    Yes, so nice in fact that they can't say no and have to keep multiples on the go.... isn't that right Nicky D??

      If I remember correctly it was something along the lines of "He's so nice, he's not like normal football players" blah blah blah Ad then within about 8 weeks she was like "He only ever calls me at 3am in the morning, why is he treating me like crap" blah blah blah.

      It was funny how things panned out, but some things he did were a bit dis-respectful.

      I saw it all first hand and I stil cheer for him on game day and hope he kicks some serious butt! As I said, his lack of respect for women doesn't change his performance on the park.

      I suppose it might become a bit of a problem when he gets a bigger profile (ala Nicky D).

      When it happened I always wondered if the club had any sort of influence as alot of the young guys (including this one) are plucked out of home at a young age and thrown into an environment that they haven't experienced before, living away from their parents and the guidence that comes with that.

      Meh, I dunno. I don't really care. But it is something to think about. I suppose boys will be boys.

        I don't reckon we (or the club) should care how they treat women, other than being disappointed, but problems arise when players think they have an inherent rite to treat others like crap, because "I play for the swans", that attitude brings the club into disrepute, to borrow a cliche.

        If they treat others like crap simply because they are young blokes who have no inter-personal or relationship skills, who cares... we all learn eventually.

          This doesn't make him a @@@@head does it? Just acting like most young people these days as they find their way through the relationship maze.

          It was no diferent when I was younger. (Does that make me sound old?)

            I used to knock my girlfriends around, steal money from their wallets and sleep with their friends when I was young. Who didn't? Boys will be boys.

              I wasn't that bad, but I couldn't keep a girlfriend for more than 6 weeks without getting bored and looking elsewhere.

              It must have taken him 8 weeks to realise that he didn't like her and maybe even for her to get the hint.

                    lol..yes it does make you sound old!

                    It's abit of a generalisation to say 'most young people these days'. I think thats crap. If some guy rang me at 3am just for a shag I'd be telling him to bugger off.

                    Maybe I'm just naieve. I'd hate to be treated like that though.

                      Maybe that's the problem. Some girls like/are willing to be treated like this so the boys get away with it.

                      I agree with GS14 (or whoever it was) sounds like a general lack of experience in dealing with relationships. We all fumbled our way through late teens and early twenties. You learn and grow.

                        I mainly fumbled through fives and tens. They never carried twenties.

                          Maybe they hid them.

                            It's exactly that lack of trust that killed the relationships.

                              Maybe I should have said most young people. I don't think you guys are much different than we were in our late teens early twenties 20 odd years ago.

                                except now you can text 'wanna shag?' @ 3AM, as opposed to calling
                                and you can also break up via sms.
