      .

      Could be worse....Jimmy Johnson, coach of the Dallas Cowboys for 2 of their 3 Super Bowls in the '90's cut a player after a game in which the player made a mistake. Got everyone else's attention, that's for sure.
      a little harsh?  :roll:

      Nope, now the guy wasn't one of the starters or anything...he was a reserve player that quite likely could have been on the way out soon anyway, but he expedited the situation by fumbling at a crucial moment in the game. Again...highlighting the difference between how Europeans look at sports vs us Yanks. I had no issue with what the coach did. The player was being paid a lot of money and couldn't complete even the most fundamental task without screwing up. Time to go...and it let everyone know that they were held to a high standard and if they didn't meet it, they could look for new employment as well.

      Cut his hair and wear a mask I say
      Interesting idea. I suppose Jason Vorhees would have the intimidation factor!

      Harsh reality is we're the only Premiership side in a major Cup final as of now.

      Easy fella thats a little too extreme:) Was thinking more along the line of Kane http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/000/173/756/2a39b4bb220efe48c7f90372821597e2_display_image.jpg?1268286553
