Think the attitude of the Kings Lynn players in Monday's final was absolutely appaling!
Giving their medals straight away as soon as they had been given them is quite frankly an embarrassment to themselves as well as the league. Players like White and Thurlbourne. L need to have a long look at themselves and think why it is they are playing in the UCL. The answer being is because they are UCL players with a stinking attitude. They are playing at a team who in 2 years have won nothing, when they think they are the best players to grace a football pitch.
On a positive thought St Ives fully deserved their win and played the better football throughout! Difficult job for Jez to keep hold of young Washington who was a different class yesterday!

Its an interesting habit that seems to have been started by good old Jose Mourinho. They were a poor side well beaten on Monday but I suppose you can see both sides.
(1) get rid of the medal as we were awful and I dont want it.
(2) give it to a loyal fan who has spent a lot of money and supporter us all season.

Ross Watson in particular has given away his last 3 medals,2 of them to my girlfriends daughter,she has a signed picture of the first time which takes pride of place,and to be given a second one after the game on Monday made her day!
To follow just an extract from a column Ross writes for the EDP,written before the cup game;
I’ve never kept a medal, even a winner’s one, because things like that don’t bother me. I prefer to see things in the history books so when I sit down at the age of 35 or so and look back at what I’ve achieved I can see it there in black and white.
I especially don’t want a medal if it’s a runners-up one, so I gave mine away to a fan. In my eyes it’s a little gift to say thanks for all the support we’ve had this season. It’s just a shame I couldn’t give the woman a winner’s one.
Hope that makes things a bit clearer for some of you?

You know what? It's easy to see something and jump to your own conclusions - I do it all to often but sometimes I remember to just to stop and think ...
Instead of taking the easy negative view, take a considered positive view and you know what, it's a much better feeling. In an age of ultra-fast communication its so easy to get it wrong with all of the usual consequences. There's a saying that goes something like "Don't judge others by your own standards". What you think and say about others and their actions tells much about what's going inside you!
I can't speak for the rest of the teams but young Watson is a good lad and the Grissle has fought his corner with good cause.

It's all well and good that might be what they do! However having a bit of decorum about them would be good rather than give it away immediately. Perhaps if Kings Lynn ever reach a final again they may as well not have the money wasted on medals for them!
Jeff, thought Yaxley did a great job in hosting the final!
