The Withdean whingers were at it again on Saturday. Knight allegedly discarded in a fit of pique the black armband worn by the Albion players as a mark of respect to team-mate Adam Virgo's father Bob.

The airwaves and chatrooms were also rife with condemnation afterwards from the band of nitpicking do-gooders. I did not see the incident, but it certainly would have happened in the heat of the moment with no offence intended. Some supporters claimed the armbands were removed by Kuipers and captain Charlie Oatway as well. Maybe they are uncomfortable, perhaps, particularly in Knight's case, they give defenders something to hold onto.

Hats off to Naylor, no doubt he will be receiving a letter from Liz Costa from accusing her of being a nitpicking dogooder

The way the whole squad has rallied round Virgo at a time of such sorrow tells you all you need to know about their true feelings. Knight's actions were not as insulting or insensitive as those error-free individuals who deplored him would have you believe, so much as the rashness of youth.

Unfortunately, there are no grey areas with the infuriating minority. They are never happy unless they have something to moan about. The timing of their ranting is also crass, considering Albion's main striker is still engaged in contract negotiations.


Spot on Andy

The airwaves might have been "rife with condemnation". If NSC was rife with anything, it was in condemnation of the nit-pickers, not Leon.
