By all means express support for CQ. No problem there. Enumerate and wax on about how he's improved and transformed and rejuvenated TM. About how he's still got more to give at TM and it'd be a shame to see him leave. But if you want to be taken as a serious professional (playing abroad also has responsibilities, not just privileges ), you ought to rethink all your words and actions.
We all know the IR officials are all incompetent baboons. But as a national team player we also need to be measured in our actions.
If the argument of ''oh, he's just a kid'' is brought up, then by that token he forfeits a lot of other privileges and benefits from fans. I thought he'd matured from his days of senseless posting and selfies and incredulous claims.
