I don't know. I think he should feel a bit peeved. Palace could have done with that result and I've always had as soft spot for them. I also think he's the sort of character we need in the game (I am ducking for cover), I just loved that quote from him about managing Wednesday.
I have yet to see a game where the the Ref or Linesman does not get one call wrong. Human error has to be accounted for. However, you can't ban linesman or refs for giving a corner when it should have been a goalkick. He should be more concerned about his team's defending on that corner. Can you imagine if a Ref came out and said Warnock should be banned from managing for a month because he made a tactical error or bad decision. As for him being a 'character',this is the manager who once tried to encourage one of his players to break an opponents leg. Yeah we really need blokes like him in the game.

Ok, ok. Be calm Jimmy. It was just an opinion. I never said he was perfect. I think that it's a bit unfair to say that he shouldn't want some sort of disciplinary action against the linesman. He made a mistake, which, as you say happens, but it was a fairly crucial one. He was quoted as saying that he had been told that if the decision is wrong then the official will be suspended and he added he hoped he was for a long time. Fair enough I say.


You are in good company here as I am the only person that will defend Warnock. I think the other must still be in bed. ;-)


Just to add, I don't think there are many managers out there who haven't encouraged their players, at one time or another, to clatter and opponent. I just donh't think you hear about it.

Warnock once stood on the touchline and mouthed to one of his players to 'break his leg' regarding an opponent when he was ay Sheffield Utd. Whilst saying this he used to his foot in s stamping action to enforce his point. I thought that was a disgrace. I think Warnock is a bit like ole Vinegar face over at the Emirates. A real whinger. And as for the corner decision, I have to again repeat, what about his team's defending on that corner? It was poor. He should accept responsibility for this rather then moaning about the linesman.
When Colin made that gesture he intended no such thing...he just wanted the guy to get stuck in. Roughly half Sheffield United's supporters thought he was a poor manager too, but they were idiots really, given how many of Warnock's predecessors had ignominiously failed to get United into the Premier. It was a 10 point gap and they were cheated out of it...West Ham supporters like to cultivate the opposite myth though..
Warnock's gesture was for the guy just to get stuck in? Yes that's what he said when he was busted by being caught on camera doing it. The bloke's a dinosaur. He's clueless if you ask me. I saw a fly on the wall documentary once and it showed him giving a half time team talk. All he could do was shout and swear. There was not one tactical nugget in anything he had to say.
CL tomorrow night, be interesting to see how the Milan old boys shape up against the young guns of United. Putting aside reputations I think it will still be a tight affair. Rooney is obviously the star man but could it be a night when Beckham rolls back the years and cons the Ref with a little dive outside box and scores winning free kick... now that be nice! Not that I condone tricksters but seeing United having to swallow their own medicine would be very satisfying.

I saw the same series. It never occurred to you that the presence of the TV cameras was in any way influencing what Colin was saying/shouting/ranting about then? :)) It's funny too how he always finds employment. I see the latest rumour has him heading for QPR if Palace go bust...

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
