My half sister Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 When a player puts in a bad tackle and is sent off, you sometimes hear ‘he’s not that type of player’. I would like to see the list of who is that type of player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Provan is the worst "The keeper is never getting there" as he watches the replay of the goal "It would take something special to beat the keeper from there" as he watches a replay of a shot from 30 yards sail over the bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see the list of who is that type of player! Yes, and I'm sure we could draw up a fairly accurate list !! Why don't winning managers, interviewed after a game where the opposition missed loads of chances, just admit their team was lucky - instead of guff like "we controlled the game and it was a comfortable win".

His YT vid when he got the bullet is a master class in arrogance & self pity.
