ok I quite like that one. It totally encapsulates everything about my life, and almost has a three-dimensional vibe.

Jeez so would I with a giant blonde ghost on the pitch. That’s even scarier than Martin Keown, and he doesn’t have a camera covering his whiskers.

It’s the mindset of the modern player, and it’s encouraged by the managers.

Imagine not disputing every single decision and then having to face Fergie in the dressing room at half-time. Who must surely see it as a constant game of pressure on the officials and so condone it. Not that I’m picking on Ol’ Red Face but you get what I mean. I think they call it being “professional”.

Was there ever a referee who parentage could not be disputed ?

[toybulldog]

I remember Gordon Hill the Ref and not the Man Utd player, and Jack Taylor who gave that disputed penalty to the Dutch in the 74 World Cup Final, although as the Germans won that game he largely escaped censure. And Clive Thomas of course, he was a character.

The last manager whose teams truly respected the ref was Cloughie I think. What is the point of arguing anyway when decisions are (almost) never overturned. Or a player having a big tantrum in front of millions when the cameras can show they were entirely in the wrong within seconds. How bloody juvenile is that ?

Player antics these days make the game less interesting and not more so, in my humble opinion. Like Ashley Cole turning his back on the official in the game at White Hart Lane last season; it makes me almost want to have to slightly criticise the wife-cheating two-faced greedy little bastad.

the more things change, the more they remain the same huh ?

Shakespeare knew a thing or two about life, ravaged as he was in the Warwickshire cornfields by an older woman. To whom in his will he left his “second best bed” lol.

And he had a whole new language to invent and apply to these everyday events. Just because they threw this stuff at you in school doesn’t mean it’s not cool. Later you learn that some of it may be even timeless……………………

We can probably all agree that there was a lot more respect from players in the old days, grudging or otherwise, for the man in the middle.
