Look I don't disagree he was probably a fat lazy cnt.I reckon he would have done anything to get out of training based on the couple of times I saw him play - was gassed after one hit up. Can't remember a player who looked so out of place in FG.
But I also think that when it comes to domestic violence and the cops there needs to be an element of sensitivity.
Maybe he very well used it as an excuse, but without knowing for certain with an issue like domestic violence I don't think it's fair to say "he should have been at training"... And latching onto one word "required"..
