That's quite clearly bollocks - Smith might be a lot of things but a coward he isn't. He put himself about on the pitch in a position he was clearly s**** at...and kept getting picked there.
Yet whenever he was really needed on the ball, he shied away. See WBA last season as an example.
I don't think he shied away, I just think he was crap
I can see people's point of view I suppose, but he never struck me as a soft, cowardly player. Just fucking pants at the majority of the skills needed to be a good central midfielder, e.g. passing and tackling.

Another reason to hate Fat Sam - Smith was clearly still fucked from his injury when he signed and was not the player he used to be. See also Geremi, Viduka etc
No point appealing. They've watched it again and thought it was, they wont exactly change their mind with a hashly put together appeal. Have a couple of weeks off Yohan and get prepared for the bamps game.
