Nit of the Realm

This has irked me all week. If Fergie has really seen this incident a million times (let's hope exaggerating doesn't rub off on his impressionable young players), he would realise that the reason Ronaldo lost his balance was not because he had to avoid the oncoming figure of Mark Schwarzer but because he stuck his right leg out behind himself hoping to catch the prone keeper on his way past instead of placing it on the ground in front in a running or staying on your feet fashion.

And if he's not a cheat he would have declined the penalty and told the ref there was no contact.

But that would be the honourable thing to do wouldn't it?

And is Ronaldo suggesting the game has transformed unrecognisably since Southgate stopped playing last year that he doesn't know a dive when he sees it?

Bugger all to do with Rooney as well.

You'll be pleased to know Eamonn Dunphy agrees with you. last night on RTE he labelled Ferguson a disgrace for his lack of integrity and inability to do anything other than make excuses for his players.

He isn't alone in this, of course, but he's "supposedly" one of the most highly respected managers in the game. Respected for what?

I hope MOTD have a right go because Fergie won't be able to go on the BBC to defend him cos of his boycott.ha ha.

Respected for being a fucking cunt all the time. He's been a fucking cunt since he started and he's still being a fucking cunt now.

Hats off to the fucking cunt.
