FA missing the point over Cole
The Wembley crowd did not boo Ashley Cole just because he made a mistake. They booed him because they cannot stand him.
All Cole's awful back-pass against Kazakhstan did was present the audience with the ideal opportunity to remind him of that fact.
These people are not 'crazy', as an FA spokesman complained, unless it was a reference to the ticket prices they had paid. They had no need to feel 'ashamed' about it either, despite the entreaties of Rio Ferdinand.
When Cole (right) admits he was crazy to issue his revolting wage complaints on leaving Arsenal, or even to wear that hideous Bacofoil suit and flaunt his bling in OK! magazine; when he confesses he is ashamed that he turned his back on referee Mike Riley in that infamous act of petulance; maybe then, when he does all that, the English public might give him a break.
In the meantime, I'd say a boo is a mild reaction.
From todays Des Kelly column in the Mail. I agree with this.
