I've seen both first hand at Rangers - Wilson, even at the age of 17, was laughably superior to Kyrgiakos.
Wilson has never played as a left back in his life, so for Dalgleish to play him there is stupid.

It's not like he had much option tbh.

Not the greatest feat when your opposition is liable to turn up and play like complete bilge tbh.
Edit: Nevermind, disregard that, thought they played Wigan for some reason.

It really is a joke, I concur

Haha, yes, more or less my thoughts on the matter as well.

If the FA want to stamp out "classlessness" in football, this is a terrible place to start. They didn't even object in the slightest to United fans calling Wenger a paedophile, they just pretended it wasn't happening.
Every opposing set of fans in the entire country conducts an aggressive, personal, foul-mouthed attack on Rooney every time he plays a match and we all just consider it "part of the game." Why have they suddenly drawn a line at Rooney telling a camera where to go? It was classless, but British football stadiums are the absolute epitome of classlessness, and everyone knows it. It's like punishing him for touching someone's boob at an orgy.

Because most classlessness within football stadiums stay within the grounds and doesn't get broadcast around the world. I don't watch a lot of Premiership football, but I don't hear too many chants picked up through the effects mikes as audibly as Rooney's swear-filled rant down the camera. Rooney's tanty is a far worse look for the FA in the public arena than chants that can barely be deciphered by Joe Average on the couch.

Haha, it really isn't though is it? His was an act which was done intentionally and in the full knowledge that it would be broadcast at length around the country and indeed the world. You can't go up to someone in the street and do that, I wouldn't say it was a great deal more appropriate to do it in this vein either. I appreciate that football stadiums are indeed full of "classless" (ahem) individuals, but there is no way the FA could ever regulate unsavoury behaviour in the stands to the extent that swearing and so forth was outlawed, imagine trying to enforce that.

Lot of good it's done them too; just 5-2 at home now.
