Leon says sorry

[Easy 10]

Obviously McGhee wants his players to come off the pitch laughing and joking when substituted. Showing passion and dissapointment about not being able to take any further part in helping your club to get a result is a punishable offence!

 

[Bwian]

Seconded

Hopefully a line can be drawan under the incident now.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Well done Leon. Lets hope he runs has heart out at Palace. I have a feeling he might have his best game in the stripes.

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

Well that's all sorted out for now. I look forward to this all kicking off again the next time Leon "shows he cares" by kicking over a water bottle next time he's subbed after failing to score for the nth game running.

 

[Cabby]

read the details ffs-it was a little more than that

Unlike you, I saw it all for myself Dummy

 

[CHAPPERS]

All of you who argued that he had nothing to apologise for what do you say now?

That he had to apologise or he wouldn't play again.

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

I think we all agreed that throwing a tantrum is not a good move, the problem was the public side of it all and the way that an apology was demanded in the press. Should have been a quick fine, or maybe slapped legs. Could have sent him to bed early or stopped him from playing his PS2 - but there was no need to run to the papers about it.

Well good for you

Slapped legs

 

[Marshy]

As i thought, the incident blows over as usual with only 1 winner.

Leon does something like this every season, and always ends up on the losing side, he will never learn sadly.

Now get him back in the side and bang a couple past Palace Leon.

 

[tedebear]

So bloody childish in the first instance - he should go back to playing in the park on weekends if he wants to behave like that....and as for everyone demanding an apology - just perpetuates the childish behaviour...

Leon isn't Wayne Rooney - so he should stop behaving like him!!

 

[Simster]

I must have misunderstood. I thought the only person to be able to handle Leon Knight properly was Steve Coppell.

I thought McGhee handled it perfectly.

Since going into a big strop and storming off the pitch is so appealing to certain sections, can we make it club policy that all substitutes must:

Go off the pitch in a big huff, not acknowledge the crowds applause, ignore the manager and sit on their own in the corner.

Nothing shows you "care" more than acting like a f***ing child.

Certainly sounds as if you've first hand knowledge!

Well said. I wonder if people that so enthusiastically endorse this innovative "Big f***ing Baby" (or "BFB") approach to manager-staff relations would dare to act like that at their own place of work.
