In fairness to John and not knowing if he uses this site to do so himself, I can answer that.
He is and has been deeply involved in Ro's Testimonial committee, a VERY worthy cause but one that needed to work in co-operation with the present regime at Home Park.
I think we all know and respect John's opinions on things and I know he's been champing at the bit to speak his mind. It's a mark of the fella therefore that despite his beloved club being clusterf**ked before his very eyes he's bitten his tounge for the greater good of not derailing or diminishing Ro's testimonial achievements. It wasn't cowardice therefore, it wasn't the lack of an opinion or the lack of motivation to express it, he was simply doing the right thing byan Argyle legend and a true gentleman, my respect for John is therefore increased not diminishesd as a result of finding that out.
I hope you agree that's fair enough. Personally I reckon we should focus more on what he says now than the absence of those words in recent weeks.
People listen to John, he has a gift to do in one post what far lesser mortals have to drone on about constantly, ahem
. I hope his two penneth will finally shake some of the head burying apologists from their hypnosis.
