Classless

Dunner is celebrating the Liverpool victory which takes them to the FA Cup final. The Scouse horde in the final always brings me back to fond memories of white suits and Eric the King.

Old Trafford is not celebrating, and not just because United won't have a chance to Scousebust them this year (the plastic Cup doesn't count, obviously), but because of the damage caused in the ground during the semi-final against ChelsKGB. Toilets smashed, graffiti mocking the tragedy of Munich only days after the usual remembrance of Hillsborough and 24 arrests.

To move back to this side of the Atlantic - I agree wholeheartedly with Dunner's take on the media reaction to the Quinn sacking.

Disgraceful pictures they are and as you pointed out so close to the Hillsborough anniversary aswell.

The game I love has always been shamed by people who support every team and it will continue to do so.

Every club has its morons who follow them and the sooner clubs come together to help each other get rid of them the better.

Chirac gets it right on Lebanon troops?

-
When you have bloggers such as Far and Wide's Steve V and Sicilian Notes' Richard Waghorne , the former a raging critic of Israeli operations in Lebanon and the latter a largely uncritical supporter, agreeing on something you can't help feeling like the unlikely has happened - France is doing something right. They have both criticised France's reluctance to increase UNIFIL troop numbers beyond a fairly token 400, up from their current commitment of 200. France's reluctance is mirrored by the Germans who have offered naval anti-smuggling patrols and perhaps border security, the UK and Denmark who have also offered ships, the Italians who are ready to send 3,000 but not yet and the Irish who have earmarked 200 (which would bring them up to the legal maximum of about 850 overseas at any time due to the Liberia mission) but who are also holding back . The reason is that which I posted on some days ago (albeit having taken a second swing at it) - Resolution 1701 does

Remote Desktop Connection Manager - a boon for admins

-
I subscribe to a bunch of Microsoft blogs and one of them revealed a gem in the past month.  RDCMan, a tool which allows an admin to group together remote desktops, preset their username/password combos and connect to those groups with a right-click option, has been invaluable in my work lately which involves quickly jumping from server to server or from servers to a group of workstations.  The gorgeous thing about it is not merely a gallery of thumbnails of the connected sessions, but the ability to interact with the thumbnails with sufficiently accurate mouse clicks.  Heartily recommended. Here's the original post: Introducing Remote Desktop Connection Manager 2.2 (You had me at EHLO - the Microsoft Exchange Team blog)
