In response to locko luck you asked would I turn a bonus down and I said no in honesty.

With regards to the playing for free and paying the bills I was just saying that it would be honour to play for the club but I do understand that in reality a player wouldn't.
But with testimonials in my personal opinion is the players earn a very good salary doing a job they love and don't understand why they should get a testimonial when they are only doing a job they are paid to do. Every player should give passion and there all whether its for 1 game or 1000 games

I am no fan of Westwood as I think he is one of those players that other teams should be allowed to smack once a match for any reason due to the fact that he is a bit of a dirty barsteward, but of your list I would only agree with 3. Would have him in my team any day based on workrate and ability to upset the opposition. I wouldn't underestimate his playing ability and the fact he can play long minutes either.

There not tax free anymore.

Didnt think they were. No doubt the Government realised how much money they would recoup by taxing millionaire footballers testimonial games etc but didnt give a second thought to other sportsmen like Rugby players who will probably have to work after they retire from the game.

unless they are clever with there money and dont pi-s it up a wall

Top Super League players maybe mate but i am talking national league players aswell.
I would wager that Rich Horne will have been bright enough and properly advised so he wont have to work again. I also fully expect to be picked up in taxis by Paul King in town for many years to come.

no you are part of the DELUSIONED crew

For me, he has the passing skills, almost certainly the best at the club, but his decision making on when to pass and who to pass to is just not there (IMO). He lacks that instinct to make the right decision in the minimal time you have at the high level of the game. Maybe he could get away with this at junior level??

To be honest, it suprises me that anyone disputes this. I'd actually be interested to hear people's "evidence" for TL having a "football brain" rather than, for example, a know all Rovers fan saying "Don't be silly"!!

No such word mate.

FWIW I think Horne has done enough for this club in the past to deserve next season to prove he can overcome his health and injury problems. If he's unable to do it then sentimentality cannot be allowed to come in to it and we have to let him go (I really hope it doesn't come to this though).

i know a player that ed there testimonial money away oh and gambled some too

I could name another load of players as well as the others that i'd have in front of Westwood. Dont rate the bloke one bit.
