n/a Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 from a sp*rs site sums up the differences in there squad Two sides to our lovely squad of players became apparent this week:In the early hours of saturday morning, Wilson Palacios discovers the devastating news that his brother's body has been found torn to shreds in Honduras.He is told the news by his brother at 1 am in the morning.What does he do? He packs his kit bag immediately and waits in the hotel foyer until 7 am in the morning, to ask Redknapps permission to withdraw from the squad.Redknapp could not believe that he waited so long and obviously gave him his blessings.That very night, Jenas, King, Lennon & Defoe, all go on the piss in London. Their Bill for champagne alone came to £10,000.Apparently one bottle cost as much as a single Season ticket is going to cost us mugs this week!It would be nice if the footballers of today showed the same kind of respect that Wilson showed. Times are hard for the working man, like that bouncer experienced last saturday, it aint nice to rub our noses in it!Just a thought when you see that £750 on your VISA bill next month, it is just another bottle of Bubbly for the diamond earinged bling-boys!

Rsonist Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Palacios an antidote to era of egoClass of grieving star a stark contrast to prima donnas of the Premier LeagueBy James LawtonTuesday May 12 2009Wilson Palacios is known here only as a splendid midfield operator, quick and strong and with a fine eye for attacking opportunities who is spoken of with affection and admiration by the two English managers for whom he has performed with nothing less than good-hearted effort and great professionalism.There is, however, some knowledge of where he comes from, which is very helpful in understanding how it was that his behaviour last weekend in the face of a terrible family tragedy shone with touching humility and stoicism and in such contrast to that of some of his more famous co-workers.Palacios is one of five football-playing brothers who are now four after the kidnapping and subsequent murder of Edwin (16) in Palacios' home country of Honduras. This is a place where more than half the seven-million-odd inhabitants live below the poverty line and the trials of life include being very careful about how you express support for a particular political party, on account of not wanting to finish up bullet-riddled in a neighbouring mangrove swamp, not to mention the annual hurricanes which periodically flatten towns, knock down bridges and spread disease.This certainly puts into perspective Palacios' (24) decision to wait out the night in the lobby of a Liverpool hotel until he deemed it an acceptable hour to wake his Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp with the news of the discovery of his brother's body -- and seek clearance to fly home to be among his family.Redknapp's account was, perhaps not surprisingly, touched with a degree of awe.He was a little stunned by the consideration shown to him by the player, and no doubt this reaction was heightened considerably a few hours later when he was informed of the alleged conduct of another of his players, Ledley King, outside a Soho nightclub.Redknapp, who spends quite a bit of his time monitoring the condition of King's injury-afflicted knees, can only have been further saddened by the charge that the England player, after allegedly throwing out racist insults at a bouncer, had been at pains to point out the sharply different wage scales enjoyed by a Premier League superstar and an overweight doorman.Some Manchester United fans may also have noted a contrast between Palacios' control and the self-indulgent emotions of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, who between them couldn't muster a fraction of the respect for their manager Alex Ferguson that the man from Honduras gave to Redknapp each second he delayed his call.Of course, the parallels here are far from exact and making a paragon of Palacios at the expense of the others is to create all kinds of hostages to fate.However, we have not been exactly inundated recently with evidence that the average football star has much sense of the world beyond his own generous slice of it.Palacios' behaviour implied something quite different.It spoke of great respect for his manager and, perhaps, some idea of the magnitude of the good fortune that he enjoyed on his journey from the coastal town of El Ceiba, first to Red Star Belgrade, where a satisfactory contract was not forthcoming, and then a trial at Ar5ena1 and a firm recommendation from Arsene W**ger to Steve Bruce at Birmingham City.Bruce, who eagerly took Palacios to Wigan Athletic and then sold him to Spurs only with great reluctance, says: "Wilson is a tremendous pro, the kind of player you want to build a team around."Bruce's verdict is echoed by Tottenham coach Joe Jordan, who says: "Wilson is a quiet lad -- but everything you want in a player. He is dedicated and plays the game in a great spirit. Apart from being creative, he is also a first-rate tackler -- he puts his foot in and gets the ball, and in this day and age gives up a remarkably low number of free kicks. Everyone at the club is feeling for him now."The fact that the Palacios family paid a ransom demand of around £125,000 in an unsuccessful attempt to save the boy gives one insight into the harshness, and precariousness of life in Wilson's homeland.Others were available back in November 1981, when Honduras, the home nation in a Concacaf knock-out tournament, played their way, for the only time, into the 1982 World Cup finals in Spain, along with fierce rivals El Salvador, with whom the world's only fully-fledged 'football war' had been fought 12 years earlier.There were other factors, including border problems created by the civil war in El Salvador, but it just happened that matters boiled over at the time of a match between the nations and rioting by the fans. It was