Quote: Shifty Cat "Just reading it back It seems to me because you just said 'Don't criticise a young lad. e.t.c' you were somehow backing up NGBC silly first post, maybe I'm wrong.
You agreed with a post that I think sums him up best atm and I've said similar in the past. That he's great defensively, loads of work and heart but needs to work on his offensive game, which is no surprise given his age but he's hardly the reason to get picked out tonight like the OP has done.'"
I wasn't necessarily agreeing with the Original Poster but I know there are some players that you literally cannot even have an opinion on without upsetting folk so it was more of a response to the reaction I knew that would be forthcoming. I know there are people with an emotional investment towards some players on this forum but you've got to accept a forum is to air all views - not just positive ones. Players get praise and they get criticism - that is life and that is sport. You cannot expect people to sacrifice their own honesty for positivity. Or to self-censor for fear of upsetting folk. Sacred Cow literally made a fair, reasonable post and was jumped on a little hastily imo.
