I knowit's not in Bales character to show that much emotion, he's a laid back bloke, but he does have a duty to show some enthusiasm like he did in the champions league interview straight after the Liverpool game. He has so much ability.
It didn’t turn out too bad for him, you’re right, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t hold a grudge. There was a bit of a hoo-ha at the time, suspensions, fines, withholding of wages, going back home to Edinburgh, MP involved etc, a bit more involved than just being released or leaving of his own accord.
