Totem man hot; spurred on

[Aperitif]

Hard done by? Or has the usual petulance reared its ugly head. I confess to not knowing much. Football is an even tighter niche in the study of life but surely the referee is always right and that soccer players are gentlemen?
I know this person is Harold Redknapp of Tottenham Hotspurs - PS. I love the way that all pros have their initials on each item of clothing.
How would you improve this popular sport and remove as much controversy as possible, allowing the players free rein to deploy their skills?


Sorry - forgot a link to the relevant article.

Another useful photo to explain the long face.

I'd introduce a complete Golden Goal rule. First team to score wins, game over. Then, any time suddenly freed up on the TV schedules could be filled with Tom and Jerry and Pink Panther cartoons, like they used to do when the cricket was rained off.

Well, I watched it and I can't see why Harry was getting so twined. Even if the referee should have blown for a handball - and I'm not sure that he should - it was clear from his hand gestures that he was not awarding a free kick and the ball was still in play.

Much though it grieves me to give MUFC the benefit of any doubt, Spurs only have themselves to blame.