also true that if you wanted to see football as a metaphor for escape, and hopes, beyond a mean and dangerous life, those games up on the hill in the old stadium in the capital of Tegucigalpa in 1981 served well enough.El Salvador reported that several of their players had recently had brothers killed back home, one of the bodies being found in a rubbish bin, and Haiti's coach said that he expected none of his players to return home. It was the time of the Haitian boat people washing up in Florida, more of them dead than alive, and the old coach said that in a very real sense his players were striving not for a burst of limelight in Spain but new lives. They didn't get them, certainly not via the football field.Haiti finished bottom of the table, with no wins and two goals against nine. Part of the problem was a lack of proper nourishment.Mexico, the hot favourites, finished third and thus didn't qualify. They were advised that no-one should return directly to their homes, and least of all the superstar Hugo Sanchez, later of Real Madrid. There was every chance that the houses would be burned down.In the main square of Tegucigalpa, child beggars swarmed outside the main hotel; those of them who could find no room in the house sponsored by the wife of the president, sleeping in cardboard boxes. But the city and the villages were en fete when Honduras, led by the inspiring Ramon 'El Primitivo' Maradiega, fought a draw with Mexico and won through to Spain.The body of a young worker-priest from Quebec had been found shot and dumped in a lime pit and there was often the sound of gunfire at night -- why? "There is always one reason or another here," shrugged a taxi driver -- but finally the footballers of Honduras had made their mark.This all happened before Wilson Palacios was born, but then the odds are that as he sat in the plush chair of his superior Liverpool hotel, and waited for the dawn to signal the time to call his manager, he reflected that some things in life do not change.Not so much, anyway, that some men don't still have much better reasons than others to celebrate their good luck.Wilson>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsonist Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Pair guilty of S*l C***bell abuse The man and boy had denied shouting offensive chantsA man and a boy have been banned from attending football matches for three years for shouting homophobic chants at Portsmouth footballer S*l C***bell.Ian Trow, 42, of Deanshanger, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, and the boy, 14, denied indecent chanting but were convicted by Portsmouth magistrates.The charges related to abuse aimed at Mr Campbell during a match against his ex-club Tottenham Hotspur last year.In a statement, Mr Campbell said he felt "totally victimised and helpless".'Bad taste'The court statement from the 34-year-old former England defender also said: "I felt absolutely disgusted at this and I didn't react because of my profile and I feared I might make the situation worse and cause problems."I felt totally victimised and helpless by the abuse I received on this day."It has had an effect on me personally and I do not want it to continue. I support the police in their action."After a three-hour trial, Georgette Holbrook, chairwoman of the panel, ruled the two defendants had chanted homophobic abuse during the game at Fratton Park on 28 September.%28Clockwise%20from%20top%20left%29%20Silvester,%20Gibbs,%20Stevens%20and%20TurnerFour men pleaded guilty at a previous hearingShe said: "We find that the words used were in extremely bad taste; they were inappropriate, shocking and disgusting, and as such they were indecent."The magistrates were shown a DVD of footage recorded by police showing Tottenham fans at the match.Mr Campbell was club captain at Tottenham before leaving to join rivals Ar5ena1 in 2001.Angie Cunningham, defending, said the video footage was examined by a professional lip reader who said the youth, who was 13 at the time, could be seen pointing and shouting homophobic abuse.She added that Trow could only be seen mouthing some of the words, but Portsmouth magistrates ruled he had said the same words as the boy.Miss Cunningham added: "They passionately and whole-heartedly believed their behaviour and language didn't overstep the mark of what is acceptable behaviour and language at a football match."Trow was also fined £500 and ordered to pay £400 costs and £15 to a victim surcharge fund.The 14-year-old was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £400 costs.Miss Cunningham said both defendants intended to appeal against the conviction.Following the match, Hampshire Police released images of 16 people wanted in connection with the chants.A total of 11 were arrested and four men pleaded guilty to the offence in January and were sentenced to a three-year football banning order and a fine.Legal firstThree men have been given police cautions while two 15-year-old boys were given final warnings, according to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).While cases of racist chanting have been prosecuted before, this was the first case of indecent chanting to be brought to the courts, the CPS said.Nick Hawkins, Hampshire Chief Crown Prosecutor and CPS national lead on football issues, said: "I am pleased we have secured convictions and admissions of guilt from all 11 people we charged in connection with this unsavoury incident."The magistrates' decision show ordinary people applying common sense are disgusted with the kind of things that went on at Fratton Park last September and reflect the views of ordinary football fans across England and Wales."f*ckin farce.So much for "racist" chanting as suggested previously then? What a load of ballox we'll see if this really does set a precedence. I wonder how many fans (from all clubs) will be charged for indecent chanting this time next year.lol @ sol thinking this will actually stop us.Wait till next season....
