He has been our best tall defender all season. Hardly put a foot wrong. Saying omitted is an insult. If he is being tested say so.

Again, I'm not sure how this is in response to my comment. I haven't suggested he was tested. In fact, based on what I wrote, I believe if he out with an injury that was to be tested that would be listed as injured.

If you meant "rested", then again, I think if he was actually rested they would state that (managed). I think the most likely situation is that he has been omitted. Yes he has been playing well, but he has lost his spot to an overall better player.

Think of it like this:

You coach a soccer team. Your number one Goalkeeper, the best goalkeeper in the world, is out injured. So your number 2 goalkeeper comes in to play. GK 2 plays out of their skin, amazing form, better than expected. But GK1 recovers from injury and is picked in the team this week.

GK2 isn't left in the team as well because there is only spot for one GK. GK2 isn't managed or rested, they are omitted. Not due to form, but because others have been selected ahead of them.

I did alter it deanox. Should have said rested. I think I was agreeing with you.

If that is the worst thing that happens to me today I will be very happy.

Does anyone seriously think TMac gives a rats what the team sheet says. He’s 42 and will likely be playing plenty more football this year.

No but many plebs like myself give a rats about T-Mac

'Managed' it should've been as only a recent arrival from mars would've omitted him, not having witnessed his body of work this year, which has mostly been superb.

It's the little things that make a club great.

Yes, like picking the better team regardless of who you have to leave out.

TMac has been omitted. Says it on the team sheet. Preferred KPD trio is now Lever, May, Turner. Tom will not play again while those 3 are available unless we come up against a team with lots of tall forwards.

"Rested" would imply that he will come back in next week, but I'd be very surprised if that was the case. We always have at least one tall as emergency, so that's his role for this week at least.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to my post but anyways.

Hopefully that's a five year career ending foot injury for the turdsta

So? What happened at training besides the free coffee and Tom was there?
