Pires was first up for a burst of Burke bile. Actually I have no problem with a player 'making the most of a challenge' in the box but two things.
First, it was a pathetic dive in first place and secondly, he allegedly apologised to the guy afterwards. 

Booby, if you are going to be a cheat be a good one. None of this “I’m sorry” pants. Maradona had the right idea. Commit hideous handball and tell the world’s press to get it right up them. That’s how to it Bobby boy.

On Sunday I had another rant during the Brum Fulham game. The boy Purse had a pathetic attempt at a right hook on a Fulham player who went down like a sack of spuds. 

Now again there are two things about this. If you are going to land a punch, make it a good one. The other thing is, are football players a bunch of big girls?

There was a slight altercation in a pub a couple of weeks ago. A few right good punches were landed. Did anyone at anytime fall to the deck writhing in agony? No. You watch ice hockey or rugby and they are whacking the bejesus out of each other and yet no-one ever hits the deck.

Big girls blouses, the lot of them!
