Pants - your defending of this s**tsack is utterly bemusing

"Playing for Glenn Roeder, it was the first time in my life I felt like chucking it during a game, a lot of the players felt that way. He's an angry man, not nice to play for."

I mean, where does one start with that nonsense? On so many levels it is bitter, pathetic, unprofessional, miserable and laughable.

Now you can say whatever you like about it being some Scottish vernacular (oh please) but it is quite clear what he meant. He wanted to give up, stop playing, throw in the towel, strop off.

Granted, he was unlikely to choose to single-handedly lose the game for City by picking up the ball and running headlong in to the back of his own net, but when a defender says he wanted to give up, and not bother he might as well be throwing a game given the opportunity it would offer a striker who, say, had Murray alone to beat.

Satisfies any definition of chucking really(in anyone's vernacular) wouldn't you think?

Roeder looks a pretty good judge of character to me and on the evidence of the Plymouth game and the Ipswich reserve game he decided to get shot of the c**t.

And frankly, it's good riddance to bad rubbish, whatever bloody-minded game of semantics you wish to play with the word 'chuck'.
