I think that the players,like all employees, are entitled to a Christmas do and this has probably been planned for this weekend for quite sometime. Very naive to plaster it over social media after such a poor performance today though admittedly.
We literally have a thread like this every single year when they have their christmas do. Get over it, the players are allowed to have fun when they're not working.
Something about the significance of the day and the shite performance they turned in makes this wrong though. And They’re professional footballers so getting hammered with cans in their charlton gear on a train is stupid and reflects badly on the club. IMO.
Do it, but don't plaster it all over the net. Johnnie should know better and now that he's part of the management team he should have had a word with the boys before hand, naieve and muggy.
why the need to go to Newcastle though? What's wrong with a room above the Dog and Duck, few beers and a curry?
Don't begrudge them a night out but plastering it on social media after such a shocking performance on an important day is a bit naive and stupid.
Won't complain if a lot of them don't come back.
Probably afraid people would post it on social media and take the piss (pun intended).
Is it Sir Clive Woodward who used to say that when players played poorly he'd send them away for a couple days to get it out of their system, and when they'd play well he'd try to get them back on the training ground straight away to build on it? I've always really liked that.
Something isn't working at the moment. I'm glad the squad seem to get on really well and hope they have fun tonight. I think we've all been on nights out that make us closer to friends or colleagues and that helps us work better together.
The fact that you can see it because it's on social media is purely indicative of the times and I think it's churlish if you object to that part. Think of what the Arsenal players of the 90s, or Giggs and Lee Sharp, or really any British player before about 1997 got up to, you just didn't see it. This is probably one of the few, if not the only night out on the lash for these young men. If they let bad performances stick with them for a week or until they had a chance to put it right they'd be awful at their jobs.
The only time I've ever been to Newcastle my Geordie mate got so drunk and petulant that I had to take him out of the awful jazz bar we were drinking ten quid champagne in. Took him to an awful chippy and bought him chips and a battered sausage because I'm a good friend.
He slapped me across the face with the sausage.
I'm a vegetarian.
When we got back to the bar I went to the toilet. He was sick in a pint glass. When I got back he said "here, I got you a drink" and handed me the sick pint glass.

Is anyone seriously that bothered about this. To them it's just a job, they're not Charlton fans so no i wouldn't expect them to be sat at home sulking with the curtains closed.
Ask yourself this, if you had a terrible day/week at work in the run up to your christmas party, would you decide not to go or would you think 'fuck it, i need a drink'

I normally go for a drink before, during and after work.
Bunch of wankers. Want to concentrate on putting some consistent performances together and improving their game. People spend fortunes travelling to watch them and whole weeks on here anticipating results which make or break weekends.
Game against promotion (ha!) rivals next weekend and a couple of hours after rolling over on an hugely special Charlton occasion and acting like they've won something.
They've achieved nothing and if they cared about the club anywhere near the empty lip service they churn out would not be out on the piss without a care in the world and pasting it up on social media.
Whoever arranged this is a lemon too.
Go and win stuff and you can go on the piss every night should you please. Until then act like the third rate footballers you are and focus on doing whatever it takes to not lose and improve your games.
Losing mentality and lack of expectation from top to bottom at Charlton in recent years.

I think it’s piss poor to be honest. If you want a session do at a private function. Not on a train like a stag do. And Lewis Page is the one to post it. A bloke whose spent 95% of his Charlton career injured and hasnt played first team football for months.
Get over it , if you have a bad day at work, what do you normally do? Go for a drink and forget about it. People getting hard ons and jumping on the players backs cause they're having their Xmas party which they planned months ago. We really do have a special bunch of fans don't we
I think it's just people's emotions. If we of had won yesterday I'm sure there wouldn't of been any problems.
It was just a disgusting performance from all bar Amos.
But yeah I'm with the majority, go out have a laugh, but don't post It all over social media, especially when it's an emotional day for the fans, and many of us will be hurting still.

Not sure most people act like that on a train though.

Posting it on social media after that result though is beyond idiotic.
Was this piss up on their minds during this afternoons match?

Don’t really see it as being a big deal tbh. But as others have said, maybe don’t post it on social media.
Just glad they didn't have any balloons with them............

What a silly silly club we have at the moment.

On the plus side they seem to be having fun.
Wonder if the management team went?!
