In no particular order: Talking about players "getting it" or players being winners or losers based on whether we just won or lost.

Hammer throwers of Scottish football. Anything about refereeing or governing body conspiracies Overhyping youth players because they made a 5 yard pass.

You might have chosen to be deliberately obtuse and take it too literally. Nobody thinks that every player in the league is incapable of passing a football and can only make thuggish challenges. Anyways back to the original point. I can see why he might want to move to another league which is less physical, better pitches, more technical and where he gets more protection from refs. Absolutely a possibility Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You watch many games involving them outside ours? If it saves those clubs £500k+ a year on training facilities and lets them generate more revenue then fair play to them.
