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.
