    Manchester Fiasco !

    So which dozy bugger put 9 hurdles out instead of 10 thus denying Jess Ennis her P.B . Nova International ,Brendan Foster's company I believe ? organised the event but it was probably a UKA official who was to blame

    And another thing too, Bobby Charlton,interviewed while starting the 10k race just had to have a dig about Man.City winning the title ' favorable refereeing decisions etc ' Neither him nor Ferguson can take defeat with good grace.

    I shall be making my first visit to the Etihad stadium this weekend for the rugby league weekend, looking forward to a few beers around Manchester and maybe a trip to the Lowry Museum at Salford Quays

    That's before you even get onto the organisational cluster f**k that was the Manchester Marathon. Scores of people standing around freezing in cold and wet conditions because they'd manage to misplace all of their finish bags.

    I understand the chap who was responsible for putting out the hurdles said he wasn't surprised when he had quite a few left over as he buys all his furniture from IKEA.
