I think that Y2 is entitled to his opinion here.
Last time I looked, this is not nazi-occupied Eurpoe.
Footballers are told many times over that they have a public image to uphold and however unfair it may be, people associate their conduct with that of their club, sponsers and supporters.
The club knows that, it takes its reputation seriously and thats why he has been stood down.
So I have no sympathy when Bird, charged with serious indictable offences attracting a decent gaol term, then seeks to portary himself in public as some juvenile delinquent lout at a finals match.
He has no understanding of the media at all. None, zip, zero.
Hes a grade one idiot of the highest order.
