By Andy Worth Posted Wednesday 19th March 2008 08:21 GMTWhile I sympathise with those who will lose their jobs I can hardly say that it’s a surprise given that Motorola make perhaps the worst phones on the market. They were once the "top of the pile" back a couple of decades ago but fell behind by releasing phones with poor features and interfaces concentrating solely on "fashion". I know hardly anyone who uses a Motorola and most people seem to regard them as very poor phones even those who work in the industry. They’ve attempted to redress the balance more recently with their most recent releases having an updated (and thankfully slightly more intuitive) interface but it’s very hard to get the mud off a name. There are too many good phones on the market to bother with the poor ones.

With his three-match suspension coming to an end 24 hours earlier Taylor took his place in Birmingham’s reserve side against Tottenham Hotspur’s second XI at Damson Park. He could not have hoped for a more low-key fixture in which to make his return the lack of a competitive edge allowing the former Blackburn player to stroll through the match. A far-post header helped to set up Birmingham’s first goal in a 3-3 draw but otherwise the central defender was inconspicuous.
