Stand Up And Be Counted

I have to say I am someone who believes you should face up to your responsibilities and the consequences of your actions.

For example, if you are going to infer that a referee is not just incompetent but bias, then you must be prepared to justify such a slanderous allegation.

You have to be willing to stick to your decisions, even if it means you are freefalling down the Premiership.

Or steel yourself for a blasting from Alex McLeish if you choose to attack one of his players.

And of course if you are going to make babies, you should be prepared to sacrifice even the most important of matches to be at the birth.

Not that there aren't times when people speak up and appear to be showing courage but in fact the sub-text reads something different. Like when your Board make a public declaration of support for you. Then you know you really are in trouble.
