Jerry Yates in Walkabout after the Hull game

According to legend, a certain Blackpool midfielder in the 50’s used to drink in the Farmers Arms on a Sat match day lunchtime. About an hour before kick off the pub phone would ring and the caller would ask the landlord to tell the player to get his arse down to the ground pronto as he was playing that afternoon.😀

At the end of the season, celebrating promotion or a play-off appearance, this is fine. At this stage of the season, it's inappropriate to behave like a self-glorifying clown, clearly pissed-up and wound up, in public. I suspect Critch feels the same, and I would even go as far as to guess that this might explain why Jerry's appearances have not been as common as we expected. It's obvious from many of the above responses that you will disagree with this, but I feel as very well-rewarded ambassadors of local football clubs, players have a duty to behave respectfully and to look after their bodies, as is required of professional sportsmen.

I like Jerry Yates very much as a player and love his enthusiasm, which is one of the reasons it saddens me to see him behaving in a way which might threaten his career, public image and standing in the game.

What if he has been given Hartlepool off and then a mid season break and allowed his belated Christmas/New Years do with his mates?

It's actually about a rejection of heaven as an idea.

You due, you reach heavens gates, St Peter is all "let's weigh your good deeds against your sin"

and the protagonist is rejecting it - he's essentially signalling that he doesn't believe in the Judeo Christian morality but a more down to earth pre Christian style of communal celebration, of seeking enlightenment in the shared imbibing of ritualistic brews.

"Jerry Yates" is a symbol of an archetypal everyman figure crossed with a shamanic guru who we're going to go "on the piss" with instead of seeking heavenly approval for our actions.

It's about seeking communion with our fellow mortals instead of living for abstract notions of heaven.

Happy to help.

The chant is biased and focusing too much on Christianity.

This doesn't even beging to recognise others who may be scientologists and heavens gates therefore aren't relevant.

What about.... "Xenu, who was a ruler of the galactic confederacy,
an ancient organization of 76 planets. Having existed for 20 million years, the planets were struggling from extreme overpopulation.

Fearing he’d be thrown out of power, Xenu gathered billions of his people, froze them to capture their souls (“thetans”), and transported them to Earth (then called Teegeeack) for elimination. He dumped them at the bottom of volcanoes and then destroyed them in a series of nuclear explosions, killing all but a few and sending their souls into the air.

Once in the air, the souls were captured by Xenu, who then implanted into them misleading information, including concepts related to all of the world’s religions.

They then went on the piss with Jerry Yates"

I'm not saying this is a good chant but needs a bit of work before it catches on....

I think he has been given the time off (Hartlepool) and will of been unable to drink all over the festive period like the rest of the population, the best time to have a night out and let his hair down with his mates, whom are very lucky to have gone on the piss with Jerry Yates. Totally professional in my book.

No, you misunderstand me. Nothing against him going out and getting bladdered, I'm worried by doing it in a place where there are plenty of other bladdered people, he can become a high(ish) profile target- only takes a few nobbers on a night out in the big city.....

So where can he sup ?

Can’t expected him to stay at home .

Most places you go to socialise have plenty of bladdered people in them

Take your point re nobbers though

I suppose somewhere where he is Mr. BigNightOut, not Mr No9Hero. He does have history in Manchester, does he live there?

He just needs to be careful. As I said in my first post, I'm sure someone at the Club will be pointing him in the right direction.

Sure he can handle himself and his mates too, can’t lock himself away because some nobber might start on him

Hazi. Fair enough. Let your hair down. I still think that players can fall prey to predatory elements these days, with so much social media, recording of incidents, etc. My gut feeling is that this kind of stuff captured on social media could do the lad a lot of harm, as he doesn't come across as a particularly mature, well-balance individual. If, on the other hand, he was delivering a coherent monologue on the ills of the consumerist society to a rapt audience of academics and government advisors, I would be all for it. Fact is, he looks a bit of a **. In public.

I get your points to a degree but I think I think he looks like a normal young man enjoying himself
 
I can't see Critch being that impressed when he sees that. If it was in the summer it wouldn't bother me at all apart from the risk of climbing on a table pissed . That's the time it's acceptable. Now in the middle of a finely balanced season then it's a no no from me.That's even before you factor in how many people he's hugged and the covid risk.
If that was say Ched Evans or someone they would be getting absolutely hammered on here.

Agree. I suspect Critch is, on the sly, a bit of a stickler for discipline. There is a steely intolerance of fools about his demeanour.
