CONGRATULATIONS to ex-Northern Ireland international and Crystal Palace FC manager Iain Dowie. He may well be the ugliest man in the history of football, but he has a way with words – and his famous ‘bouncebackability’ catchphrase is now an official part of the English language.

A slightly inhuman presence that bans bad comments and works late at night to remove the wrinkles in Slugger’s technical carpet. You will need to know about the comments policy to stay off the fightin’ side of me and there is a bit of background about me here. You can email me using this spam-proof link if you really need to, and Slugger is @sluggerotoole on Twitter. But above all, remember, Play the ball and not the man.
