Sadly his name in Wales was mud before this. However, he clearly has something the Welsh public do not appreciate- whatever he does he will be damned in their eyes. On a personal level this is sad, he is flawed. Who isn't? There is no suggestion of skullduggery, of match fixing, just rule breaking. A massive ethical divide exists between the two.
I have always thought him to be a bit of a scapegoat for the Welsh press, and frankly I think he offers more than anyone here gives him credit for. I hope he deals with his betting issues and comes back stronger.
