Quote: Gotcha "It doesn't really matter what I believe, or you believe, the fact is that England and Zak made a statement that he had pulled out for personal reasons. Other than the first incident he wasn't disciplined by England, as he didn't do anything after that, that was against the England rules.
As far as England are concerned the media did make things up. Or put more correctly, the media followed that Joker Mick Gledhill in making things up. Didn't the media ask him if Hardaker had been dropped as a disciplinary last week? they made that up then.
I am sure Leeds were aware of the situation considering the barrage of rumours ever since Saturday afternoon, and then following the England statement Monday afternoon.
My view is, McNamara has worked withing his own rules, and handled them accordingley. Leeds have worked within their own rules and handled it. McNamara looks none the worse because of either.'"
Fair points, I can't really argue with any of that. I do wonder why some people cant seem to go 5 minutes without having a drink (if that is indeed what happened), that certainly isn't the coaches fault. If he was booted out of the squad for disciplinary reasons I hope he doesn't get back into it for a while either
