Doncaster Rovers manager Darren Ferguson apologises for ‘tongue-in-cheek’ comment about shooting referees
Doncaster Rovers manager, Darren Ferguson, has apologised for comments he made after yesterday's match in which he complained about the standard of referees and said they should be shot. Darren Ferguson insists he does not advocate violence against officials as he branded his controversial comments after Doncaster's 1-1 draw against Plymouth as "tongue-in-cheek". Rovers were denied a last-minute penalty at the Keepmoat Stadium when James Coppinger was felled in the box, much to the ire of Ferguson, who launched a scathing attack on referee Andy Baines. Ferguson was asked by BBC Radio Sheffield how he would like the Football Association to address the issue and the 45-year-old responded by saying: "The referees are part-time and the standard is appalling, their fitness levels are a disgrace, I've had enough of it. "What can I do? Shoot them, it would be a good idea." The former Peterborough and Preston boss moved to resolve the matter on Sunday as he apologised for his remarks. He said: … [Read more...] about Doncaster Rovers manager Darren Ferguson apologises for ‘tongue-in-cheek’ comment about shooting referees
MATCH COMMENT: WIGAN 0, POSH 0: Peterborough United are on the fringe of success
0 Have your say Grant McCann reckons Peterborough United were a decent haircut away from claiming a wonderful win in Wigan, which is a subtler, kinder way of discussing League One officials than one of his predecessors Darren Ferguson managed yesterday (January 13). Ferguson offered an extreme solution (‘shoot them’) to a problem worthy of debate. Indeed McCann has a folder of pointless apologies from those who manage the ‘unfit, disgusting’ (Ferguson’s words again) of officials who often ‘stink out’ (my words) the lower divisions.The flowing locks of Jack Marriott cost Posh two points at the DW Stadium yesterday, according to his boss. Marriott pounced to convert an 89th minute rebound after home goalkeeper Christian Walton had parried a 25-yard strike from debutant substitute Joe Ward into his path. To be fair assistant referee Helen Byrne raised her flag before the ball entered the back of the net and TV replays and photographic … [Read more...] about MATCH COMMENT: WIGAN 0, POSH 0: Peterborough United are on the fringe of success
Christian Comment with Graham Hobbs of Minchinhampton Baptist Church
Christian Comment with Graham Hobbs of Minchinhampton Baptist Church NOW the Christmas and New Year revels have passed, what do you remember? My nephew, a police inspector, doesn't always enjoy such things, especially when he has to head up policing them. There was one recent "celebration" he was particularly unhappy about. In previous years, it had involved a fun day for families but, come the evening, the families had gone home to be replaced by a crowd of mostly youngsters who would appear from towns and villages outside the area, get drunk, have fights and end up in the police cells. Naturally, my nephew wasn't looking forward to being responsible for policing this lot, especially as the local constabulary had run out of police cells the time before. Some public employees, such as teachers, MPs and many others including policemen, pray about their work. My nephew was one and, as he prayed, he got some inspiration. His mum is a Street Pastor. He contacted her to … [Read more...] about Christian Comment with Graham Hobbs of Minchinhampton Baptist Church
