Can't really see the issue with it to be honest, other players have been going into schools and they will all be there on Thursday.

There isn't an issue. Just another example of getting hysterical over nothing and making stuff up.

The players were divided into different groups. Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu was the destination for Andrés Iniesta, Ter Stegen, Arda Turan, Vermaelen, Luis Suárez, Juan Carlos Unzué plus directors Silvio Elías, Pau Vilanova and Emili Rousaud.

The members of the squad that went to Hospital Vall d’Hebron were Neymar Jr, Alves, Douglas, Bartra and José Ramon de la Fuente, joined by directors Josep Ramon Vidal-Abarca and Jordi Moix. In turn, Piqué, Sergio and Joan Barbarà along with vice-president Manel Arroyo paid a visit to Hospital de Sant Pau and Bravo, Mathieu and Francesc Cos were accompanied by Jordi Calsamiglia and Enrique Tombas to Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol.

Hospital de Barcelona was honoured by the presence of Messi, Mascherano and Pepe Costa, plus vice-president Jordi Mestre, while the visitors to Hospital de Nens de Barcelona were Sergi Roberto, Masip, Luis Enrique, Joaquín Valdés and director Joan Bladé. And there’s more. First vice-president Jordi Cardoner took Adriano, Munir and physio Rafel Pol to Cottolengo del Padre Alegre and the Casa Ronald McDonald welcomed Rakitic, Jordi Alba, Edu Pons and director Xavier Vilajoana.


Finally, the Saló de la Infància was the destination of Sandro and Aleix Vidal, joined by the vice-president of the Foundation, Maria Teixidor. The two players joined in with a special FutbolNet match at a stand where children have meeting for such activities throughout the Christmas holidays. The children have not only been able to play football games, but also to take part in graffiti workshops and have their picture taken with the trebice.le trophies.

Well done to them. They obviously have enough ripped jeans already. Not like the selfish, shopping-obsessed members of CCFC.

No, you're wrong. I'm having a go at players on £000's a week, who can't take a hour or two from their day to give a lift (doesn't have to be gifts etc, just a visit) to sick kids in hospital.

You, on the other hand, have turned that around completely.

Hold on because of SISU I thought we hardly paid players anything. Anyway, the point still stands. CCFC players went to see kids in hospital which is great, you turned it into something as if the rest of the squad couldn't be arsed, so if that 100% a fact? if so, then I'll apologise.

so you can confirm they haven't done that. I don't remember seeing the article saying that this was the only pre Christmas visit by any of the squad.

I heard the rest of the squad wanted to go but Fisher made them go back down the mine under Ryton digging for coal.

Does it?

And there's only evidence 3 players visited a hospital, and according to Nick, Sordell's been a one man Santa, so what does that tell you about the rest of the squad?

No doubt, articles will be uploaded within the hour of the rest of the visits :eggonface:

Evidence? Well with such a serious issue you better get onto it smartish. What were the other players doing? Were they training or shopping for jeans? As we have nothing else to worry about this needs all our attention.

Do you have to do a FOI request to find out how much players donate of their salary to charity as I no-one has ever asked me that. Out of curiosity, how much do they donate and any ideas who the highest donator is ?.

When the club do something right (which isn't often) I will give them credit. This is one of those times.

Could they do more for charity, of course they could, but then again, I am sure we all could !

They usually all go. I seem to remember Reda was missing last year. Probably spent the afternoon in Top Man or Fosters. I think that's where footballers tend to go.

maybe not negatives but nothing wrong with suggesting how things could be better.

they players said they pooled together to buy some dvd players.

dvd player on amazon are as cheap 40quid some of them. say they bought 100.

thats 4000 quid. thats nothing for 20 plus footballers. 200 quid each?

obviously not concrete numbers before people get pedantic. just saying why i think there is room for improvement.

Not going to argue with you but you are being pedantic. They visited kids in hospital and bought things for the kids out of their own pockets. Nothing else really needs to be said.

I'm not getting defensive. Players turned up at hospital with present for the kids. Nothing negative, nothing that needs arguing about. But it seems that's not good enough for some. One says not enough turned up and you go into how much a DVD player costs. Doesn't need to be analysed.
