Pride and the men

Not a big sports fan.

Especially all the guff that goes before and after. Screeds of it.

Lewis Hamilton, for whom I have some respect as both a driver and human under the spotlight, has conceded, after what looks like a spectacular cock-up, that 'mistakes have been made'.

Multi-million England Football manager, when commenting in the recent efforts of his multi-million 'talents' against Khazakstan, has moved from a rather different stance I heard 't'other day to a terse 'Well, it's only the result that matters'. Perhaps not if you pay to watch a good game?

What was refreshing that in what passes for more humility on their part, we are at least treated to a wee bit more brevity in their contributions.
