“…as the referee Mike Read brandished a second yellow card…” Even I had to ROFL at that. When did Frank Butcher (aka Mike Read..not right spelling I know) become a football referee. And then I thought, Mike Reid is sadly no longer with us. So, now I understand why Fergie was upset with the red card. FYI, it was Mike Dean. Do you really know your football, I wonder?
Sigh….how the other half live hey. Sorry I mean tiny rich elite.
Congrats on the censorship….I posted an entry on Sunday night, correcting the name of the referee. You made the correction & censored my post. So, the great Alastair Campbell, alas, is no champion of free speech. The corn is slipping. BTW, you’ll censor this as well. But, never mind. As long as the truth comes out, it’s a small price to pay
Could you ask the lovely Bobby Charlton to do something about getting Mac into the National Football Hall of Fame. There’s folk in there not fit to lick his old boots clean. I wrote to the lovely Bobby about this a couple of years ago but did not receive a reply.
