The most infuriating thing is that in 'normal' life I know that if a person acted like that they would get their comeuppance eventually. The 'real' world doesn't let people get away with acting like spoilt children for too long without being knocked down a peg or two. However in the absurd world of football it will probably not really negatively affect his career, he will still earn millions, and be hailed as a hero by some during his career (Marseille and France fans mainly).
So John Motson is retiring and the BBC are playing highlights of his 50 years of commentating: "Oh my word, Radford has scored a goal!" "Tigana, Tigana ... Platini. 3-2!" "Wimbledon have won the FA Cup!"
Could somebody explain to me why television football commentators even exist. Radio commentators, perhaps. But if I sat next to somebody in the stand, or in my living room, and shouted in their ear "Noble sideways ... Madline slaloms through a static West Ham defence and that's a fourth for Bolton Wanderers!" for 90 minutes I would expect to be punched in the head. Repeatedly. Why exactly do I need somebody doing it to me?
I just looked on my profile to see if its listed there and I couldnt find it ;hmm So Florin (thank you for the well wishes) must have impress investigative skills as I can confirm it is my Birthday ;wahoo ;nolan ;barrera
Hi All ;wave The Sledge Family send their love . Miss Sledge (Emma) got married on Saturday and obviously Sledgehammer was sadly missed . The photo shows claret and blue balloons being released at the reception in his memory. Emma is the one in white and I am furthest left ;hug ;champagne ;champagne

Such an odious man.
He'll be playing in the Group Stage of Europa League this season, something he wouldn't have done with us.
Whilst on holiday, a local radio station was playing an advert which included the following:
"To err is human, to blame it on someone else shows management potential"
"Oh my word, Radford has scored a goal!"
"Tigana, Tigana ... Platini. 3-2!"
"Wimbledon have won the FA Cup!"

Couple more years the club might let you in to see 'em
Saw this the other day. Is it really terrible if I can see us conceding any one of those? It just seems to be our kind of luck
And a ;beer in memory of Sledge
I thought it was funny up until that point. Then it seemed to be saying men (footballers) kissing each other is a bad thing and should be stopped.
Personally, I'd like to see lots more kissing and a bit less kicking ;biggrin
(Except for Vardy ;wink )
