Adam is not coming out bad . I'm not sure where this is coming from . Yes you can say the media those with anti NC agendas . Etc etc ; there will be some in football who will try to soil Adam 's name to stop him getting picked above others for the World Cup squad . Then there is the PGMol agenda . They gave most to lose if they lies thus case . This is not about saints or Adam but the wider aspects of football . The referees association are a law unto themselves . They need to start smelling the coffee and start to see that they are not greater than the game and start to admit that they have some referees who are not up to scratch and who are consistently getting it wrong Did you read the emirates blogg . That made interesting reading if you didn't .

Back to the words man up and pansies . It was Kevin Edwards stout and the lgbts who complained about young footballers being called a bunch of pansies Here's the gay fathers comments to the press etc on this matter . While the kids have practiced the last several weeks, loving and hating every grueling moment, last night found one son’s team on the field, in the middle of a drill, when one of the assistant coaches yelled, “What are you? A bunch of pansies?” I heard his words, echoing across the grass, and felt like I’d been punched in the gut. All those taunts through the years stay with you, even if you’ve risen above them. I immediately walked over, called my son off the field, and told the coach we were done. We were going to switch teams. And he let us go… As my other son’s team finished their practice, I sat with my 10-year-old, explaining why I’d taken such action. We talked about what the word meant, how it is used, and why such words can be damaging. We talked about how such taunts, even if in jest, can haunt a person and make them feel less-than. Finally, we talked about African-Americans, the struggles for equality that they’ve faced, and how one single word can sear into your soul. He seemed to understand. Following practice, we received apologies from both the assistant and the head coach himself. Bafflingly, the assistant coach didn’t seem to understand how the word “pansy” could be offensive. I shared that I was gay and found the word personally offensive, and also how that word and other similar terms had driven kids to suicide. He promised to never again use the word.

Sky believe a numbers of oremiership clubs are watching him . Is he another Dennis wise / Philips who we let go because the coaches at the time didn't think they were good enough
