It will be interesting to see what happens if he scores a goal. Will the fans sit in silence? What if it's not obvious whether it was him or someone else that touched the ball? Sit in silence and wait confirmation it was the other guy before cheering? Or will they just treat him normally? I can imagine a strange atmosphere at first. I'd be surprised if there's anything particularly unusual about it - they keep talking about these petitions being signed by thousands of fans of {insert club here} when clearly they haven't - it's anyone who objects to him playing full stop (many of which would be completely uninterested in football). I'd imagine his first goal will be celebrated uproariously, as normal, and I'd not be at all surprised if he gets a decent reception when he runs out for his first home game (from the home fans, at least - the away section will give him Hell) Probably true actually. I always hoped Ronaldo would get some stick when he came back from the World Cup after he got Rooney sent off but the Man U fans continued to worship him as normal.

Incidentally, I read somewhere the lady was 2.5 times the drink driving limit (by estimation). Sadly I can't remember where I read it so I can't cite it directly, but it would almost certainly have been either here or on the BBC. If that's the case, that doesn't seem in the levels of incapacity to me - I'd see that as probably about 4-5 pints - I'd say pssed, but certainly not incapable. Could all be sht, of course, depending on a) where I read it b) who it was quoting c) whether it's accurate Please ignore if I've got the facts wrong
