    RTTH looks to have gotten lost on the way to the CT form.

    Classic Daily Mail standard of reporting:
    Fan handcuffs himself to goalpost during Premier League match 'because Ryanair wouldn't give his daughter a job'
    ...
    A message on his T-shirt read: 'Europe's greatest training robbers. Ryanair. Lowest wages guaranteed. Stop. Recruitment scamming our children.'
    So he's protesting that Ryanair won't give his daughter a job that pays too low?

    Nothing about his daughter in the Mirror version.

    How long before the Daily Mirror, the Guardian, the BBC and a black player wrongly accuse him of being racist towards black players?

    Not true. However, successful applicants have to go on a training course which they have to pay for: http://www.ehow.com/about_6462569_ryanair-flight-attendant-training.html

    LOL
    If only my Da did something similar when the very high paying and handy number ESB told me to fork off, politely off course, I would be living it up now on a 100 grand a year.

    I hate you Da.

    best part of the match for me, the one hightlight apart from the goal that is. it is not a patch on the former mercedes employee in germany who was sacked by them and he then proceeded to go on the grand prix track during the 2000 german grand prix. :D

    I remember that, was watching it on RTE. When they finally apprehended him and put him into the back of a car, David Kennedy quipped that they should have put him in the boot.
