Quote: DaveO "Comments like that and similar headlines we are already seeing are deliberately chosen to imply Flower is the cause. They don't actually say it but they imply it and everybody knows that is what is going on. It is ridiculous.
You may as well say Muhammad Ali ended up a basket case because Henry Cooper knocked him the down once.
It's said for Hohaia but at 32 he's been going to have been banged about plenty of times in his career so the clear implication it's Flower's fault is sensationalism.'"
Seriously? There is a slight difference between taking a shoulder charge ,and being punched in the head whilst lying prone and unconscious on the floor...
