But if that was me, I'd be inclined now to stick two fingers up to that manager and say, yeah, you want to hang me out to dry?

Yeah, you want to hang me out to dry as the bad guy?

You know, banning me from this game, banning me from one of the big games of the season.

So you're basically pointing the big finger at me to all the fans and media out there that I'm the problem.

And after that, you want me to come back and salvage the season for you after this ridiculous ban to try and save your job?

So Rossini is shooting himself in the foot by not having him available for the weekend, like the journalist asked.

Well, listen...

He may win the game.

He may get in the Champions League.

I don't know.

There's no player.

You know, Casey was at Tottenham and Donovan was at, you know, West Ham, Liverpool and I was at Chelsea.

you know in Celtic if a manager if I'm going into a no firm game against Rangers or a London derby against Arsenal and all of a sudden you've got the guy that might win the game for you I'm just giving you an example you know our case he's best centre half in front of him and he's protection and he's been left out for something so silly so you're exposing the team it just doesn't make sense but he can't walk it back now right oh no he's done now no he's stuck now now he would look now he would lose all respect if he goes there but don't paint yourself into a corner

over something that just seemed like it was not that big of a deal.

Look, I played in two countries where I didn't really speak the language.

You think you know the language, you say something, you do something.

Maybe the nuance isn't there.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

But is that really something that you can't just call into your office and say, hey, hey, next time, maybe you don't want to mention this.
