Listening to people talking about the sad passing away of Cloughie tonight, and the excellent Pat Murphy, Mike Ingham and Sir Bobby of Robson all had kind word to say about the great man.
Then it came to Alan Green who is commentating at Old Trafford tonight, and he started parping on about Cloughie not caring about who he offended, did not care about what he said etc etc. He grudgingly said that Clough was in the best six managers of the modern era, along with Shankly, Ferguson, Paisley, Hinshelwood and Stein, but clearly the words stuck in his throat.
Green is a talentless parasitical gobshyte who has made no contribution to the game whatsoever, unlike Clough, who brought back two European Cups (when it was a proper cup and you had to win the league or be the holders to win it, unlike Ferguson who won it with a team that finished third the previous season). Why doesn't he sod off back to reporting on Coleraine v Linfield rather than be a constant stain on football in this country.
Disrespectful little shit.
