How weird. You'd think with the health monitoring they're under, it would be impossible.

That said, I remember one of the Italian clubs (Milan maybe?) used to be famous for sending their new players in particular for dental work as part of their pre-season preparation.
It’s neglectful actually. There is a proven link between heart and dental hygiene. If one was to get a tooth/gum infection it can go very quickly to the heart.

Rashford is also from whythenshawe, he turned out ok. Morrison is just a bad seed
Rashford is more than just ok as a footballer. Among several thousand people who unlike me have managed to make football their profession, he is one of a select few who could command a fee well above £50m to do it.

Just making PL level is impressive enough, wether you are from Wythenshawe or Bagdad. If you are a so called bad seed, even more so.

It will be a great thing if he finally realises his potential no matter who he plays for now and it would probably better for him to not return to Manchester as that would surely be a trigger for him to lose the plot again.
I just love it when you see a footballer that has an air and grace and balance moving across a pitch and looking like he was born to play football and this guy definitely had it.

He regularly returns to Manchester. As he’s 26 and not 18 anymore he’s most likely have grown up a bit. Not sure if you’re aware but generally people mature and make better decisions, not everyone but most people anyways.

He’s not mature enough for me and it seems like he still has a screw loose.

Sounds like his departure from Ostersunds was exaggerated by the media. Good luck to him at Sheffield United, hopefully he can make something of himself.

Having mental health issues isn’t down to maturity.
If you’d ever encountered him, which I doubt, you’d be able to find out how he actually is, not how he’s portrayed on the Caf and the media. Lad is a typical lad from wythenshawe, probably had a tough upbringing and has struggled to find the right path to choose once he got picked up by United. Superb footballer but flawed person. If Sheffield Utd get him playing on a regular basis and he’ll do well for them. If he can continuously apply himself he’ll be picked up by a better club. Applying himself on a regular basis is his major issue. He’s not been in trouble with the law for over half a decade, yet some people can’t let that go and actually make crap up about what he actually did or didn’t do.

I’ve encountered him on a night out. Seemed sound. However him and his friends were involved in a kick off with another group. No blows just a group argument.

Listen lad. I’m not stupid enough to write such a comment without being able to back it up. Ive met the dude and as one of his big admirers I then lost all respect for him. I have posted on a thread dedicated to him I’ll have you know. I met him in JD sports in Stratford about 2-3 years ago. I said hello Ravel how are you and he told me to feck off so before you jump down my throat take a look at my previous posts on him before commenting. Silly tool.

I am well aware that with age comes maturity but as you have stated sometimes that is not the case and it seems pretty obvious to me that whatever problems he has had he would not fit into the normal life of a young footballer.
I do not know if you are aware but some people who are in the media spotlight find it hard to mature and grow up as the y experience different things from the normal person

Maybe he’d had a bad day? Telling a stranger to feck off doesn’t necessarily constitute having ‘a screw loose’ for me.

You sound a bit like that yourself in this post, to be honest.

Yes it kind of does, doesnt it. It isnt normally what you throw in there for first contact.

When someone calls you out on here without knowing why you’ve said what you said I think it’s perfectly reasonable to respond in the way I have. However I wish you a lovely day mate

Thank you for backing me up on that. As I’ve said in previous posts of Ravel Morrison I grew up watching the lad and thinking what a player. My eyes lit up when I saw him in JD sports that day. By that time I believe he was playing his football in obscurity and I just said hello. I always wanted him to do well and I still do I suppose. But I don’t think he will because he has an attitude problem. The guy who said maybe he was having a bad day or saying feck off when someone says hello doesn’t constitute a screw loose then I give up on this thread. Is that what the world is coming to? Trying to be polite and I get told I’m wrong? Bloody hell.

I’m not your lad, nor am I a tool. I’d suggest you grow up before you go round making up silly stories about people on the internet.

Plenty of footballers get into issues whilst out on the town. Plenty of big lads out who want to bang out a celeb to boast to their mates about, or they get their knickers in a twist as the person doesn’t want to be their mate and give them an autograph.

He didn't even make the bench yesterday.
Don't think he's had much of a pre-season, from what I've read he was never going to be ready this weekend. I think it might be a few weeks until we see him feature.

You then followed it up with how similar things have happened when you approached other footballers. The common denominator was you, and judging from the other thread you're likely just an annoying twat who they have no interest in speaking to.

I saw Ravel Morrison at Sainsbury's in East London three or four years ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

You don’t know what happened in the lead up to that meeting , family member ill, bad news, a meet with another person just before hand shouting abuse at him. I’m not defending him I’m just saying there could be a reason. It’s doesnt make him having a screw loose.

Bit harsh. But that’s okay. I’m here for you if you ever need me.

Go crawl back under your rock little boy, if Ravel is telling you to feck off, says a lot more for you rather than him :lol:
And you are what’s wrong with this world. This little boy goes to Old Trafford a few times a year, if the finances allow it. You on the other hand are based ‘down under’ I’d expect nothing better from a moron like you. Now feck off and go to bed before daddy gets home.

Think I'd tell you to feck off if I met you too.

Most people even if they feel shitty dont open with that line. I have defended him here many times as I am sure he has had a hard time growing up but most people answer other peoples greetings and openings with a fairly simple opening themselves before asking for them to be left alone.
