That doesn’t necessarily suggest that. It suggests he was answering a tricky question in a press conference and took a neutral stance.

I thought reading the context it was basically team level authorisation to make a stand.

In the actual context it clearly didn’t mean that. Collins has even had criticism over not taking a firmer stand.

His stand in his comments was we will do what the FAI says but we won't be against any players making a stand. That seems pretty clearly condoning any stand.
