Mick, in the link you posted about Celtic's donation, it said that the club had lost players in the 1st World War. You'd think even the most narrow minded Celtic fan could at least do a minute's silence in their memory. Today, a German in an Arsenal shirt will stand in silence out of respect. Some people have moved on...

At the EDF's Meet Your Favourite Poster drinks night, everyone's illusions of HonaB being a Wildean, louche, bohemian man-about-town, complete with wide brimmed hat and flowing cape, are shattered when he turns out to be a trainspotter called Bert living in a bedsit in Penge... http://farm1.staticflickr.com/67/157933772_835d593187_z.jpg ''No I haven't seen the R class steam locomotive number R707'' said numbers feigning interest...

Would that be the lowly Spaniards who finished 4th* in La Liga, the league that you said was far superior to the Prem League? Keep shooting yourself in the foot PD, it's definitely chuckle time over here... *4th as in Arsenal finished 4th

Maybe, but the problem with that is that Young did have his shirt tugged, so then you are getting into what level of tugging constitutes a foul, as well as other factors such as the speed the player was travelling at, ground conditions, was it slippy. Nothing is failsafe, and ultimately it comes down to one man's interpretation, the ref or a.n.other. What gets me in all this, is that it's always the attacking player that is branded the cheat, never the defender. Tugging on a shirt is not exactly playing the game in a fair spirit, but it seems to be accepted. Last night Vidic was elbowed off the ball as he went up for a corner, a foul and penalty, but the defender got away with it. Is he not a cheat too in the spirit of the game?...

Not so sure Mick. What if Hernandez had been fouled last night before he fluffed it from 1 yard out? Nothing is 100% certain. You'll also get farcical situations where a team is awarded a free kick instead of a penalty a couple of yards from the goal line. The only way to limit diving is to retrospectivly punish players clearly found guilty by TV replays. The FA have just started doing this re. violent play missed by the ref, i.e. Riether's stamp on Januzaj. It won't stop it as these tend to be 'heat of the moment' incidents, but at least something is being done...
