  PAOLO Di Canio wants to get rid of a culture of self-diagnosis which he feels is spreading within the Swindon Town squad.

Oh come on SY spell it out in bigger letters so its more obvious :D

What I want to know is does di Canio know the reason for this issue? Can he put his finger on where the problem comes from?

Are we under some sort of embargo?

Either that or Di Canio misheard and the injured players are suffering from lumbago.

Don't know why I read these quotes? Only the player themself will know if they are injured or not.

Must admit, I'm surprised that it is not standard practice for all injuries/niggles to be checked out immediately and then signed off by the Club Doctor.  (Or have I got the wrong end of what PDC was saying?)

;D

It is drinking too much Umbongo

Maybe it's not the lumbago/embargo bit that got lost in translation but a mistranslation of diagnosis/abuse after he wandered in on a dressing room game of the Australian biscuit game.

I was only saying to a mate yesterday that PdC had been fairly sensible in the media for a week or so, and that perhaps the chairman and owner had had a bit of a word with him.

Then this.

He is doing a really good job, but sounds like an utter tit. No manager in the world is able to always bring in new players to cover every injury or niggle. There will be times that a player in a particular position will not have competition for his place, and although he is absolutely right to fear complacency may set in, he has to find a way of managing it within budget.

Aside from the embargo bit I actually agree with what he says.

PDC is spot on, we've all attempted a bit google self diagnosis of our symptoms before, and without fail you are left with two options, you either have a headache or you have a week to live thanks the brain tumour you have been putting up with.
