Cardiff playing in red, at home, Manchester United playing in blue. A wee bit mad.

On another note, did I hear that Spain's defeat in midweek may be struck off the records because
they may have used too many substitutes?
I may have dreamt this but I don't think so. :ponder:
Not struck off the records but "downgraded", so no world ranking points award for the game.

It was a bit of a farce at the end, Arbeloa went into nets after Valdes got injured but Del Bosque sent on Reina even though they'd used their subs. Surely the refs fault?

Apparently South Africa told them to put on a keeper after Valdes went off.

I remember our players being a bit pissed off that an opposing keeper (Seattle Sounders?) got sent off in a friendly.

Scunthorpe fans asked not to dress as squirrels for Alan Knill return
• Former Scunthorpe manager injured in crash with rodent
• 'I was flying through the air – I could have died,' he says

Scunthorpe United fans have been asked not to dress as squirrels when Alan Knill returns in charge of Torquay on Saturday.

Knill suffered a bizarre accident last year when the manager of Scunthorpe when he collided with a squirrel while out cycling.

The rodent got caught up in his spokes and sent Knill flying off his bike. Knill survived, the squirrel died. A witness called an ambulance but Knill, who feared he might have broken his collarbone, escaped with cuts and bruises.

"It was quite serious at the time, I was flying through the air," Knill told the Scunthorpe Telegraph. "I came off my bike at 20-whatever miles an hour, an ambulance was called and everything – I could have died.

"I'm worrying every night about football, about this, about that, I could have been dead. The perspective for me was I might not have been having this conversation. [Defeats] happen but it puts a perspective on everything."

It will be Knill's first return to Glanford Park in League Two since he was sacked in October 2012 and there has been speculation in the local press as to how he will be received.

One fan tweeted the club to ask: "Will anyone wearing any 'squirrel attire' be banned from entering the ground on Saturday?"

Scunthorpe United's twitter account replied: "No you won't be banned. However, the club would prefer it if you didn't dress up in 'squirrel attire'."

Hull owner not taking too kindly to the fans protesting against their change of name:

Hull owner Assem Allam has told fans "they can die as soon as they want" in response to protests about his plans to change the club's name.

Allam, who took over in 2010, infuriated some supporters with his idea to rebrand the club Hull Tigers.

The Hull fans have formed a campaign group called City Till We Die.

But Allam told the Independent: "They can die as soon as they want, as long as they leave the club for the majority who just want to watch good football."
The 74-year-old Egypt-born businessman, who moved to Hull in 1968, first announced in August the company name had changed from Hull City AFC to Hull City Tigers, ending a part of the Yorkshire club's name which has been in effect since their formation in 1904.

Allam stated a Tigers brand would be more marketable, and considered the word "City" to be "lousy" and "common".

A number of supporters protested during the game against Crystal Palace last week by unfurling a banner which read "We are Hull City".

But the owner added: "How can they call themselves fans, these hooligans, this militant minority, when they disturb and distract the players while taking away the rights of others to watch the football, and of companies who have paid good money for advertising?"

When Hull were relegated from the Premier League in 2010 they were thought to be approximately £35m in debt but Allam insists he will walk away from the club immediately if the criticism of his proposals continues.

"I'm a simple man," he said. "Do they want me to stay? If it's, 'No thank you', fine, in 24 hours the club is for sale, I do not put in one more pound and hopefully things happen quickly."

The owner has already offered to refund season ticket holders who are unhappy with the name changes.

He clearly hasn't got a clue about what a club means to its supporters, who have paid "good money" before those advertisers came along and will pay "good money" long after he has mumped out the door, greeting.
