I don't see a problem with having a beer/larger after the game, most likely its a days rest today (Monday) and then back training tomorrow.
All the players are under some pressure on and off the ice and thats when errors start to occur, this is the same team that started the season ( apart from Kudroc) with a good few wins with some smart tactical plays, Panthers are all fingers & thumps if you know what I mean.
I'm still of the opinion that the lack of settled lines is not helping the Panthers

I'm surprised the beers weren't replaced with McDonald's milk shakes, keep the sponsors happy. I'm sure they could have waited a couple of hours to start drinking. Not a great look in front of young fans really but at least they won the game.

Tell you what I'll ask Clarkie for you tomorrow night at the quiz if you want? There was me thinking we had a game on Wednesday night... Ahhh Yotes there lies another debate, I too was slightly shocked at having a night out before a match as the league fixture has always been there and the quiz night only booked a month ago. again that's GM that's books these nights , you can see where the priorities lie and maybe that's another question to be asked . can't see we'd get a decent answer tho' can you?

Don't worry about events before a league game, past players have been hammered in oceana the Morning of steelers games before so it's not like they ever worry about games getting on the way of a social event.

I'm against so much about the way this club is run at the moment, but can honestly that I didn't have a problem with the players having a beer post-game at the signing session last night. There's the appearance of professionalism (lack of) though Ted. Did they really have to drink in front of the fans? Can they not go an hour without a drink? Is there not someone at the club who is sensible enough to see the impression that gives and stop it? Not to mention, we have another game in 3 days. Did it stop at 1? Ive no idea how many they had after. I saw Lawrence with one beer, he wasn't guzzling it, he took the odd mouthful every now and again. We've all been around long enough to know players like a beer after a game. If they had another game coming up in a day or two then I'd have a problem. But two games in three days, four points and no game until Wednesday? I really don't see the issue at all. Let them have a beer.

Experience has taught me that when it really matters the only person you can rely on is yourself.

Club is an absolute joke. Not particularly bothered about the odd beer but it now appears there is little or no discipline. Neil Black is only interested in he Continental Cup. The Team is seriously average but nobody but the fans seem to care. Other than a night's entertainment the remaining league games are pointless, robbed of any value or excitement by the awfulness of recent performances. How many on here have any real appetite for Saturday's game?

Think seriously about your ST now. Not when we pick up a short stint of a competition at seasons end. A few games competition that will win another European adventure. Nothing against that but at what cost to our domestic game.

That is a team I could get behind.

RE: players drinking and smoking. 30+ years ago when there wasn't as much research behind it, it was common for 'athletes' to regularly drink and smoke (world stars such as George Best & Paul Gascoigne being perfect examples).
Now it's very much common knowledge that smoking and drinking has a very bad effect on your health, it's very much frowned upon for athletes to partake in either activity. With all the medical research undertaken, it's not even questioned that they both have a negative impact on a sports-persons ability to perform effectively... hence why now if today's stars are seen drinking or smoking it's plastered on newspaper front pages (recently Wayne Rooney & Jack Whilshere).
For the Panthers to promote drinking events with players isn't anything new but it's exacerbated by a recent extended-run of poor form & numerous reports of some players enjoying their alcohol and cigarettes a little too much.
The most concerning part for me is how relaxed the club are to players drinking. In pre-season they were posting photos on Twitter of all the players having a beer in sun, while teams like Sheffield were constantly trying to show how hard they were working on the ice to prepare for the season & CHL... not saying those beers in August are the only cause, but look how different our season (and past 3 seasons) have been for us to the Steelers.
We also have a very well noted recovering alcoholic part of the team who could have a lot of influence in the future for us. Who knows what contacts he has and who he could tempt over... so why not think a little more creatively about fan events than just standing in a bar/pub? I'm not trying to talk on behalf of McGrattan but I think it's a little disrespectful... Nottingham City has so much more to offer!
P.S. sorry for the football examples but it's the most obvious for us in the U.K.
