Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2689718, member: 8215"] This. There's absolutely nothing to be gained by responding, at least publicly. Either he continues to uphold his thoughts that McKinnon's actions were the biggest factor in the injury (which it seems the majority here, including myself, agree), or he backtracks totally and says that it was all McLean's fault. There would be no scope for an apology, saying he was wrong to argue with the refs, while still maintain his stance on blame - the media wouldn't go soft on it and would probe and push to the nth degree. The best thing he can do is put it out of his mind and respond privately when the time is more appropriate, if Alex lets him. I don't think this is the end of this situation unfortunately. It's clear that Alex does not believe he's contributed, or refuses to believe as such. I'm not saying that in a "he did this to himself" way, because he was one contributor out of many. No one's actions were totally responsible, and as has been mentioned it was just an accidental ****-up. But accidental or not, had he not tucked his head in it would not have been as severe, regardless of whether it was a deliberate attempt to roll or an action out of panic. But it seems to me that in his head, for him to admit that he contributed to the outcome is something he can't do, which is why I think there are still significant mental demons and if he can't come to terms with that then his dark thoughts aren't over.
