One last point here, at the risk of ruining everyone's day, let's think back to 1986 and "the Hand of God". In his recent memoir, Maradona recounted how he was trying desperately to get his teammates to come and celebrate the goal with him. They were expecting a free kick to England as was 98% of the world (i.e. everyone except those watching in Argentina...and Willo), but that stumpy cheat was begging them to join him in celebrating because he was the first to realise that the referee was going to allow it. Anyone wish they'd spent 30 seconds, or even a minute, to have another look at that one? In reality, it would take about 10 seconds: 9 seconds to rewind the tape and 1 second to see the handball. And then they had the gall to stick a commemorative plaque to the cheating b'staad on the wall of the Azteca. Edited by YT (01 Jun 2017 5.14pm)

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |
