Why indeed.
Was he:- head butted, studded, elbowed, or confronted in any way.
The why is:- Why do the football fraternity stick together like flies round a honey pot?
Harry Redknapp, David Moyes and others saying it was harsh.
Wayne Rooney had already been banned in the qualifiers.
Sir Alex says at twenty four he is still maturing as a man.
There are teenage men who have died for their country, and others who would have liked to have been in their back gardens kicking a ball around with their kids.
England have won more games with him not available.
If the ban is upheld I see no rhyme nor reason why he should be seen wearing an England shirt until after the Euro Final.

Thank you Al and Welcome to Football Poets..
Too often in the shadow and wake of Hillsborough, Bradford and Heysel, your powerful and emotive lines remind us of a tragic day when 66 died and many more were injured at Ibrox .
RIP

Kev….. the Rev, of that place that rhymes with Les Fridge!

My tuppenceworth:
AE Housman or Peter Houseman?

I really, really wish I’d thought of that closing line!
Absolute classic!
Wow. That is a fantastic tale John.Thank you. Funny and sad but hysterical. You totally captured the vibe back then.I was too small to see in those huge crowds at the Bridge when i first went to Chelsea on Dec 25 ’57 (Chelsea 7-4 Portsmouth (when Greaves scored 4) but remember …ev’ry week so well …the old Peanut sellers chucking their peanuts to the crowd .And then us chucking our sixpences back .(Tanner a bag) And then stamping on them or chucking back the shells at our mates and the cops too. God Bless Mrs Michella the Crystal Palace peanut seller….and all long gone peasnut sellers.
We have one of these shirts Clik and it is beautiful.
Great poem for a boss shirt.
Lovely poem Rhys, and That Lone Ship looks a boss book.
Great poem Clik – witty and memorable, worthy of a quite remarkable occasion.
