A family member of mine used to own The Snooker Centre (I think it was called) in Salford back in the late 80s early 90s. I was a teenager but would go and play snooker occasionally and would see the rag players at that time in there getting twatted and playing snooker. They were left alone mostly, so able to get leathered in peace.

The ones I recall seeing most were Robson, Bruce and Pallister. Proper glopheads.

Wasn’t Paul McGrath another, who was more than a little partial to imbibing alcohol?

Or was that before this?

Nope, you're right, mate. He was also a regular. He tended to sit at the bar drinking and not doing much else.

Great player to be fair but had fucked knees, I think.

Whiteside, McGrath, Robson liked to partake in a refreshing ale or two

Allegedly.

Dress like a Rag for Wembley.

1. A United bucket hat.
2. A blue 115 City cheat t-shirt.
3. Zebra pants.
4. A black jacket.
5. A green and gold scarf.
6. Black Nike trainers.

And look like you've travelled 25 mins from home to get there

I always thought Bryan Robson was overrated (A rag? Overrated?). He was okay but certainly not the player many people thought. Besides, he was almost as bad as Darren Anderton for the constant sick-notes.

Overrated and no right foot! Played like contortionist at times so he didn't have to use it.

EtH!

Not only is it his initials, it could be a hint to where they finish in the league.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag banned three media outlets from asking questions at his news conference on Friday.

The Dutchman did not take questions from the Sun, the Mirror and the Manchester Evening News.

Their journalists were present at the news conference, but had been made aware in advance they would not be invited to ask questions.

There’s a definite air of desperation about that Club at the moment. The team is shit, the Manager is clueless, they can’t sell all their tickets for a home game, they are having to virtually give away Cup Final tickets and now they are banning newspapers that write the truth about them. For those of us who grew up during the Busby years and then had to endure them during the Ferguson years this fall from grace is a wonderful thing. I hope they end up in the Championship.
