Publicly Slammed
It's not every day that your article gets read out at a press conference and you get publicly slammed by a football coach.But that happened to me last week.
The coach strolls into the room bearing my article and asks for my name.
He then proceeds to let everyone know what he thought about my story, and saying that I knew nothing about football.
I kept my cool - no point getting into an argument with an arrogant person.
Well, I stood by what I wrote - his team were outplayed by their opponents and I wrote it that way.
To cut the long story short, he was sacked two days later.
His team drew with Singapore, got knocked out of the tournament and he was fired the next day.
As one senior colleague once told a coach: "Don't be so yaya now. When you leave your job, I'll still be around to write your obituary."
