The decision wasnt made not to play him again. The decision was made not acquiesce to his demands to be played whilst he was undermining his team mates.
I am told that one of the reasons rdz didnt haul him off for steele to face the pens in the semi was a concern about the long term inpact on...
For the reasons I have already provided (based on reliable people including some very loyal to Big Bob who still say he acted badly) i dont recognise the picture you are painting here.
Actually your original comment was that he was forced out. I think we can all now agree he wasnt.
You also asked if it was the worse decision in years. Again I think that question has now been answered in the negative.

I know everybody has their 'truth' on this and the club are no strangers to managing the media, however i had been told by...
Another thanks here from me and my family of 5. Superbly organised, great communications, good restaurants and comfortable coaches/no squashing and squeezing.
Good to see some others on here (and to be groped by the female security on way into ground next to some of them too.....)
Me and my 2...
