Give it up mate

Give what up? The idea that I don’t think a sexual assault has taken place. Even in her own words she’s described it as sexist (misogynist) which given his follow up remarks probably isn’t that inaccurate. But it is a storm in a teacup and far more indicative of an ongoing feud between the players and the organisation than anything else.

And again I’ll say that most of what I’ve said on the subject regards the coach Jorge Vilda, who again appears to have been dragged into this row in order to justify what they wanted to do anyway. And I think that’s not on. You disagree, you seem to think that if something upsets your preconceived notions of right and wrong that it doesn’t matter who gets caught up in the whirlwind

I know you’ve used it as throwaway remark but also I’m not your mate just something to keep in mind
