Top comment there - "I don't know what Paddy Crerand has for breakfast but perhaps he should take more water with it."

As Albert said in "The Football Factory"; what a wanker.

Crerand is something of an expert on the subject of spitting.

I've posted this before after the Bogbrush/Zab episode but time to dust it off again-


From a Referee's Forum.

The laws of football didn't bother with spitting until the nation was shocked in 1968, when on Match of the Day, Pat Crerand of Manchester United spat into the face of an opponent. At the end of that season, the International Football Association Board, who compile the laws of the game, hastily added an International Board Decision. This was not part of the law but an interpretation
which referees had to follow. It said 'The offence of spitting at opponents, officials or other persons shall be considered violent conduct'. 

This meant that the player committing the offence would be sent off.

Crerands gobbogate took place at the end of the last match of the season, United had already won the div 1 title but their opponents did not lie down for them, the score was 0-0 v Sunderland and Crerand gobbed in a players face as they left the field. You cannot buy class.

so what year was this then?...if it was when they won the title it would have been 1967, not 68 when we won.
utd did play sunderland at the end of the 67/68 season.

Pat Partridge was in charge when Manchester United's Paddy Crerand, was involved in a spitting incident during a game against Stoke at Old Trafford on 13 May 1967. The craggy midfielder, who was being spoken to by Partridge after a clash with Peter Dobing, was caught on TV spitting at Stoke's Tony Allen. Partridge booked Crerand and Dobing but hadn't seen Crerand spitting because the Scot did so while leaning over the ref's shoulder. Partridge later received a letter from the secretary of the Football League asking for his observations on the incident, in response to complaints received by the FA. Partridge was unable to respond with conclusive evidence, but nevertheless the International Board changed the Laws of the Game to put spitting on a par with violent conduct, and therefore a dismissable offence.

Thought this thread was bumped because he popped a clog...

What, just the one?

lol, pissed up old fart.

And at 8am as well. Unless they prerecorded it last night.

Nothing wrong with being pissed at 8am, as long as it's from the night before.

In Crerand's case it's from the decade before. Is that better or worse?

Proof that the strongest sperm does not always make it.

congratulations paddy. you have just made macari and the money forger look normal.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

wonder what paddy has to say in the morning?
About the dirty diving cheating wank long ball rags.

 

[jaiguruKun]

He's as one-eyed about the Rags as Mike Summerbee is about City. Obviously Buzzer's a far nicer bloke.

it's a Scottish tragedy
