Remember Keith Curle?
He's the Carlisle manager who caused quite the stir a couple of months back for
comments he made about Alex Marrow and Belfast born Daniel Kearns.
Well, Curle has turned up his quote generator again in recent days, using a particularly graphic turn of phrase to describe his side's 3-1 defeat to Accrington Stanley yesterday.
Rather than beating around the bush, Curle chose to speak his mind to the press after the defeat, saying his players didn't show enough "male genitalia" in defeat.
"We’ve got to play people with the male genitalia to go out and play, but I don’t think I can do that as I’d only start with five or six players because I don’t think there are players there that have got the male genitalia."
Most managers would mention heart, desire, or even the more witty ones would take about balls being needed, but not Curle.
"I’ve had to tell players individually what I thought of their performances, and yes it did get personal.
"There’s no spirit in that changing room - they’ve got no male genitalia. They are weak, and we need a reaction."
As an aside, I'm 99 percent certain this is the first time since I started at SportsJOE that I've had to use the term "male genitalia" in an article.
