Never said he was dirty, never said he can't tackle well or play out from the back well... but what I did say and I stick to this, is the way he often speaks to the ref is a poor example to young players when we talk about showing respect for officials - no one needs to be a lip reader to know that Durante at times has been very colourful with his language.

Do I understand how it happens, of course I do, does it justify it, not it doesn't.

If we saw a 13 year mouth off like he does at a ref we would be appalled - he should (as all others) be held to a higher standard than what we place on kids.
