I’m sure the vast majority of people would love to be able to get a haircut at the moment, but there are bigger and far more important things to worry about than your barnet right now. I want to know how the vast majority of footballers are turning up to games with fresh haircuts, they all can’t have barbers and hairdressers in their family bubble.
On Friday Newcastle United striker Joelinton, I use the word striker in this instance lightly, decided it would be a good idea to post a picture of himself getting a haircut on his Instagram.
Having had to endure watching him try to play football for the last two years it’s abundantly clear he doesn’t have a footballing brain, it’s now very clear he doesn’t have a brain at all. I asked myself exactly how fucking stupid do you have to be right now, to one, go and get a haircut, and two, think it’s a good idea to post it on the god damn internet, the more I think about it the stupider it becomes. A lot of our basic freedoms have been taken away for the greater good, so why does this fool think it’s ok to flout the rules and disrespect the people of the North East, lest we forget that region has been one of the hardest hit with Covid over the last 11 months.
The barber who did the haircut and willingly posed in the photo isn’t alone in doing footballers trims, he’s not alone in barbers doing haircuts full stop, he is also a fucking moron. I do feel some sympathy for people in that trade, because I myself am one, having been a barber since 2006 and have had to take over 6 months off over the last year, so in turn I’ve had to find other things to do with my time (sorry if you’re one of the people reading this) during the March lockdown I was offered obscene amount of money to do haircuts, maybe that’s why footballers get away with it, or are they simply that vein, who can blame Jack Grealish for wanting to make himself look like he gets paid £40 a week a to play semi professionally.
There are also players who try to pull the wool over our eyes, they have a haircut but not as short as they’d normally get it thinking we won’t notice, but believe me we can, suffer through longer hair or a bad bowl cut or head shave from the Mrs and put up with it like the rest of us, get a fucking grip, you ain’t that special.
