Setanta out for four, but Blues want him back

Authored by: Stephen Alomes

There is often a complex human story behind footballers and how they perform.

The other story is the cultural difference, which I wrote about in the article about Australian Football-GAA relations, 'A Meeting of Cultures'.

In Australia, the cardinal sin is kicking (which was the last act in this little video performance which was then used in the newspaper photos as well.). Mike Sheahan argues in the Herald Sun that in Ireland punching is seen as worse.
While the popular assumption of media pundits and public is that Carlton would simply sack Setanta O'Hailpin, this would involve a payout of his contract.
The other question, as in the Cousins story, is the 'duty of care' - helping players through their personal difficulties.
And for those with a different, black humour, view of the world, one former Carlton player found it amusing that an ex-Collingwood player was kicked when he was down.
