George Best smoked like a chimney and drank and ate whatever he wanted, it might have killed him in the end, but I don't seem to remember it affecting his football.

My point was it didn't affect his game so it shouldn't affect Mcsheffery's

So smoking has no effect on a players condition?

McSheffrey looked bolloxed Saturday. I beg to differ

The game is much more fast-paced now and not the same.

It is amazing that Mcsheffrey is the only person in the world who shouldn't be affected by smoking!

I was in the Dev Sunday night, and I was contemplating going to the Oak but I'd already had enough so I got a curry from the Imran Balti instead.

As for the team being on the piss, I'm not privvy to their actual training times and days they actually do train, however, maybe it was agreed with Thorn in advance that they could have the Monday off due to them going to a Christening on the Sunday? I personally think Thorn has missed a trick in the art of man management and getting the best out of his players, because if I knew there was a Christening and the lads wanted to go, I would have told them their performance against Forest would dictate whether or not I would be having them in Monday morning. As we now know, their performance meant they would have been in, but if they knew beforehand they may have got the Monday off if they performed well, maybe, just maybe the kid who scored the 1st goal totally unchallenged, he may have got a kick on the ankle before he got any where near our goal?

As for footballers smoking, I personally don't agree with it, but then I don't like smoking full stop. I know a few years ago my cousin was stood yards away from Rooney in an Ibiza nightclub and he said he was proper "chaining it", sparking up within minutes of putting one out. Now I don't believe Rooney has lived up to the hype in an England shirt, he has had one good tournament and that was when he was an unknown 18-year old. If anybody doesn't think chain-smoking affects an athletes performance long term then I beg to differ.

This thread is the most bizzare I've EVER read!!

11 pages on the possiblity of Sheffers being in an unlikely place having a cigarette whilst being on the lash, 5 days prior to our next match.

I'm sure if he smokes in moderation it isn't going to interfere too much. Actually, Sheffers, whilst having a bit of a mixed season, has been one of the stand out players when on form. In fact, he's now the clubs top scorer isn't he? To compare him with Fat Freddie (Bam-Balam) is mental!!

Had there been evidence published of "Gary's 10-a-day Secret" or "McShufty Performs The Truffle Shuffle in Jaks Friday Prior To Forest 6-Pointer" then I would understand the out-rage. Seriously... we have no idea on Thorn's training schedule and we have as much information on Macca's dirty habit.

Hear say nonsense!! Up there with the Mackem's Hate Cov thread on their forum.

OK... I'll bite.

If he limits his smoking to... say, a rare treat, the effects will be unnoticable. Not everyone has such little control overthemselves that, once they have a cigarette they're instantly hooked on 200 a week. I think, we can probably afford him the benefit of the doubt.

If you are going to respond. Please respond to my full post. Are you a journalist?

Jon Gaunt has just tweeted that PUSB should now stand for Pissed Up Sky Blues. He's a proper dickhead is Gaunt, but I think he may just be right on this.

Have you ever smoked yourself?

If he is smoking when he is drinking alcohol, then it is highly likely that he smokes whenever he drinks and that this is not a one off.

Also, the effects from smoking will not be unnoticeable, especially considering he is a professional sportsman.

Actually, I do smoke. I have the discipline to know when and when it isn't appropriate. For example, when I am with certain company, I won't smoke. All it takes is will power to control that habit.

I smoke because I enjoy it, but I have the self control to not let it interfere with my life. For example, I don't believe it appropriate to smoke around my daughter (rightly or wrongly) and my wife can't stand it, so when I am at home, I simply don't smoke.

Again, we can probably afford him the benefit of the doubt.

How does it help an argument? It was just what he has tweeted. I am not a fan of him at all.

I am sure you must have moaned at some point about the lack of fitness coach, which now is no longer an issue.

Maybe you can patent something which allows people not get addicted to nicotine?

If he was a Sunday League player, I would agree that it wouldn't affect him too much, he is a professional sportsman, it is going to have an effect upon his performance.

Gaunt is a complete prat in my opinion, but I agree with that. Similarly to Richard Shaw, he was bloody hopeless, but it didn't mean he didn't have a decent game every now and again.

Addiction is about control. You either control it or you don't. It's choice.

That doesn't mean it's not difficult to control... but it certainly is not impossible.

Just because Spooki didn't see him smoking, it doesn't mean he wasn't. I care not a jot either way, I'd gone home before the Oak because I didn't want to do 2 weeks consecutive in there completely jarred up.

HAHA CLASSIC.

You can smoke in more than just one place in the Oak not just the smoking shelter... So either the first time poster was stalking watching Gary Mac all night or someone who knows him has miraculously seen the thread and decided he must post something.

This site is brilliant.

Maybe you could be an advisor to the NHS? I am sure top doctors would be interested to learn a lot from you.
