Warnock and Worthington

I'm not at all comfortable with the suggestion that Warnock behaved particularly badly.

If a manager sticks his hand out to shake hands and the opposition bench blanks you while jumping around like they've won the league, I think a quick two fingers and a 'f**k off' is the very least I would proffer.

When the whistle goes at the end of a game, benches converge, everyone shakes hands and 'celebrations' (should there be the desire for any) can begin. This happens 99% of the time.

But when a team is managed by a coaching team who now treat every victory as something akin to a personal vindication requiring outpourings of ridiculously ostentatious emotion, it appears that such convention can go hang.

Neil Warnock may be the bogeyman to most, but I like him. He is passionate, intelligent and a good manager. He tells it how it is and cuts through the bulls**t.

I couldn't even begin to say the same for Nigel Worthington and for HIM to call Neil Warnock disrespectful is frankly laughable.
