Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Utter tosh, it's a gimmick to generate publicity (or it was!), it shouldn't mean jack shat to players.
if you need a random event of being chosen/not chosen to play X team (when in all liklihood you could well be playing them anyways in a non clubcall situation) to get motivated then you're playing the wrong sport or don't have the right attitude to start with.
It should matter not one jot whom you play, just that you play to your plan against that particular team and execute every small goal/target you are set as best as you can every single time.. The motivation should come from within, not directed because of some outward uncontrollable force.'"
So you don't think that the coach of the team that has been "club called" will even mention it and that it wouldn't be used to help get that extra ounce of sweat from the players ???
