I'm thinking a few counselling sessions with you might help me. Shall I PM you for an appointment?
Ha...you can sit in on my CBT if you want? What you do with your crown jewels is your own business.

I've really got nothing against Sinclair (aside from the dodgy haircut and sweatbands),he seems a nice enough bloke who's done well for himself.
He has,however,always struck me as a guy who needs constant attention,reassurance whatever you want to call it.He can hit the heights for a spell then completely disappear.He was always around the England unders teams but could never make the step up to full international.Why is that?
The guy is a senior pro but is afforded much more leeway on here than less experienced guys and that baffles me.

Sometimes I ask myself how many of those ridiculing family issues as a factor affecting working life are parents themselves; regardless of your profession, your family comes first... above all.
Yeah life can be a bitch but you just have to get your shampoo together and get on with it..no? The guy plays football for a living. If he puts in a passable effort at training, which I assume he does,he only really needs to get his shampoo together for a max of three hours a week. If he's on the pitch and can't beat a man because he's not on it because his missus ain't great,his mate died recently or his pal Stu ain't in the team he should put his hands up and say this ain't for me. We could all sit here swap tales of woe about how shampoo our lives have been but very few of our employers/customers would give a shampoo. He is paid handsomely,he is under performing and his private life is his problem. This may come across as harsh but people in low paid jobs would get their baws rattled if they just dipped out at work,but sympathy should be extended to guy who gets paid over a million quid a year to do something thay love? I'm sorry life don't work like that,not in my world anyway. People in jobs in other walks of life do get time off/support etc for things affecting them into their personal life.
But as he said several times himself, he's very happy at Celtic and in Scotland.
His 'psychiatric needs' seem to have been ascribed to him by people who I'm guessing have never said a word to him or listened to what he's said.

A: not a parent; or

I'm leaning towards B. but the evidence is a bit sketchy.

The guy is a senior pro but is afforded much more leeway on here than less experienced guys and that baffles me. To be honest, I can see both sides of the opinions on Sinclair, I don't believe either side of the argument are totally wrong - or right.
Last season he was infuriatingly erratic, although on the poor side for most of it. People use the argument of how many goals he scored, however, if truth be told, he should have doubled that tally given the amount of chances - good chances - he missed. His misses in front of goal, when on the end of a cross, has been Brattbackesque. Absolutely woeful. You'd need to be a Saint not to have cursed him.
Also, he is a professional footballer, earning a wage we could only dream about so there is an expectation level that has to be attained and maintained. Footballers get homesick, miss their families the world over, lose people who mean a lot to them and, in general like the rest of us, can hit a mega downer.
Somehow, we as fans, must find some middle ground to build up a better picture of the scenario and make a reasoned judgement on the player himself.
If things don't improve for him, on and off the pitch next season, then he may be a luxury we can't afford and it may, possibly, be in the best interests of both parties if he was to move on.
I am just hoping and praying that this year he'll return to the player he was … I'm not convinced he can though!

He's happy as effin Larry. Ever read or hear the words that come out of his own mouth? Or his partner's?
That might help you build up a picture rather than playing amateur psychologis on a football forum based on him missing some chances or a slump in form.
No one wants Stuart Armstrong on the KDS black couch and yet he was evidently less happy at the club than Sinclair.

The reason I spoke about it was because many others have mentioned it, it has been a recurring topic when discussing his form, has it not?
If I have annoyed you by using the word 'psychiatrist' and you believe that I'm playing 'amateur psychologies' then I shall do my best to refrain from posting in such a manner, forthwith.
It's good when people constructively criticise one's annoying traits/faults and I thank you, most sincerely, for that.

Can't see Scott being shipped out this summer. He deserves another season to see if he can regain early form. Another like last, then I guess its time up.
Worryingly, I don't think I've ever seen such a dramatic decline in 12 months in a Celtic player. Star of the team to supporter whipping boy. Read somewhere this was his pattern at previous clubs. If so, he'll be out the door in January/next summer for £3-4m.
Hope not, as he's a real force when playing well.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepIf he's on the pitch and can't beat a man because he's not on it because his missus ain't great,his mate died recently or his pal Stu ain't in the team he should put his hands up and say this ain't for me.
We could all sit here swap tales of woe about how shampoo our lives have been but very few of our employers/customers would give a shampoo.
He is paid handsomely,he is under performing and his private life is his problem.
This may come across as harsh but people in low paid jobs would get their baws rattled if they just dipped out at work,but sympathy should be extended to guy who gets paid over a million quid a year to do something thay love?
I'm sorry life don't work like that,not in my world anyway.
IMO, you are either: A: not a parent; or B: not a Tim. I'm leaning towards B. but the evidence is a bit sketchy.
I've got three kids mate 18,15 and 9.Held a season ticket for ten years mid 90's onwards and again for the last two seasons. I think your name might be Helen but AllTheWine is just edging you out on that one. Eh?

I seem to remember the same sort of thing happening to Izzy and Lee Naylor, once they won POTY their form nose-dived. Na, neither were the stars of the team.
And Izzaguirre's decline from his exceptional form was due to a serious ankle injury and he got to a good level after. Naylor was always average to good. No more than that.

ffs you read some total shampooe in here, the guy had a poor season compared to his first but still contributed with goals and assists, he's also from what i've read never complained about anything and has only ever said how happy he is up here and his mrs has said the same thing...too many kerrydale street pretend psychologists coming out with rubbish theories and wrongful diagnosis about him.
Believe it or not there will be a bigger challenge this season from them and that will bring out the best in Sinclair and a few others that didn't quite hit the mark last season.
