I don't know what your problem is LCAB and I've never had a problem on here with you. I've stated factual points and instead of addressing them, you've gone on some long diatribe about how it's all bollox and garbage.
Sorry you don't like me but you won't be the first and won't be the last of people who don't like me on here.
That said, and to help you along here a little bit, I've emboldened a part of your post above that is the absolute key to the point I've made.
NO ONE has said that Drenthe shouldn't have been disciplined, kicked out of the club, sent packing, etc....
Let me repeat that. NO. ONE.
So, back to the part I've highlighted. You are absolutely spot on. He SHOULD have been sent packing the minute this crap started. No ands, ifs, or buts about it.
HOWEVER, (and this is the part that you and several have failed to address, by shouting "bollox" at the top of your lungs) Moyes timing on the discipline was wrong. There's no two ways around that. Moyes. Was. Wrong. If he was going to keep discipline problem Drenthe as long as he did, he may as well have kept him for one more day, had him play in the semi, AND THEN kicked him to the curb.
So that I'm sure, are you really stating that kicking him out right before the semi final was the best time for Moyes to do that?
Yeah Drenthe is a mentalist. Yeah he broke team rules repeatedly. Yeah he wasn't an Everton player in terms of discipline, both on and off the pitch.
BUT I GUARANTEE YOU HE WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE THAT DAY.
Anyone stating otherwise is, to quote the famous LCAB, talking "bollox."
Have a nice day.
