I wonder how the 'Byrne Haters' would have reacted if, after running over half the length of the pitch and getting disposessed of the ball, he had just let his head drop and thought 'Fuck it, someone else can chase it down'? I suspect the odd accusation of lazy cunt may have occured.
Agreed. We have a scapegoat every year...seeing as Williams has since left, Byrne is the obvious choice (apparently).
