Wenger becomes Europe's longest-serving manager as Portadown boss resigns
Ronnie McFall had been in charge of the Northern Irish club for an amazing 29 years but stepped down after a shock cup defeat to Lurgan Celtic on Saturday afternoon


Ronnie McFall has brought his incredible 29-year stay in charge of Portadown to an end - leaving Arsene Wenger as the longest-serving manager in European football.


McFall, who was set to leave the club at the end of the season, resigned minutes after his side's shock Irish Cup quarter-final defeat to Championship outfit Lurgan Celtic.
The 69-year-old took charge at Portadown in December 1986 - the same year Sir Alex Ferguson took over at Manchester United.

 Ferguson stepped down at Old Trafford in 2013, leaving McFall as the longest-serving manager in Europe until his decision to step down on Saturday.
That honour now belongs to Wenger, who has been at the helm at Arsenal since October 1996 and is in his 20th year as Gunners boss.
McFall won more than 20 trophies, including four league titles, during his 29 years with Portadown.

It follows a study conducted by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs which found that on average "women's products cost 7% more than similar products for men." The gender price gap was even greater when it came to adult clothes and personal...

Body Language :: Hand to face gestures

The Mouth Guard The mouth guard is one of the few adult gestures that is as obvious as a child's. The hand covers the mouth and the thumb is pressed against the cheek as the brain sub-consciously instructs it to try and suppress the deceitful words that are being said. Sometimes this gesture may only be several fingers over the mouth or even a closed fist, but its meaning remains the same. Many people try to disguise the mouth guard gesture by giving a fake cough.If the person who is speaking uses this gesture, it indicates that he is telling a lie. If, however, he covers his mouth while you are speaking, it indicates that he feels you are lying! Nose Touching and Eye Rub The Nose Touch - In essence, the nose touch gesture is a sophisticated, disguised version of the mouth guard gesture. It may consist of several light rubs below the nose or it may be one quick, almost imperceptible touch. Like the mouth guard gesture, it can be used both by the spe...
