They shouldn’t be out there having fun.
They’re out there to work ffs.
I pay a lot of money to go and watch this team and they’re out there on a jolly, having a laugh. Wouldn’t have happened under McKenna.
We are supposed to be a serious Premier League team, what sort of training is that?

I'll translate this as I am used to dealing with non-native speakers:
"No wonder our under-19s team lost if this is the example our first team are setting". |
'team' is singular so it should be: ... our first team is setting.
No, no. Please don't thank me. |  | | |

When correcting, one corrects to a certain extent, in order to improve.
One also leaves a couple (you didn't spot the other) of avenues open for discussion, and demonstrating that nobody is infallible.
Unless it's your god.
But it is our team, with identifiable members, hence ... not "a team", which would be singular. I posit. [Post edited 23 Jul 23:35]

Ooh, thanks, that's been one that always wound me up in Australia. My team were (or was) North Queensland, and the 'is-ing' used to really grind my gears.
However this authoritative piece from cambridge.org doesn't handle the empty condition:
"In terms of trophy maintenance, the Norwich collection is/are/???? polished every Tuesday." |  |

"collection / is", "collections / are", and a null collection is still "is":
"my collection of wasp stings is as small as NCFC's collection of trophies". | |
