You seem to be implying that if you’ve never played football to a reasonable standard your opinions on players are invalid.

No, I'm implying that 99% football is a sport, not a business. If you go and play in the park, or at sunday league level, you'll see football is determined by the sporting factor of it, not the business element.
I've never said if you can't play football your opinion is invalid.
This 'football is a business' talk has grown from Sky sports claiming Prem football is the meaning of the sport, which it isn't.
I misunderstood you then. Apologies.

Anthony Knockeart has played some wonderful football during his time as the club , and during that time has become a hero to all the youngsters that have his name on their shirts. I feel his behaviour yesterday totally let down the team and all the fans who have idollised him over the years. He is no longer fit to wear the stripes and should never be allowed back in the match day squad.
Professional football is a business, PL, and all top flight football in Europe, is more business than sport.
The true 'sport' argument doesn't really wash in England until you get well below the championship IMO. Even kids are playing 'professionally' now.
Sad but true.

but ultimately, the business relies on what happens on the pitch. It doesn't matter how good your clubs business dealings are, if your team are playing crap, that's what determines the success of a football club, not its profit margins.
Saying football is a business is a bit like saying Music is a business. It's stupid simply because they're not businesses.
It is funny....a day later and it is all forgotten.
No it bloody isn't! A defeat on Tuesday and I will expect something far more substantial than 'our horse shoe performed exactly as I hoped, but unfortunately. in the final turd we were shit'. Sorry but if the Albion were road safety, we'd be on three wheels and a rim right now.

Well thought out.
Same old Harry, always insulting.
Nice work.
The rest of my post was very well thought out.

In short Knocky was in no way at fault for us losing those 3 points, I like him, he inspires the team and drives us forward and he also does the same to the fans.
I was sent off 3 times while playing football, but id like to think most people would feel I helped the team win more points than lose them. If you play with passion some times it overflows especially after the team hasn't had a shot on target after 68 mins against away losers bmuff.

The worst thing about the sending off is that CH should have taken him straight off after the second goal rather than Propper and we wouldn't have been talking about this. I've been saying for long time on here that he is not up to this division and is a liability - I just wish it hadn't all come to a head yesterday.
Nobody can be surprised at the tackle - he has had a few near misses this season with that petulant - sorry, enthusiastic - throwing himself at the defender trying to clear the ball.
I'm usually quite mannered during a game but I did get up and shout at a few of the idiots in the WSU who stood to applaud him off the pitch. It's not as if he had been playing well and it was harsh decision.
Moving forward, it is now time for the other wingers to prove AK is no longer required. I'd love to see Ali J playing as a proper right winger, not inverted, as I think we may then see the best of him. If Jose is fit on the other side then we do potentially have some pace to try and get behind Cardiff.

This is well OTT. He made one stupid challenge, showing his frustration with the way things were going. A red card and three match ban should be the end of it. At Watford last season I was a few yards away when he was almost cut in half by just as bad a tackle. He had a poor match and we were never going to recover, even at 1-0 down IMO.

As well as bleeding blue and white I wished he’d bleeding well not made that bleeding tackle.
