I happened to be listening to Talkcrap when Carjacker rang in - talk about losing it! To pull over, ring a radio station and then offer the presenter out live on air - well the bloke needs his head testing! Embarrassing isn't the word for it - pathetic is more appropriate!
Who was it who said think not what your country can do for you, think what you can do for your country? This applies (in lesser terms, I concede) to this situation. Will he be jumping up and down with delight if England win the Euros next year, knowing that he could have contributed in some way, even if it was only in the 5-a-sides? This is one of the reasons why England will never win anything, imho. The players who play are looked upon as being priviliged or 'chosen' - the others are 'left out' or 'dropped'. Too much ego and politics surround the whole deal, from the journos who want England to fcuk up to the players like Carjacker who get the arse because they aren't playing regularly. All you English guys out there, how many of you would gladly be the kit man for your national team? How many of you would give up your time if it meant that the players representing your country had every opportunity to win? Carjacker has been overtaken by his own ego and selfishness. Fair enough if you're too knackered to play week in week out, or your family asks you to stop after several years of service, but to walk away because he thinks he should be playing - sad, very sad.
Not only has Jaime (as they pronounce it at Real Scouseiadad) let his country down, he's made a rod for his own back. To so strongly protest FOR giving up what should be an honour is stupidity of the highest order. It'll follow him for the rest of his career and cause problems for Liverpoo that really ought not to have arisen. A foolish move by a foolish man.
I'm now expecting a PM from Our Jaime offering me out, which I shall pass on to Bluebeard for a small finders fee!
