Oh Clive, what were you thinking?
Justice for the England Eleven?
Really?
I had to wind back to check that really was the venerable
ITV commentator's reaction to Eric Dier's free-kick goal for England against
Russia.
Actually, I needn't have bothered.
A simple search for 'Clive Tyldesley'
on Twitter revealed that he really had suggested an equivalence between
England's inability to make their dominance pay in a football match on Saturday
night and those many
causes celebres
- not least Hillsborough - where justice denied had had to be fought for.
One of the milder expressions of
outrage came from Jon S Baird who called Clive 'an absolute chomper.'
I have no idea what that is, but it
seems fair comment.
I notice from
his profile, incidentally, that Baird is a film director, currently working on
a bio-pic about Laurel and Hardy.
How closely it is based on Tyldeseley and Glenn Hoddle is not revealed.
Full article at 10am tomorrow. Grateful thanks to
the concrete industry for sponsorship.
