Mmm not sure about this ?

Remember Mariner doing this in Switzerland 78'! Who went out in St Etienne and got caught, fined, but all charges dropped after the result!

Smoke and fire

Maybe he went to see our shirt sponsor playing one of his gigs in Larnaca? Good excuse?

It would be better if our 'fans' just shut up.
Support our number 1
Small-town egos at play, actually they are lucky our GK even showed up..

We have a good keeper. Be decent and support our save of the month man.

Divs will be divs.

As has been mentioned the lads in our greatest team under our greatest Manager broke curfews all the time. Are we labelling the likes of Butcher, Mariner, Osman, Beattie etc wrong uns? Calm down. He’s young and went to a club when he wasn’t supposed to? I really don’t care.

He's probably earns more in a week than most people on here earn in a year and people are sticking up for him...think about it!

RobsonWark… so how much you earn dictates how well you have to behave? He’s accused of doing something footballers have been doing since forever, including some of our greatest players. That high horse you are sitting on, is it a Suffolk Punch btw?

Was surprised that Town only went for one keeper in the transfer window and was surprised with the amount Town payed for Muric.

Not impressed with his debut but now up,for save of the month in the same game and had a solid game against Fulham.

Early days yet

Been following twtd for 32 years, was a god send when I moved to Edinburgh, has kept me connected to the club I love. However, some of the utter codswallop spouted by the posters beggars belief. I'm not convinced by Muric yet, I think there is a top prem keeper in him but it's 50-50. As it is with most of our signings, we are banking on their progression. So having an online (aren't we brave?!) pop at him for this? Ave a word. Unless it affects his progression at town...who gives a f**k? Mindless puppets.

Our only possible concern should be his discipline and performances at our club, nothing else assuming he does nothing terrible whilst on international duty. Until and unless that happens, for the love of Beattie, please shut the funk up and leave him alone.

Some of these comments fail to understand how elite sport has moved on from, say, Robson's days. There is very little room for Gascoyne-style lifestyles in PL football any more and Muric certainly isn't talented enough to warrant much slack anyhow. Also, our owners are especially strong on these issues. And his current argument -'it ain't true mate' - is not, to put it politely, convincing. He's in for some hard weeks, I think.

Yawn...you give a young bloke a great big pile of cash and then tell him he can not enjoy his short time on earth because he has to be devoted to club and country 24/7, no wonder so many young elite sport people are messed up, they need to let off steam like the rest of us...and the high minded wowsers claiming that drinking is bad for you on the job should remember that when the channel tunnel was being built the french tunnel workers were allowed to drink alcohol with their meals at work and recorded no deaths digging their half, but the british workers were banned from drinking on site with meals and 6 workers died digging their half of the tunnel.............

With all the good thats going at the club i find it astonishing that people will take a negative story without much in the way of facts and seem to enjoy it. I remember Hladkys early days at the club and it was far from impressive it took time! It may take time before we see how good Muric is. Think i would like to see Walton get a run!

I think with how teams set up in the Prem compared to so many who played a low block against us in the championship, playing out from the back may not be as crucial for a keeper to be so skilled with his feet.

Said this before and I stand by it. The moaners have had very little to complain about for 2 1/2 years, so when a few crumbs like this come along they're all over it.
It's taken us 22 years to get back here, we've got one of the best young coaches in Europe, we've the best CEO (my opinion) in football, we've got an ownership that's backing them to the hilt through investment and allowing them to do their jobs without interference and we have some very exciting young playing talent that will develop under KM. So why not adopt the policy of "If you can't be positive about a story, shut up!"

The only known facts are that he was expelled from the squad for breaking rules. The Kosovo FA must have been aware that this expulsion would result in unwanted publicity, so they must have been sure that rules had been broken. Muric says the decision was unfair and that the rumours are untrue but If he has nothing to hide he can say what he is alleged to have done wrong and give his version of events.

Its ridiculous to compare premiership footballers with players from the 70s/80s. There was a significant drinking culture back then. Much less emphasis on diet. If you could do the business on the pitch then generally all was ignored/tolerated/forgotten. Evidenced in hundreds of autobiographies out there (Brazil, Mcgrath, Robson, Wark etc).

Modern footballers don't just have a manager and a coach. They have dieticians, nutritionists, councillors, addiction specialists to advise them. From the moment they arrive at the club(whether youth or senior player) they are provided with education. Health and fitness, media interpersonal skills, financial knowledge.

Not really a surprise that there are fewer stories, less pictures of players getting battered in bars in Marbella or the infamous Dentist Chair in Hong Kong.

Some players in the National Conference North/South are earning Forty thousand+ on top of whatever else they may do for a living. Modern footballers in the professional leagues are paid an incredible, insane amount of money and are in a privileged position.

So you would expect them to know better and act accordingly to retain said position.

Leave the lad alone and go and read the Beattie and Mariner books.

I’m a class A moaner but I like to make my complaints based on some reason and facts. I thought Cook was out of his depth and said so and was proven correct. I wasn’t happy about being owned by a pension fund and moaned but happily I’ve been proven wrong. Getting upset because a young man went to a club? If it was him getting hammered until 3am the night before a game for us I’d be on his case perhaps…. But the level of head up arsenal comments on here about this beggars belief. He gets my support until he’s done something that warrants not getting it. A bad debut and a getting back late from a night out is not even close to something we should be on his case about. I get the feeling some on here have taken against him and can’t wait to slag him
Off

the small town attitude of some of the "fans" on here will not keep us up.

Disappointing if true.

Professionalism should always be at the forefront of anybody’s career.

Different gravy....players are no better for all their crystal therapies and.Massages and gluten free studs than the players that drank decades ago, and its a basic workers right that you do what you want in your own time, your employer doesnt own you...

No Bobble. Im not sure what line of work you are involved in. I personally know people whom have faced the consequences of extra curricular actions and lost their jobs. Many businesses stipulate what is expected of their employees outside of work hours. Footballers have a short career in comparison to say, someone in office administration. So the employee (club) usually have a strict code of conduct to adhere to in order to get the most from their asset regardless if it may sound unfair or extreme. Hence why footballers are not out betting(Toney aside), clubbing or boozing on a Friday night (because they would be dropped and eventually sacked).

I have simply stated that players have considerably more support, education and information around them as opposed to footballers of the 70s/80s, FACT, and that, given the amount of support, education and information they really should know better. Which appears to be the case considering very few are gracing the back pages for drink related issues.

I fairly criticized Muric on the ridiculous goal(s) he gifted to Man City. I would lambast a Sunday league goalkeeper for trying to dribble past a player never mind a premiership keeper. All we know about the above story is that he has been expelled for reasons which Muric denies and, until such time as we know the full story, Im prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I'm sure that KmcK will get to know exactly what happened and deal with any rough edges that Muric has or has not. With his support and leadership and that of his team mates, Muric will soon know exactly what is expected of him.
