he jumped in the area & deliberately handled the ball to try to gain an advantage. unbelievably the cretinous referee gave a penalty for a welsh handball but jordan simply turned away with his fist pumping the air as if he'd just scored a last minute winner. horrible cheating ex-revie's leeds & rag bastard. no sympathy for the fucker at all.

and only a couple of years ago when Pearce threatened him at CoMS
simon23 said:this whole business between jordan and guttoso has got me thinking that there needs to be a rule brought in regarding managers/coaches etc on the side lines. know we have the technical areas to stop them going too fat but there are plenty of managers/aasistants etc that try to influence the ref's, linesman 4th officials too much from this postion...and then you get cases like this
Im in no way saying what guttoso did was right (it wasnt) but it wouldnt suprise me if jordan had provoked him....and this is what needs to be stopped...its getting out of hand
we cannt remove managers from the sidelines altogether as they need to get msgs onto the pitch etc but we somehow need to limit their influence on opposition players, and officials etc
ive only been watching city since the early 80's but i dont seem to remember it being such a constant problem back then (though i could be wrong)
thoughts?????
