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...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
