That may be so, but I'm not sure I care enough to have to read about it every blimming week.

Ferguson gets fined a few hundred quid every time he refuses an interview, the club pays it.
I don't understand why it's an offence. Who cares?

When I was watching the game yesterday it struck me as odd at the time that the commentary team didn't give any credit to the ref's assistant when she correctly let play go on for the first goal. It was a big decision and she got it right. Usually they say "the linesman's done well there" or "credit to the linesman", but there wasn't a word.

Spot on Badge. Imagine if she'd got the decision wrong? There would have been about 750 replays.
I expect they were to busy giggling about the way her boob giggled when she ran to commentate. 
This story has legs. I just caught a bit of talk on 5 Live's Stephen Nolan Show. Of course when I realised it was the Stephen Nolan Show I turned it straight off. But they were talking about it.
