‘If Manchester City and Aston Villa are messing about having guards of honour, they’re not taking the game as seriously as they ought to.’
Manchester City said goodbye to three club legends in John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Pep Guardiola on Sunday. They were given a rousing sendoff in their game against Aston Villa.
However, the guards of honour for Stones and Silva set tongues wagging as Wayne Rooney complained about it disrupting the game and the Football Weekly panel also took umbrage with the temporary stoppage.
Should guards of honour be allowed, or do they threaten the integrity of the game?
