Don't know how Suarez didn't get a pen. His reputation or just not a good view for the ref?

Hilarious!

No disallowed goals. No dodgy refereeing decisions. No Fergie time. COYS!

[bon3yard]

Fergies become increasingly less flammable over the years so its always nice to see him do his rabid & ruddy ref denunciation(That was well alliterative). Funny as feck. We rode our luck somewhat in the 2nd half but given our appalling lack of fortune up there usually I thought that was fair enough. Good to see yet another Sun journalist get shown up for the shit stirring tit he was. Stand up Paul Jiggins and his one man mission to upset the AVB applecart.

There might not have been any dodgy refereeing decision agianst Spurs, but there was against Utd i.e the clear foul on Nani...still, we'll move on and not keep griping on about it in years to come ;-)

Fergie actually had a relevant point about taking the role of working out added time-on from the referee, like they do in rugby - from The Guardian...

Sir Alex Ferguson complained that not enough injury time was played at the end of Manchester United's 3-2 defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford on Saturday, and amid the predictable guffawing about "Fergie time," he was right. Roughly, 30 seconds were lost for each United goal, a minute for the Spurs goal, a minute for the Rooney free-kick that hit the post and two minutes for substitutions. So, close to five minutes total, in a game that last only 94min 28sec ? and that's without factoring in the time-wasting that went on every time the ball went out of play for a Spurs restart.

Don't buy The Sun.

@Red Devil - hurts doesn't it.

[red devil]

Not really, besides, once in 23 years is a good trade-off...glad you enjoyed your cup final ;-)

[Jah Lush]

What made it so good was that The Wanderers lost at home too. Still, Gervino finally found the net for them but I think Olivier Giroud is another one to look out for. He's an amazingly versatile player, he can miss from anywhere with either foot or even his head.

Good to see Jarvis start - be even better when Carroll does too.

8 yellows though, Clattenburg went a bit bonkers.

Can't see Sparky surviving this one.

*waves goodbye and spots Harry Rednapp lurking in shadows under the stands...

Like Bent used to when he played for 'Arry. ;)

You'll certainly keep them amused that's for sure.

He's been given the Chairman's vote of confidence...what shall we say, end of the week?

[Otta]

The best thing about that was that the chairman said "look at his record", as if it was a posative thing. Surely if you'd looked at his record you never would have employed the tw@t.

[Chippy Minton]

I can understand why Colin was sacked and Sparky was hired. If nothing else, he had much more Premiership experience than Colin.

I agree, he'll be lucky to see out the week though.

[Jah Lush]

Indeed! Look at his record. If he's not sacked he jumps ship. I think he'll be found wanting and in the final analysis will be proved that he's not as good as he thinks he is. Unless things improve drastically he'll be gone by the end of the month one way or another.

[Mick Mac]

Celtic win away from home in the Champions League for the first time ever.

Spartak Moscow 2 Celtic 3 ..... Get in ! That was one statistic I was beginning to think would go on forever.

[SCSB79]

An own goal and a man sent off to help you do it - swashbuckling football from Lennon's Lionesses.

[Mick Mac]

You should get behind the Scottish teams in Europe.

There speaks a man with a sense of humour. Well played.

[Mick Mac]

Rangers have an equally tricky statistic to get rid of as they have yet to win away from home in the Scottish Third Division. That one could also run for a while.

Annan Athletic's home form looks a bit suspect, so you may have a chance there. Are they amateur or semi professional?

( ;-) - for PGC only)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I lived outside of Annan for a while. Divided loyalties on this one.

come on RD what are the scores on the doors?
