Be interested to know if players are aware of your interesting info' , please, Jacko.
From my experience most players know that after X yellow cards they'll have to have a hearing. Recognize that a lot of Yellow Cards at the Champ/Prem level are for Intentionally Offending or Repeated Infringements, so a lot of the hearings are benign. It's the fella that has 3 YCs for dangerous play that might be a bit hot under the collar.
Yes, used in this way it not only mocked Armitage but also anyone with mental health problems.
But you chose to consider it a mental health prob'. Why? He could be just thick or, as I innocently but politely thought, lacking a degree of nous.:hap:
Not when you write it
that way. I take to to mean a "Special Needs" individual, and even that term isnt really accepted anymore (use words like "mental illness" or "learning disability"). This comment in particular isnt something to joke about. Being "thick" could be down to learning difficulties / disabilities over just being inherently lazy or just using poor judgment (I think Armitage falls into the latter category, along with Grewcock).
It could be a generational thing, but I would never use the term "special" (especially those who say it in a voice that makes fun of kids with Down Syndrome) to describe any person. It probably doesnt hit the same note for me as Jacko, but I fully empathize with his position. With my moderator hat on: A bit more decorum here please, folks! Thanks in advance!
