No media backlash against Man United fans then? (or even coverage of this. Well, I am shocked..) http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/feb/03/manchester-united-fan-racist-abuse-stoke
Christ almighty. Getting anyone to express a real opinion on MotD is like drawing blood from a stone at the best of times, and when somebody finally does, Alex Ferguson gets his knickers in a twist about it.
He'll probably strop and stop talking to the BBC again soon.
Why are you shocked? None of our players have just been charged with racism
And for the record you're the second person to post that link today
So for the fan base to be accused and demonised as mindless racists the club needs to have a player charged 1st
Good job Peter Schmeichel racists comments were swept under the carpet then eh
I laugh at your posts enough as it is, no need to add mates to the end.
In other news, the jury is considering its verdict in the Redknapp trial. From the little I've followed, I can't see how he can be found guilty. It appears the prosecution's entire case is based around a recording of a conversation he gave with a NOTW journo where he admits the money was a bonus for the Crouch deal, however as Redknapp's defense says, Redknapp was under no obligation to tell the journo the truth about such matters.
The reporter was claiming Redknapp took a bung, it's up to him how he wants to respond to that claim. By saying nothing he risked the NOTW reporting that he took bungs.
There was no obligation on Redknapp's part to tell a journo the truth.
Wut? By saying nothing he risked the NOTW reporting he took a bung but by lying he risked them reporting he evaded tax? Didn't really help much
How would the NOTW know whether any tax was paid on the payment?![]()
