Naturally he just decided to take a walk. I feel for ya buddy...

God how I have come to hate these post match interviews with the managers slagging off the referees. Ferguson's on Saturday almost made me sick listening to how these decisions could cost his club at the end of the season and how such and such decision a hundred years ago cost them the league title forgetting about the numerous other decisions that go their way during the season. ONE day a manager might say "I don't think it was the correct decision but that's football. Now as to the game we were cr*p and deserved to lose..."

Derrys just too bleedin' parochial. Two dirtbags were playing a gaming machine for ages, gave up after a while after winning nothing. Twenty minutes later I go play a few games and win a fiver. Seeing this, the dirtbags go complain to bouncers that they had 10 quid credit in it which we stole. Bouncers came over saying my mates a thief as they saw him on the cctv(he being the baby of the group and no way could ya confuse him with me!). I explained to the bouncers who were adamant I owe the dirtbags a tenner, the dirtbags kept giving my friend verbal despite being told he had nothing to do with it. I was hoping they'd threaten to get the police involved(which would have cleared me) but no, we quickly left when we realised all 4 of them were gonna start swinging.

That said, the last time I was in that bar some fella started boring me to death about the "republican struggle". He quickly took a huff with me when I asked him why he supported Chelsea instead of local football. . .

Rant over!

Oh noes! Careful with hypocrisy!

Just don't go into that bar again. I'm glad we don't have fruit machines here.

In fairness to Ferguson, isn't he forced to do those interviews? Used to be you'd see Carlos Queiroz or Mike Phelan doing it because Ferguson didn't want to be involved, but I think the FA made some rule where he has to.

**John83** · 28/11/2011, 2:36 PM

It seemed tasteless to point this out in the obituaries thread ("So farewell then...", or whatever it's called), but Gary Speed has highlighted yet again that most people don't know the difference between hanged and hung.

And it was a particularly crap decision.

A man is hanged, a dog is hung - that's what our sadistic old English teacher used to insist on telling us over and over again.

A man can be hung too (not bragging, just saying

)

Mine preferred curtains to a dog. I've heard of a dog being hung, but it's not exactly an every-day experience for kids these days. Well, I hope not. Maybe the ISPCA decided to "Road Safety Authority"-up their a puppy's not just for Christmas ads while I wasn't looking.

Yeah, though reports that Gary Speed was found hung are rather less tragic than their authors anticipated.

**Longfordian** · 28/11/2011, 8:16 PM

What utterly despicable behaviour. From him, obviously. Reinforcing the gay air steward stereotype!

I like Derry. Used to spend a fair bit of time up and around the place but it has a lot to answer for when it comes to that chap Phil Coulter.
I heard him interviewed the other day. He has this understated arrogance that really grates on me.
He referred to "Ireland's Call" (all his own work) as one of those special songs that raises goosebumps, transcends divisions, captures the magic of an occasion. (I'm paraphrasing from memory).
He also seems to have this 'airbrushed' understanding of history - ach surely sure we we were gerrymandered and oppressed but we were happy.
And then they started playing some supermarket music that he's released for christmas - traditional wee tunes given the full on orchestral treatment.
To think of the legions of decent struggling bands out there trying to make the musical world a better place while this relic takes up time on national radio makes me angry. For a few seconds.
