Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

Israel at the World Cup

Following the Ghanaian victory against the Czech Republic the other night, one of the Ghanaian players (John Pantsil) was waving an Israeli flag in celebration. He was doing this to thank the Israeli fans who can followed him from Hapoel Tel-Aviv, where he plays his club football. It is a very sad state of afairs that the Ghanaian football association had to put out a statement apologising for this - they apologised for any offence that may have been caused and that Ghana was not taking sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Spokesman Randy Abbey said the Ghanaian FA was not taking sides in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. "He's unaware of international politics. We apologise to anybody who was offended," said Abbey. "We promise that it will never happen again. "He did not act out of malice for the Arab people or in support of Israel. He was naive... we don't need to punish him."
