Ex-footballer Ian Wright in race row with African traffic warden| News | This is London

Ian Wright, the former footballer and television presenter, has been accused of calling an African traffic warden a "monkey".

He is also alleged to have told the man to "**** off back to his own country" in a dispute over a parking ticket.

Wright denies all the warden's claims, which followed the row outside his home in St John's Wood, North London.

Ian Wright confronts the traffic warden

"He's a liar," he said.

"He called me a white man who lives in a white man's road.

"I said to him, 'I'm sure your parents are happy that you've come to England and been a traffic warden instead of a lawyer or something'."

Ian Wright is an asshole, I believe he would have called an African guy a Monkey. Simply because he is too stupid to come up with his own insult. That "white man in a white man's road" comment sounds so fucking made up. It sounds like something Wrighty said white footballers said to him in the 90s. I really do believe that Ian Wright would have done this. I have no respect for the man.

Also, BBC. Please learn to write. This article about the same incident is atrocious. I had to google to find another article to find out what was going on. BBC NEWS | UK | England | London | Ex-footballer denies 'race abuse'

So it's November and I am going to try to NaBloPoMo this month. That's write a post every day in November in the hopes that it will start a habit and this blog will turn out to be something. I love football and talk about it 24/7 srsly, but I can never get my ass together enough to actually update this blog.

First off, the Scotsman wins for the headline to this article:

Scotsman.com News - Balls up at cup draw by top politician

THE draw for the semi-final of the CIS Insurance Cup has descended into farce after it emerged that one of Scotland's most senior politicians apparently messed it up.

Hearts were initially told they would be facing Dundee United after First Minister Alex Salmond performed the draw live on BBC television.

But within hours it emerged that his colleague, the Scottish Parliament's Presiding Officer Alex Fergusson, had matched up the wrong teams with the balls which Salmond pulled out.

Hearts were then told they would be playing Rangers instead.

Hearts just beat Celtic 2-0 yesterday and then get told they've got to plan fucking Rangers after thinking they've had a (relative) cakewalk. I'd be fucking PISSED OFF too. Rangers are on fire this year. How a member of Scottish Parliament can fuck up 4 balls numbered 1-4 is beyond me.

Actually, it's not beyond me but I thought I'd be nice to the Scots for my first post "back". Don't expect another kind word about Rangers tho.
