Warnock Refuses To Apologise For Cheating

Controversy surrounded Bristol City's 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace today, thanks to a dubious decision by an assistant referee and a team's refusal to play with honesty or to do the right thing.

The incident occurred in the 51st minute of the game, when Bristol City midfielder, Paul Hartley, had a perfectly good goal ruled out for offside by the errant official. Despite several of Neil Warnock's team knowing Hartley was onside, they steadfastly refused to tell the referee or put the ball in their own net to cancel out the error.

Hartley, who was a good yard onside, refused to be drawn on the incident, and Palace manager and moronic loose cannon, Neil Warnock, who generally loves the sound of his own droning voice, was strangely silent on the issue.

When asked if his team should have confessed that the goal was legitimate or whether his side should have allowed City to walk the ball into the net from the wrongly-awarded freekick, Warnock replied, "I'm 60, you know."

To the relief of the officials, Nicky Maynard popped up in the final minute of the game to ensure the assistant referee's mistake had no affect on the result, as the former Crewe man's strike handed City a 1-0 victory and all three points.
