Can't believe they are still going to him for his opinions.

Why did it take humiliation at OT to finally act? Where should the line between backing players and wider interests of football be drawn?

@PiaraPowar You're a fool of a man who's said nothing useful & instead racially abused someone....with no apologies. Do you see the irony???

@PiaraPowar think your misunderstanding. #LFC apologised for what happened at OT, nothing else. There is no admission of guilt.

Just done a little Googling on him.Originally posted by Reece View Post
Apprently he knows nothing of the proceedure used to select the monitor who reported setarian chanting by Rangers fans back in 2007 but insists it is fair. UEFA who had monitors at the game reported nothing, but the monitor from FARE did.
He was at the time, and maybe still is, an ambassador for a group called OnSide along with a former Celtic player. The are a susiduary group of a company partially owned by the son of a Celtic director.
I'm not suggesting the Paira is crooked, but why journalists are asking him the questions they are is a mystery to me.

It's an interesting code of ethics Sir Alex Ferguson lives by when it comes to footballers.
Kung-fu kick a fan? That's fine. Sleep with your brother's wife? No problem. Bed an OAP prostitute? Splendid. Admit to deliberately trying to break an opponent's leg? Boys will be boys. Refuse to shake hands with an opponent? Ban for life.
Everyone will have a view on Luis Suarez's conduct on Saturday but far more unpalatable was the fact that Fergie was allowed to poke his purple nose into another club's business without censure.
Bookies Boylesports are betting on whether the outdated Premier League pre-match handshake tradition will be scrapped by next season and at 12-1 I'd say that's a very good bet.
More interesting, though, is the betting, next time the two North West giants meet, on whether Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish will shake hands with his Scottish nemesis.
Dalglish will be fuming that he's been forced into a humiliating climbdown by a PR drive at Anfield while Fergie has been allowed to escape scot-free for his incendiary comments.
Fergie should tread warily on the race row. Last time he got involved in a race row, Rock Of Gibraltar cost him a fortune.
BetVictor offer 16-1 for the two Scots not to shake when United next face Liverpool. Not a good bet -Dalglish will shake with rage.
Suarez's dignified response to scoring and his equally dignified response to Patrice Evra's dangerously provocative gloating should have spared him the vitriol heaped on him because of a) his decision not to shake the Frenchman's hand, and b) his decision to be Uruguayan.
Wayne Bridge was a hero when he snubbed John Terry's handshake; Samir Nasri drew no criticism for a similar snub to William Gallas. But Suarez has been deemed the villain in a media pantomime so even if he'd sponsored a Mother Teresa fun run around the Old Trafford pitch on Saturday you suspect he'd have been castigated for cruelty to pensioners. Wayne Rooney would merely have asked for her number"With Ron Yeats in defence, we could play Arthur Askey in goal."
