Thanks very much for the quote Andy. Brilliant isn’t it? There simply isn’t another manager that would even think of something like this, let alone do it. A great man.
Did you ever see the BBC interview he set up after Nottm Forest won a midweek cup match and he sent out a young black apprentice to pretend to be the goalscorer (who was it?) and actually do a full BBC interview that went out on air? I vaguely recall BBC apologising the next day. Again who would ever dream of doing such a thing these days?
Apologies for the incorrect abbreviation – I’ve corrected it now. Thanks again, Paul

By the way, it is Nottm Forest or Nottingham Forest but never, ever is it Notts Forest!

Everyone was surprised when the US shocked Spain in the Confederations Cup. So if the US once again reached the finals of the 2010 World Cup, we should not raise our eyebrows again. They are a better soccer team now. – Catalina

The whole affair is a disgrace. Fifa endorse fair play, yet when push comes to shove they fail at every level. If Fifa expect the world to consider them ambassadors to fair play then they MUST replay this match, otherwise, they MUST end their fair play campaign.

A blatent hand ball used unsportingly to get a cheated goal. There should be a replay with the match re started from the time of the handball with an Irish goal kick.
