One further thought on this. If you look at this in the eyes of the England squad, it looks particularly bad on Macnamara in that they will see he didn't have the balls to tell Hock he was out face to face. Not only will he be seen as a bad coach as I am sure they realise from a tactical perspective but he is a mouse as well.

He had ample opportunity at the end of the video session to dismiss the players and ask Hock to stay behind to dismiss him from the squad in person. This would have sent out a strong message of discipline to the squad. Instead we get cowardice from the England coach. It is no wonder some of the players wouldn't train.

We're doomed, doomed I tell thee!

What a contrast to the opinions of Hock by most supporters in the local pubs, clubs and other websites.

Face the fact, if Hock had not been selected for the squad in the first place, the incident would never have occur.

A liability to every team he has played for and a fool to himself.

You only have to look at the great team spirit we now have at Wigan since his departure.

Sad, as he is a great player!

Well obviously. If a player isn't there, you can't send him home! :(

As with all of these types of events there will be 3 versions....................

1. Hocks version

2. Englands version

3. The truth, probably the one we wont hear.

Some huge sweeping statements WW

I will take issue with one, players breaking the alcohol curfew would have happened with / without Gaz Hock. He was also guilty of oversleeping by 20 minutes.

99% of supporters live in cloud cuckoo land as to what happens on a daily basis at professional sporting clubs. Players have spats, players trade blows on the training pitches, players key cars, players do the dirty with a teammates partner and so on and so on.

Shit happens but the reason we live in cloud cuckoo land is it gets dealt with and we are none the wiser. I, others look at the bigger picture, ignore dislike of player X, Y & Z. McNamara who despite stating the contrary is looking for an out from is job ACTED LIKE A COMPLETE FOOL. HE IS THE MANAGERIAL LEVEL EMPLOYEE.
