Big Ern, come on
Firstly the ref did call her onto the field of play. Are you suggesting that medical staff then look to their manager to get the nod before they go on?
Secondly, I can't believe your glibly defending Morihno by saying, 'its not so bad, she wasn't flogged to death'. No she hasn't been flogged or beaten so we should ll smile and say, well there you go, she's still alive so all is well.
Mate, your ignoring what actually did happen. Morinho, ridiculed a professional associate, called her naive, questioned her intelligence and character on LIVE TV to tens of millions of people watching live and then repeatedly in the press thereafter I suggest in professional terms far worse than being sacked.
Her career is now tainted as well as her professional reputation. she will forever be the naive girl who skipped onto the pitch when she shouldn't have and not the medical professional she is. Her character, intelligence and ability have all been questioned and sh will have to address this and answer questions about it for the rest of her professional life.
But that's ok according to you Big Ern, because all Morinho did was deflect attention from a poor performance, in his view, by his team, according to you that makes it all ok. I'd love to see how you justify it buddy. Would you be defending Sam Allerdyce, Alan Pardew, Mark Hughes (read the full list of prem managers here) for doing the same. Allardyce would be ridiculed as old school, sexist and expected to resign, Pardew would be expected to attend an anger management course and Sparkey would be expected to attend community service, but Morinho well, its ok for him, he's the special one.
I believe some are having a hard time with his attack and outburst because it isn't in keeping with his usual entertaining comments and why some are trying to defend the indefensible.
Imo he lashed out in anger at many things that aren't going his way and we saw his frustration.
He hasn't deflected anything, what he has done is to draw attention to him and Chelsea. His team will be under more pressure due to his ill advised outburst, everyone is waiting for their next installment this season, every one is asking 'when will they win a game'
I'm not questioning Morinhos credentials Big Ern so there was no need for a history lesson. All I have said is that I believe he is under pressure which manifest itself in him lashing because he felt the need to hide behind innuendo and he felt the need to lash out at his staff, none of this suggests he is deflecting anything away from his team, on the contrary, he has drawn a spotlight to his team and a search light to himself. his team are now under more scrutiny that they would have been if he came out and said,
'good game, we were off the pace a bit today which will be addressed in training', what would we be talking about now if he said that?
