Remarks players ignore as the team comes in (6)
I believe the answer is:
asides
'remarks' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Incidental remarks' mean 'asides' so perhaps 'remarks' could also mean 'asides')
'as the team comes in' is the wordplay.
'the team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'comes in' is an insertion indicator.
'as' placed around 'side' is 'ASIDES'.
'players ignore' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asides that I've seen before include "throwaway comments" , "Incidental remarks" , "Actors' remarks in an undertone" , "Words spoken in undertones" , "Stage whisper" .)
