could do with plenty of in our team. (Not saying the rest of the squad aren't decent!)

Under employment law, he’s technically entitled to two weeks paid paternity leave.
You would expect it, what makes him different?

Seeing the birth of your child, being with your partner and experiencing that is the single greatest thing I’ve ever experienced in life, but them first few days particularly are some of the hardest.

Leif rightfully needs to be at home for that, with his partner, with his baby.

This is football, family is far more important. All the congratulations to Leif and his partner, and hopefully we will see him Saturday, possibly with a few bags under his eyes!

1. Being with and supporting your partner & newborn are far, far more important in life than playing football.

2. We managed 2 wins & a draw when Leif was absent through suspension in 3 recent games.

Find it strange that anybody wouldn't understand those things.

Somethings in life are more important than football. Family is most certainly one of the many.

He can only go by what was said.

Theres assumptions either way you look at it.


Ffs the state of people....he should probably have tucked himself up in bed and had a big old sleep while she was in labour too.

I don't think Leif being there would've made much difference. Even playing his best ever game in a Town shirt wouldn't have counteracted the complete disaster if a performance from his teammates.

I could zero paternity when mine were born, but that was a thousand years ago!


And society has moved on - which is a good thing.

You're making the assumption that he would have been straight down the tunnel and out of Fratton Park into his car, then driving at over seventy five miles per hour average speed (without getting stopped for speeding and remembering to pay the DART...)

This is on the assumption that wife and child are in Ipswich, Leif might have insisted on the baby being born in Newcastle...so as to maximise the distance from Wallingford.

I think being a professional footballer is a little different from stacking shelves at Waitrose!

Leif is entitled to Xmas day off, he doesn’t get it.

Anyway, you’re right to point out there may be complications, which I should have thought of before posting.


Leif isn't entitled to Xmas day off btw.

He was probably focusing on things that are way more important than football.

Not really responsible for his colleagues being awful on the night.

That's right. And assuming they are back home by now, he should have continued to sleep through the baby waking up / needing attention throughout the day and night. He has a partner, surely she can do everything, it's what she's there for after all, right?

As you say, the state of (some) people.

Leif missing isn’t why we generally play like that and rely on moments of quality to get by.

There are bigger issues.

You don’t know any of the circumstances. So it’s a bold call. But assuming a normal pregnancy and birth, you’d have a point, we know Roy Keanes views.

There’s 29 people wanting to signal their virtue. Who also don’t know the circumstances.

It wouldn’t be unreasonable to ask him to take 12 hours away to play (potentially) so it’s not an unreasonable point…, most fathers go to work two days after a birth, some mothers do some work that soon too!!

But you’d need context. Never stops the virtue mob though does it…, they’re better than you, and you’re evil, not because you are, but because it makes them feel good to hate, and get perceived social status.

How low must their self esteem be.

I’m sure McKenna and Leif and his Mrs probably made the right call, leave it to the player, it’s about managing relationships at the end of the day. And there’s less resilience these days socially, hence the number of downvotes from broken souls.

Leifs from the North, get a feeling there’s reasons, and he’d have liked to play, but couldn’t.

Pray for the 29 lost souls that need a hug.
