It looks as though Through the Seasons Before Us has got something of an exclusive, as a reader reports that several Forest players were out on the lash in a less than subtle way:

18 March, 2009 at 12:31 pmYou guys are p*ssed off?? Imagine being out in Nottingham last night at BZR, seeing half the forest squad P*s*ed out their tree being arogant and ignorant despite 5 – 0 at Burnly only days before. To be told in their by players that they don’t give a sh*t about the club or BD. They were an embarasment and should all be sacked!
In a later comment, Adam says that the players involved were Ian Breckin, Wes Morgan, James Perch, Robbie Earnshaw, Lewis McGugan, Luke Chambers (couldn’t have guessed that), Julian Bennett and possibly Guy Moussi, joined by a sober Leon Best who was discouraging the players from misbehaving.
Now obviously, we only have one side of the story so far, but Adam’s suggestion that the players said that they don’t care would be hard to refute. I wonder if Perchio was one of them, after his interview at the weekend?
If you look at it from a different perspective, a bunch of friends who are in their 20s and 30s who don’t have to work very much and go out to get drunk together is not that surprising. However, even as someone who tries to find balance in every story, I do think that they are foolish to go out on the town and be seen “enjoying” themselves in the wake of a disastrous week and a half (funny how these stories always emerge after a heavy defeat – I seem to remember the same happening after the 5-0 at Oldham). Sometimes, you would be better off keeping a low profile (especially in light of the manager’s “lifestyle” comments)…
