It is not often a person finds himself in a modern day version of ‘Plane, Trains and Automobiles’. While Steve Martin wasn’t my travel companion of choice on this occasion and I certainly wasn’t desperate to get home for Christmas, I was hoping the good people of Heineken would ensure the simple journey from our …0 comments | Read more »
Does a weekend ever go past without some sort of refereeing controversy that provokes a clamour for technology to be introduced into football, or assistance from the 4th official in order to improve decision making.

There is little doubt in mind that tomorrow afternoon will reveal what has been one of the greatest cover ups (not only in football) in history – as I fully expect the Hillsborough Independent Panel to reveal damning verdicts on both the South Yorkshire Police and the emergency services for their handling and reaction on …0 comments | Read more »
