I see the Guernsey captain, Jamie Dodd has decided to leave the club. It seems that he, and 2 others played in a local game last Monday, just 2 days before the game against Corinthian Casuals. Presumably the manager wasn't happy with this and dropped them for the Casuals game. So, in what looks like a toys and pram incident, Dodd has decided to not play for Guernsey again.
He was the skipper and had played over 200 times for them.
I know that plenty of players at our level also turn out for Sunday teams etc, but is it a droppable offence? Should managers at our level expect to be able to tell players what they can and can't do in their spare time?
Depends on the terms of the contract (If they are on one).

Remember what happened to Jake! we were all pinning our hopes on him for the forthcoming season.
I suppose at the end of the day, unless on a contract, the choice is the individuals, if he wishes to risk injury and lose his main weekly game.
