YOUR FA'S GOT A PR-MESS

Who could have forseen that inviting the comedy rap act Goldie Lookin' Chain to do some songs before an international football match would all end in profuse public apologies?

The Welsh FA are really, really sorry:

"We couldn't do too much about the booing of the English national anthem, other than to implore Welsh supporters to respect it.

"But we can most certainly stop the sort of nonsense that David Beckham had to put up with before the game from happening again.

"I would like to go on record as issuing a public apology to David Beckham and the English FA and say this is a matter the Welsh FA are treating with great importance.

"People may say it was meant as a joke and maybe we're being fuddy-duddies. But we don't see it like that. There was a basic lack of respect involved here."

The GLC had dedicated Your Missus Is A Nutter to Victoria Beckham before the England-Wales match, in which, of course, David Beckham was playing.

And while nobody can doubt the honesty of the Welsh FA's reply, the obvious question is: what the hell did they expect?
