OUR football correspondent LIAM MACKEY is back in top form and full of energy.

He casts his eye over your comments and gives his own critical analysis of the

goings on throughout the world of football. You may agrewith him or then again

you may not. This week Alan Green a typical Scouser; Munich chants don’t

represent Pool fans; RTÉ's George Hamilton was terrible; Pool want to win

league on goal difference but Robbie Keane could haunt them yet; O’Neill

will never be a top manager; Toon fans out of tune; Mike Riley and his five minutes

injury time; Luton return from the dead; City will never win anything with Dunne/Onuoha

partnership.

LAST Monday’s Champions page 3 (March 30) was just another

typical outburst from the ultra Liverpool fan Alan Green. If he wasn't going to

feel nostalgic about Brian Clough, well don't speak ill of a man who not around

to defend himself. A typical Scouse attitude to bring up Clough's newspaper accusation

about the Liverpool fans' behaviour at Hillsborough. 20 years on we still hear

about Hillsborough - while a tragic disaster, trying to blame everyone but the

Liverpool fans is now getting tiresome. Was it the police who broke down the gates

and forced their way into the ground? No it was the fans. While police were blamed

for their lack of organisation, what they were guilty of was to treat Liverpool

fans as normal, when as said last week they had form from four years earlier at

Heysel. While I have no love of Manchester United I would love to see them win

the title to equal the Scousers. Being a Forest fan I know how ungracious Liverpool

fans are as they still are bitter about our two European Cup wins. So maybe that

is the real reason why Alan Green doesn't want to feel nostalgic about the great

Clough.From Brendan, a Forest fan, by email

OUR

SHOUT: Any chance at all that we could have the kind of club rivalry which

doesn't require the deaths of 96 people being used as a football?
