Tony, agree with you on all points; I was suggesting that the FA have adopted a similar stance in the past and the principle should not be qualified by someone’s past behaviour or character.

Trust me James I don't think that John T is fit to lick Bobby Moore's boots; I personally believe that he is an odious individual who regularly brings shame on both his club and country but I was just drawing people's attention to the fact that the FA have adopted the stance of innocent until proven guilty in the past and you people's past record into account until they have been found guilty and the sanction/punishment is being considered.

Ha ha Tom : we remember the Therie Heeeenry handball in the play off that kept Ireland out of the SA WC fiinals- cheating frogs!

I suspect she has taken enough columns during her career.

Back on topic: If it has already been mentioned before then I apologise; but was not Bobby Moore accused of theft of jewellery just before the 1970 world cup finals (in Bogata?) The FA stood by him as he was innocent until proved guilty. It was a trumped up charge anyway but is it the principle that counts?

I hope you are not talking about arsewipe venger Tom - racial stereotyping..

Lofty
During the past week you have truly been in a very rich vein of form and I doff my hat in your general direction. Please continue as the laughter you are generating on this side of the Irish Sea is very therapeutic! If only our captain could hit the same form.
COYI!!
xD

This is a major opportunity for Spec Savers on the naming rights given the distance from the crowd to the pitch............^_^

A good point made Tom, I wonder if it would be possible to review the 10 point plan as part of the interview questions?

Hopefully this will settle the nerves for the second half and we can move on and win this comfortably
