Diving the old Liverpool way
On ITV on Wednesday, Kenny Dalglish reckoned that Eduardo dived because he was “a foreigner”. When it was put to him that English players dived too, King Kenny said it was the foreign players fault for bringing in into the game.

How to get an All-Ireland final ticket
Understandably enough you’re starting to worry. You’re sure you’ve tried every possible avenue; the lad at work from the club in Mayo, the brother’s girlfriend’s cousin who cleans the windows in Ken’s sports shop, the PP, the curate – you’ve got cold feet halfway up the Bishop’s driveway.

Big Ron double jobbing
No wonder Big Ron was always quick to recognise a double-banking job. Here he is in 1990 managing and commentating on Sheffield Wednesday at the same time. After the Owls proved rather too easy oasy through the first half, Ron returned to the dugout at half time.
