It's in his latest video (at 11:07):

In Healey's case, I would buy that it's because he knows that he's about six stone dripping wet!View attachment 15830
Why does everyone try to fight Squidge?
I think he's developed a bit of a reputation for making things unnecessarily personal. In one of his first videos he claimed that the Ospreys coach was depressed, more recently he shat all over a young Italian 9's performance before rinsing him for having acne, and there was an incident where he essentially tried to 'no actually' Courtney Lawes, an English black man, about racism in England.I've seen a few derisory comments about Squidge's videos on here before, but I didn't realise quite how disliked he is. Can I ask why?
His videos aren't for me, they instantly make me feel like an old ******* for not being able to process what's being said at the rate that it's being said, but I've got nothing against the guy. I suppose he's got some strong opinions so could be polarising, but those that I heard seemed well intended and were broadly in line with my values, which I thought were broadly in line with the mood of this forum.
I honestly don't know how he made it past that. It was such a reckless thing to do I just can't believe it. I honestly believe he thinks he can be a dick to people he has the moral high ground of no one knowing anything about him. Being an "ally" doesn't give you free reign to be a dick, it just makes you right on one particular issue.I think he's developed a bit of a reputation for making things unnecessarily personal.

His content isn't for me; personally I think his analysis is pretty shallow and very geared towards whatever narrative he's trying to push. But that's fine, it just means I don't watch his videos. However, having a track record for unnecessarily bringing the personal lives of players/coaches/staff into his videos just isn't really play on.
He'd gone off my radar until that tbh. It was bizarre, he also tried to imply that EJ getting sacked proved him right somehow.Squidge isn't bad he just likes to complicate a rather simple game. He was a big advocate of "Eddie Jones has a great plan just wait until he unleashes it at the world cup" while England's pack gets manhandled by the Boks
That's interesting I think he is both right and wrong on that front. On one hand I think its a nice idea to promote the women's game and doesn't really harm a team of the year which is always an arbitrary list where more fringe positions are always about personal preference or trying to provoke conversation. Also how often do SH and NH players get mixed into the same list who barely play against each other?He also used his team of the year to brand anyone who disagreed with him having both men and women in the same team sexist, do what you want pal but its not sexist to think that analysing and comparing two sets of players who don't compete against each other devalues said analysis.
