Same old Manc drivel, Ferguson was one who susggested that there was a conspiracy against Rooney, or have you, like Ferguson last night with the penalty, not seen that. What a good impersonation of Wenger that was. Bitter and twisted Mancs. Yawn.

Cheers Chavski. Fergusons comments bemoaning the refs decisions going against them were steeped in irony. Luiz not being sent off was his chief gripe. Has he never heard of karma? What goes around comes around eh Fergie? Rooney should have been serving a ban so strictly speaking shouldn't have been on the the pitch for Luiz to foul, but hey, I'm not arguing. And Vidic out for Liverpool game. Oh dear!!

Sort of. I'm afraid I can't condone that kind of behaviour especially when its inflicted on the current manager of Celtic. Absolutely dreadful. ;-)

Mr Cole has never been overly blessed in the brain department, and his conduct on and off the pitch for many years has been less than good.

On the subject on players misbehaving on the pitch, i.e. elbows and such, a very interesting point was raised on a phone in show recently. If an individual commited an offence such as elbowing a member of the public in the head/face, they would be done for assault. I seem to recall a few seasons back a particularly nasty incident involving a Sheffield United player who caused extensive head injuries to an opponent and didn't get so much as a yellow card for an offence which would have been deemed as GBH on the street. So I ask this, why do the footballing authorities seem to think that players are exempt from the laws of the land once they cross the touch line? I'm in favour of stricter rules and harsher punishments for thuggish behaviour. I don't buy the "it's a contact sport" shite I'm afraid. Contact sport is one thing, assault is another.

I was rather hoping you wouldn't be sticking your head over the parapet following the defeat of your (second) team at the hands of Motherwell. We live in hope. Perhaps you chose not read the post I put on here congratulating Birmingham on their win? Why would that not surprise me.

I bet Chavski fans are happy this morning, Cashley Hole has managed to get a shot on target!

Good performance by England on Saturday, Wilko, yet agin, makes an immediate impact.

Well done Birmingham and especially West Ham. West Ham pleayed round the Liverpool side at times as if it were a training session. Oh the joys of being a football supporter.

Most clubs in the prem are decent sides, the SPL, on the other hand, has 2 or 3 at best.

Only strain here is having to read drivel posted by plums like you. Unlike Celtic, we play decent teams week in week out, and not just Rangers. Now jog on.
