Millar slates Self-congratulatory
Love-in
Self-obsessed
MJH players should drop their cocky over-confidence, fawning self-worship
and team baiting and stay focused on actually winning something, says
Nicholas Millar. He maintains the sycophantic backslapping makes a mockery
of the club's tradition of humility...
MJH players have been
falling over themselves to praise each other after the 4-0 victory over
Rubber Dubbers. Despite leaving it to the last game to avoid relegation,
the players are acting as if they’ve just won the World Cup.
Someone give me a sick bag.
This type of fawning is
typical of footballers, who think every time someone has a good game they
are ‘world class’ or whenever the team plays well they become ‘the best’
or ‘one of the favourites’.
This trend for self-obsessed
narcissism pervades all aspects of football, with the most arrogant
example being players releasing autobiographies when they’re still
playing. Just like the recent spate of vainglorious comments, such
behaviour is jumping the gun.
What happened to being humble in
victory? Since when did MJH become a club that brags about its success
before even achieving anything?!
The club is so full of players
boasting about each other’s ability that’s it’s hardly surprising that the
first part of the season was so atrocious. Perhaps the players should keep
their sycophantic platitudes in check until they’ve actually won
something?
If the team is still in the top division at the end of
next season and there are trophies in the cabinet then that is the time to
start celebrating. Hopefully, any celebrations will be in the humbler MJH
tradition, though based on this season’s evidence, I sincerely doubt
it.
