Lyon gets Rep exemption (NOW DENIED)

[Dazraider]

As if you would want him in the squad anyway as obviously he would play crap as he wouldnt be interested and would try to play to his worse not to get selected again anyway.
its too easy if he is not interested, what makes people think he will be 100% commited and want to perform if selected.

What a joke, just dont pick him its that easy
