But we didn't mind that when he played for us though eh?
i did, it was embarrassing.
His party trick of making sure he got a free kick when touched by an opponent wasn't really one the cheating dark arts. It's not like he was diving for no reason, just making sure the ref saw that he had been fouled.
I don't remember him ever committing a dangerous foul when he played for us. I never thought of him as a dirty player - he only got one straight red playing for us, plenty of yellows but nothing nasty. Certainly never anything like yesterday's effort.
