Maradona being allowed manage an otherwise potentially wc winning Argentinian squad in 2006.  And leaving Zanetti out of the squad just for good measure.

Wow. I knew Norman had expressed his support for the gesture. I didn't realise how far that support went. Thank you for the link.

Very interesting article. I didn't realise Australia had Apartheid Laws as late as that.

I saw the movie Jackie about the first black Major League Baseball player, Jackie Robinson. Naked racism is a very sick form of illness.

Tony Keady ban in 1989

We had worse in 85 final. Joe Cooney hit a shot that went in to the net but hit the goalie's puck out hurl and bounced back out. Umpire somehow thought it hit the post and we went on to lose by 2 points.
