GALTASARAY MIDFIELDER WESLEY Sneijder was so busy plugging club products on his Twitter account earlier that he didn’t realise the significance of one particular tweet.
Leeds United are holding a minute’s silence today to mark the 15th anniversary of the death of two fans who were stabbed to death in Turkey when the team travelled to face Galatasaray in a UEFA Cup match.
Sneijder obviously wasn’t aware of that because he sent a glowing tweet endorsing the Turkish club’s new knife range.
Fans immediately tweeted their anger at him and the Dutch midfielder was quick to delete the message and apologise.
To be fair to Sneijder, while it was an unfortunate mistake, it’s probably a compulsory part of his contract that he has to promote team products.
Even when on the bench he didn’t get game time. The coach doesn’t like or trust him. Saturday once again showed just how wrong O’connor has been all season
O’Connor is just all wrong for Leinster.
He has a very big chance next season with Leinster during the World Cup, midfield won’t be as competitive so he should get a good run of matches.
Mark if Darcy doesn’t make the World Cup squad, he’ll play 12 with t’eo at 13. Then Madigan and sexton will be back so the midfield won’t be as easy to get into as you may think
That pop pass from O’Brien
Battle between him and Madigan for the 12 jersey next season.
It’s always to easy to see who coaches ‘just like/don’t like’. When Gopperth played badly it was ignored whereas when Madigan played mediocre or even if Reid played well decisions went against them.
It creates such a poisonous culture as some players start to feel entitled to spots and others feel it doesn’t matter how well they play they won’t get picked. Cody and Fergusson were masters at disregarding players identities and judging on match performance alone. MOC is such a stink manager.
