What I dont understand is why did he bother getting all kitted-up, and sitting on the bench if he couldnt be bothered to play? If I really didnt want to be there/want to play, I would have said no before the kick-off so I could go and be wherever it was that I wanted to be??? The only reason to get kitted-up, sit there for an hour and then refuse would be to make a REALLY big statement. If you wanted to make this kind of statement why would you deny it afterwards??? Seems very odd to me.
