    Troy Deeney is a professional footballer playing for Watford, he earns 3.4 million per year. He gave an interview today where he was asked about pressure and said that watching his mum working three jobs to pay for Xmas was real pressure. I want to know why his mum is even working. What a tit.

    Was he referring back to his childhood by any chance?

    Pretty sure he was talking about when he was a kid And she had to go pay the bills . Think he had a rough enough upbringing .

    Not sure how you can’t comprehend what we was saying.

    The word ‘was’ was used a few times by him. Was. WAS.

    His mum is a feminist and refuses to earn less than a man in her family.


    Glass ceiling smasher.

    Or talking about his youth.


    Or marketing people told him to say it. Who gives whatyacallit.

    Yeah why didn't she just scrounge on the dole. What was she like giving her children work ethic. Silly woman

    OP has come a little undone here, how embarrassing

    Maybe she likes to keep busy?

    He’s had a bit of a ‘mare there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,029 ✭✭✭xabi

    What a moronic post. A pro footballer showing some humility and grateful for whay he has now and still someome manages to put a downer on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,029 ✭✭✭xabi


    It came across as his mum is still working three jobs

    I was curious as to why Troy Deeney was popping up in After Hours.

    OP has had a Ric Flair.

    Apparently she dropped him from her fantasy team and he put her back to work.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭smilerf

    So he said 'is', but meant 'was', and you said 'was' but meant 'is'....

    Are you making a late claim for the over the top reaction of the year award?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,865 ✭✭✭Peatys


    Time for bed op.. and the rest of ye


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,646 ✭✭✭washman3


    The issue for me here is how a footballer at Watford can earn 3.4 million a year. Watford..??? FFS. The world has definately gone bananas.
    Is this guy actually any good.?
    Why would any player feel pressure at Watford. Is there actually something expected of them? The mind boggles. :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,187 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    That's the mandatory dole bashing, I'd also like to mention Travellers are terrible people and all immigrants are in ISIS. That should complete this thread about a footballer's upbringing.

    Yeah, he definitely said "is" but I assumed he was referring to his childhood. Would be fairly pathetic if his mother was STILL working 3 jobs while he earned millions every year.
