... and in Other Football News

Not just negotiate for them. You’d be amazed how many footballers don’t know how to book a train ticket, boil an egg etc.

 

Negotiate for them, brush their teeth for them, wipe their arse for them…

Some footballers are thick as ****.

 

Hands up all those who've never, ever made a mistake.

All those with hands down must be as thick as ****.

According to the current narrative...

 

The first one [for dissent] was already needless and, to a certain extent, stupid, as you have got to control your emotions,” the Liverpool head coach said. “With the second one I told him that if you score in the Champions League final in the 87th minute after outplaying three players and hitting it in the top corner … I can maybe understand he is like: ‘This is all about me.’ But I’m old-fashioned. If I scored a goal like this I’d have walked up to Federico Chiesa and said: ‘This goal is all about you, this is not about me.’ Needless, not smart, you call it stupid, I called it stupid right away as well.”

 

His own coach leans more toward ‘thick as ****’ than ‘honest mistake’.

 

Who said honest mistake?

 

I really really do not like the modern use of "mistake".
Slipped into any apology and that'll be alright then because it was a mistake....
You can just hear the mealy mouthed politician caught bang to rights squirming and pleading "oh poor me it was a mistake"

No it wasn't it usually is a number of completely intentional decisions.
A mistake is an unintentional error, a misjudgement that has unintended result, and eroneus belief that something is true (if I remember correctly).

It is not a get out of jail card when you know what your doing and do it any with no regard for the consequence.

That's reckless


I'll put my soap box away now.
Sorry , it was a.......
