This is a pisstake surely?
What a bunch of absolute bullshit.
You need balance - though not quite the old days where if you went to the birth you were sacked from your job or dropped from a football team (which is what happened). You have responsibilities to your employer.
What I didn't like about Brown's case is he tried to have his cake and eat it. He should never have left Newcastle if he had any doubts about his wife's condition - if he went with the team he should have seen the match out. He is probably showing off his new kid to friends and family overseas but as said before - how much time do you need?
Anyway - we've already had this argument and I'm with Dunster as he is of the same vintage as me!

How is it bullshit ?
The list of persons who are elite in their fields that didn't put their careers first will be a very short list.
Jesus Christ, he's a few days late to pre-season training which the club appear to have sanctioned. Let it go ffs.
The bloke clocked off after he secured a contract extension from the club. He's been on holidays ever since.
Anyone who takes fewer than eight weeks off a year is a fool. In my opinion.
It's quite standard for enterprise agreements to give workers the option of buying an extra four weeks a year.
With every further post I'm regretting agreeing with Member
It not about being a few days late
It about the club setting it's expectations as being anything less than 100% commitment to the cause
We have Petratos who has only recently signed can front up in Newy for the first session even though he wasn't required
Yet we have another bloke 12k miles away
What sort of issues you think having one rule for one bloke and another rule for the rest causes??
Like he ain't even the ****ing star player getting preference either
Says a lot about his commitment to the club
Listen to this feminist
ffs, get ya fatass into training browntown. He has to make up for a sh1t season last yr as well.

Why are you worried if Brown is late. I hope he is super late and does not turn up. He not exactly set the A league on fire. i think he had what one, two decent games, the rest would not get a start in a decent NPL side.
Yeah agree 250%....And after 7 years ish season without finals football it's time to commit 250%....we talking making A-Aleague reaching top leagues here, time to show it.... 250% professional .... u think clubs in Europe, South America and Even Asia.. care about weddings , kids... blah blah blah ???? ... helloooo, We doing Brown, Kokko.. and co a favour, they make their money from football, no one else willing to pay them that good so let's be honest here, so give us respect and commit 250%.. So i agree with The membah here.....

For the record I don't give a **** what Brown is doing and I don't really rate him. But to say that a person can only reach their full potential if they "forget about anything else such as family which will only distract you" is surely a joke?
Messi, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Manny Pacquiao, Jason Day, Casey Stoner. **** even Obama. I realise for each of these there is a single bloke doing just as much but are you honestly saying these blokes would have done so much more if they didn't have a mrs and kids? **** me.
If you're good at something you are good at something. And vice versa. Regardless of your personal situation.
Yes - there is that.
Maybe he is looking for a club in the July window!
And Tiger Woods...oh wiat

I did almost mention him.. And at how his career has gone after riding himself of such family distractions haha.

His career though went down hill when his body packed it in
After his knee blew out he changed his game constantly to compensate
Never got it back to the same level
His sex dramas are just a convenient sub plot to the fact his knee and back are ****ed
I'm talking about what these people are really like not what you think they are like from reading Woman's Day magazine.
I'll put it in these terms - do you think each of those in your list are as good at being a husband and parent as they are in their chosen field ? And by as good I mean world class not average / normal.
The last person the media tried to make out as being worlds best on the golf course and off it was Tiger Woods - and we all saw how that ended.
You are also forgetting about the massive sacrifices these kids parents made to get them to the top - the majority of them would have put their own lives on hold especially wrt tennis, motorcycling, and golf.
Everyone on your list is or was a selfish khunt and to think otherwise is deluded.
