The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 10 of the 26 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 27 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Sigurður Arnar Magnússon has agreed terms with Valur for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
