Putting the football to one side, given Sail the arm band, in Smiths absence I would only assume was pre planned by the coach, in the event Smith came off - which was always likely as a sub (unless he was rewarding him for his part in the fudge up and Smiths sending off)
Giving it to him ahead of others on the pitch shows what type of coach we have as hopefully only an interim.
