"Come off meh f**king field if yuh eh serious"..
lol
That pretty much sums it up for me. I'm neither here nor there about whether to pull him off as "punishment"... He's big hard back (and hard head) man... punishing him like a child who did wrong eh changing him. He has to grow up and mature on his own. Slapping on the wrist may very well be counter-productive.
I also not on board with the whole disrespect thing - I think guys taking that aspect too far - I eh think no one really feeling too disrespected by that move. It's not like the man wipe he balls with a LA Galaxy flag, or put middle fingers up in the air... While cockyness is disrespectful on some level, I think people can rationalize and look past that...Other than the backheel pk we saw recently, the slow chip down the middle penalty kick, which is quite a common thing, is IMO very cocky and somewhat disrespectful...along with quite a few goal celebrations I see...people get over that.
But the part about taking the game seriously, I can agree with. If you're a coach who wants your team to remain professional and focused at all times, and take every game seriously...pre-season, exhibition or not, then ok if yuh stand yuh ground.... If that's Mancini's stance, I eh blame him.
