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.
