That is enough – part two
Social media is an oxymoron, as is the term intelligent footballer. The advent of Twitter and Facebook is making immediate twits out of footballers, but footballers don’t need the assistance of social media to look foolish.
That is enough
Sledging is tradition. It has been ever since football was invented, because the game tests the mental mettle of its combatants. Squib a contest, drop a mark, miss a target and a player will get sledged.
To play football is to expect the sledge. If a player can’t hack having his courage, parentage and intelligence questioned, he’ll never make it. It has always been the same, ever since the first football was kicked to a teammate.
