[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 907246, member: 55747"] It's a very interesting situation for a non involved bystander. What i find incredible, is that he was fired out of principles. My heart says "outstanding, brilliant". I wouldn't have done it myself but i applaud it. I wouldn't have done it because 1) i probably lack the balls to make such a drastic call 2) short term it's bad for the team and long term it is impossible to know. What surprised me the most was the people's reaction. I immediately talked to my spanish friends and read the comments from pretty much all spanish sport newspapers. I expected a somewhat divided opinion, even more people siding with "this is ridiculous from Rubiales, he lost it". What i found was that pretty much every non RM supporter sided with Rubiales, which is nothing short of amazing. The most repeated phrase was "what if barca had done it?" and they have a point. It just feels like the used a tank to kill a mosquito. But it was tank or nothing and the mosquito bit the hand precisely because he assumed no one would dare use a tank to kill him. RM will get a lot of love whenever the play away. It is not uncommon to put club before country in footie, in fact it's not rare at all. But this, this is something quite extreme. What a bloody start! [/QUOTE]
