00:34 And I don't think that that's where, well, it's never been where my focus lies.
00:40 I don't care about that stuff. And to be honest, if I saw one of my players do it,
00:43 I'd be saying, "Mate, well, seriously, get the ball and play some football."

00:51 I don't care about it. It makes no impact on me, never has. It's like, you know, let's just play some football, mate.
