But some people are just bad eggs and can't be helped.
I would say that the actual number of people like this is insignificant compared to the number of people that are labelled as such.

People are generally shaped into who they become, but a lot of the time it's a difficult thing to find the will to change their circumstances and actions.

Good point, Jim.

I'll readily admit almost everyone can be shaped, but there are also various degrees of shaping needed.

For some, one heart-to-heart talk does the trick. For others, it requires constant, consistant and concerted effort and intervention to get them on the right path. And to get them to stick to it.

I'm big on player welfare, and I'm not absolving the club. But the club could only be expected to do so much; they were Fev's employer, not his parents.

Nature vs Nuture. Nature always wins at least according to Wedding Crashers.

I haven’t watched it yet, but it doesn’t really fill the void I think.
I would just love to see some footage of the new guys running around, build some anticipation and excitement.
It’s like that song - one word, one letter, one lie and I’ll feel a whole lot better!

Actually its nature through nurture. Genetic predispositions can be ameliorated or exacerbated the subject's environment.

e.g. If you have 'tall' in your genetic makeup but are neglected and malnourished as a child, you wont be very tall.

They'd be doing a lot more match simulation at the moment, hence the hesitation to publish videos. That said, it's a bit lazy really considering that heaps of footage is still being taken on a daily basis.

Nature vs neuter.... I know which one I'd pick....
Nutella vs Nuttelex
