The Times, Sunday Times and Telegraph now seem to
require registration to view articles on their sites, with the
Times and Sunday Times charging readers outside the UK. The
Times/Sunday Times has also moved some of the older articles into
an archive which requires separate registration and requires you to
pay to access the content. The Independent now charges for access
to articles more than a week old.
Clinton Morrison's kiss of life saved Crystal Palace at the
death but he refused to plant a smacker on Peter Taylor after
securing victory over Leeds. "I told him to give me a kiss when he
scored the winner," said the manager, who stood on the sideline
pointing to his cheek as the striker wheeled away in celebration at
his stoppage-time decider.
Morrison, however, was not ready to bow to such demands. "He
wanted me to give him a kiss but I wanted to give him a high five.
If I'd given him a kiss I don't think my missus would have been too
happy." Instead Taylor can console himself with a third successive
win that propelled Palace back to the top of the Championship with
maximum points.
It should not have taken the south Londoners until injury-time
to wrap up the win after Leeds's striker Geoff Horsfield was sent
off in the 15th minute for a violent swing at Mark Hudson, who was
unforgiving as the striker pleaded his innocence.
