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...

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
