I love it when people just make stuff up to try and add some credence to an argument. It would have been absolutely incredible had ross been hauled off after half an hour for giving away a penalty, because I distinctly recall that penalty being given away in the second half of the game. In reality he was probably taken off after about an hour, for Tim Cahill, one of our best players of the last 30 years, and we went on to win the game. As disgraceful subs go, that one would struggle to make the top 1000 I've seen.

I like Barkley a lot, but plenty of people still aren't 100% convinced he's the real deal now, aged 24. That people still criticise moyes for not building his team round him at 16 is truly special.

Admittedly my memory isn't what it was, and I can't check this one out, but I'm pretty certain it was a first half substition.
Can anyone settle this one?

Have just checked it out. You're right -- Barkley was not substituted in the first half. But not far off it. He gave the penalty away in the first minute of the second half -- and got hooked 3 minutes later!
Superb man-management of a very young player -- not.
