HAVE IT!
While the likelihood of fans at Bramall Lane getting hit by wayward shots struck by Sheffield United players is higher than usual this season, when Football Daily heard breathless reports that their recently re-installed head coach had been shown a red card for booting the ball into some hapless bystander’s face last night, we immediately presumed he’d lost the plot and deliberately committed an aggressive act of potentially career-ending violence. It was only upon seeking out footage of the incident on some social media disgrace or another that we realised he’d done nothing of the sort. Indeed, the only crime the Blades boss was even remotely guilty of was submitting to one of humankind’s most basic and primeval urges, specifically: kicking a football that was rolling towards him. As he walked off the Bramall Lane pitch at half-time, one was tossed in the direction of some nearby substitutes who were about to warm up and happened to trundle directly into Wilder’s path. Without breaking stride, the 58-year-old undertook the civic and some might say moral obligation of every sentient male who finds themselves in a similar circumstances and put his boot through it without so much as a second’s hesitation or malice aforethought.
