Kev the overwhelming view is that the kissing of the armband exists only in someone's imagination.
Just thought I'd mention it like.

This thread is nothing but niggles. Maybe we should all show some intelligence and leave it to sleep.
It's better when done voluntarily don't you all think?

Ah fuc k off.

And stay fu cked off. I've never read such an ill informed load of bollocks in all my life and trust me I read some crap. I've got a better grasp of the situation that you have, even if you were at the game, and I live in China.[/quote]

Thanks for that. I probably will not come back because I only signed up in the first place to defend some of your fans' ignorant attacks on our players. If you feel that you are in a better position to comment on something when you were thousands of miles away at the time then fair enough. Obviously you saw exactly what happened from China so I bow to your superior knowledge.

OK Mr Observer and defender of the righteous.

What do you think, armband kissing aside, which seems to be an ambiguous opinion, incensed Barker?? A 32 year old, well travelled professional who takes a hammering EVERY game that would fell most shire horses without retaliation, comment or complaint??

Because even from 5500 miles away the human condition doesn't vary much.

So while you're bandying around the word 'ignorant......................'

And yes, you'll still be there.. the "I'm not ever coming here again' card is the one played on football message boards more than any other. How tedious
