I'm afraid of the dark
'Specially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

I honestly don’t have any idea about the crying bit? Is crying good or bad?

again, you're the one who used 'overly emotional' as a criticism so you tell us.

I mean, the “I’m into philosophy” and backing it up with a Mark Twain quote couldn’t be more Brent if he tried.

Oh I understand the confusion. My over emotional comment was referring to him coming out like a steam train and flattening Hojlund. Totally unnecessary and in my “opinion” that cost us champions league football.

Yes. But I signed up here knowing that if someone thinks my opinion is ludicrous, they’ll be able to tell me.

So you basing half of your argument against him on 1 action in 1 game? Also, Reckless is probably a better term than emotional, especially given it seemed like a choice (a poor one) to stop play rather than lashing out because he'd made a mistake.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

Mark Twain

You'd probably have got a more favourable reaction if you went with “Golf is a good walk spoiled".

No, I’m not basing my opinion on one action of one game. Whatever makes you think that? Just because you mention an event, it doesn’t mean it is is the totality of one’s opinion.

Emotional or reckless. It’s just semantics.

A quick google : Reckless" describes behavior that shows a lack of care or concern for potential dangers or consequences. It implies acting without thinking about the risks involve

I thought golf is a kind of car. Why would you be walking if you had a car?

That’s why it’s spoiled, surely, since you’d be driving rather than walking.

Irrefutable Rules of H&V no. 349:

When someone comes out with a bit of total nonsense they must always, before the night's through, come out with "I'm not allowed an opinion" or variation thereof.

Anyway, the season will prove whose opinion is nonsense. If he has a season like the last one, the opinion will be anything but!
