I won't convince you of the fact this isn't a planned attack from the big bad bully Burke, so continue screaming about it if you feel the need to.

See, this is where we disagree...
What other player has been called out in the media? More so, what other player has been called out three times? Especially in wishy washy terms like "3 zone play missing".
Once again though, I have absolutely NOTHING against Sven getting sat... what I do have a problem with though, is Glencross not being sat while at the same time the team wants to wag fingers at Sven as an object lesson.
Yes, young players are going to #### up, and need some time in the press box to develop. But when one of those young players is quite literally the only pariah in the press, someone ####ed up. Sit him, sure. Make a media example of him? Certainly not! Give veterans that are playing many times worse than him more opportunity, and christ! Praise in the media.... thats just bad management.
