Something which has always puzzled me is the oft trotted out ‘he’s got a great touch for a big lad’.

Why do people say this? It’s just a lazy phrase that people think they should say about a tall player.

Why shouldn’t a tall player have skills? It’s never said about small players is it?

There was tons of people saying it on Twitter last night.

And at what height does a player become a ‘big lad’ and therefore qualify for this saying?

Officially it's 8ft

Is he going to get some minutes on the pitch or what?

Last week was the really bizarre one. We had subs left, we needed a goal, there was minutes left, we were pressing and crossing.

But the 6ft 4 reportedly expensive striker remains on the bench?

If he's not fit enough to play 5 minutes he shouldn't be on the bench.

Aye, that was a head scratcher. I see Ginelly is playing for the u21s in the week, hopefully Myck gets some minutes, too.
