Sportsmanship... French style.
Permalink  

Not a football post... honest.

Our french friends have impressed us once again with their handling of a tense situation!

Ryan Giggs' late winner for Manchester United almost sparked a walk-out from angry Lille players at the climax of a controversial Champions League clash.

Giggs curled in a quick free-kick after 83 minutes while Lille were still assembling their defensive wall.

Lille players, furious that an earlier header by Peter Odemwingie had been ruled out, walked off the pitch as the last 16 first leg clash boiled over.

They eventually returned, and United held on for a crucial victory.

That's right. The french team said "If you don't let us win, then you can't play with our ball!"

This was the same match where this happened:

But the main talking point of a drab first 45 minutes were the worrying scenes involving United's supporters, with too many appearing to be packed in lower tier of the away section.

Dozens of United supporters were concerned, and French police appeared to respond to a genuine security problem by firing off tear gas.

They'd obviously run out of white flags...

unloved

Can't belive I let this one run for 10 days

Agree with you about the game though - shocking performance by the Fench, although they did get a goal disallowed, which might have been a bit peeving

What's my current tally on the 'unloved's? I'm itching to smite someone. But who...?

Dunno, sadly I'm not as omnipotent as I was otherwise I'd tell you.

Counting would take effort, so you'll have to guess.

However, smite away, you're the king after all

Really, instead of smiting, I think you should use your time productively & invent someway of automatically recording a response for those times when we laugh, but have nothing to add. (Or maybe a "default reply" button - I'd make that amount of effort!)

I'm kind of missing the old posting window, as well. The one where you could copy and paste smilies and images...

The new one's kind of cack, no?

Is this is a temporary deal, or not so much?

Try the 'advanced' one for a bit! You know the one that everyone said was rubbisher.
