Never heard of him, seen video of him or know anything about him except hes a CB/DM
Nah mate, that's not what snide is, that's just bottle, snide is waiting for the ref to not be looking and stand on someone's foot, give em a jab when no ones looking, snide was Heittinga walking into Ashley Cole during his penalty, or a hidden elbow that sort of thing, discrete fouls, or when a tackle comes in, accidentally letting your arm fall.. strongly into the opponent that tackled you, a snidey player is basically just a generally nasty, underhanded and walking the grey area between legit and cards type player.
Shawcross is a snide.
Not my sort of player at all, give me a committed player like what you mentioned any day, Timmy Cahill, Scott Parker that sort of player that leaves nothing on the pitch but try to keep things clean, not always succeeding, straying at times but trying hard to keep the right side of the ref whilst still hunting down anything that moves.
Give me commitment over snide any day.
McCarthy>Fellaini for example
