Love the Man Utd bashing... over here, for years I have been annoyed by fellow NZ footy lovers who have adopted Man U as their club simply because they have been successful. This has been going on since I can remember.
Two years ago, I took steps to 'fix' that. As coach,at seasons start, I informed my playing squad thatany player wearing ManU clobber to training, would be fined a small sum of money,made to do multi physical drills in front of jeering team mates, and threatened with being considered as sub for next match. It worked on all ocassions bar one. Aaron refused to comply, and dutifully did the squats, shuttles and press ups while suffering the jibes of team mates for about 4 sessions.The money mounted. We then relented and agreed on a flat $5 end of season fine and let him wear the garb.. We caved in because Aaron was from Manchester and was a regular at Old Trafford with his dad up until his immigration. He wasn't jumping on the bandwagon like many kiwis do.
